High school doesn't have as many oppurtunities as University. Case in point - Formula SAE. If you are REMOTELY interested in being taken seriously in mechnical engineering jobs in the future this is damn good to have on your CV. High school doesn't give you the oppurtunity to go out and build A FUCKEN RACING CAR! (Melbournian, you'd probably get in purely on the basis that you're a girl IIRC our team has a simliar policy to encourage more female team members)
Uni also has more clubs that are great for meeting like-minded people. Granted, there are plenty where the whole aim is simply to get smashed daily, but there are some good ones too. I'm in the IET (Institution of Engineeirng and Technology) monash branch, which is international and very well recognized around the world.
Secondary school teachers always make a big fuss about how important VCE is. After your first week at uni, it just becomes a meaningless number. High school academically was piss easy compared to uni, but everywhere else uni is a much better environment.
I wouldn't count on it. I had a major car accident last year and suffered from memory loss (still do to a small extent now). I applied for special consideration, but I got absolutely nothing. Fuck the engineering staff.
You work at PwC? Any chance you could get me in?

I'm hoping that most of my lecturers, especially in my 2nd, 3rd and 4th years are understanding, as I will be working full-time at PwC and be very busy, and may have to miss lectures/tutorials due to being away doing auditing away from newy. But I think they will expect me to be of the same calibre as the otehr trainees of now and past, which I don't think I am to be honest.
I also hope they are understanding next year as I am having surgery sometime and will most likely need time off uni to recover. Joy....
