i am shitposting my h1. i have no passion for it. i dislike having to take a contrasting subject just for the sake of it when i have 0 passion whatsoever. even more so with the 70rp system. having a h1 does not make sense.
i’ve heard people say, “doing well in your h1 makes you stand out because more people are getting 70rp” but cmon be so fr. people who stand out are the ones who have leadership roles, volunteering hours etc. if anyone has seen the university admissions spreadsheet for the big 3 admission rates, i’ve seen so many people get AAA/U (h1, not gp to be clear) get into courses like med. what REALLY matters is your h2s and interviews.
why is seab still making us take a contrasting h1? they made the decision to change the system to 70rp, clearly there is going to be a more homogenised mark spread from a lower mark. by the way, i HAVE calculated, h1 can only pull your mark up by 1-1.3rp, and that’s considering you an A. you might as well forget about your h1 and just lock in for 70rp.
sigh.
tldr: i hate my h1 subject and i hate even more that my parents don’t understand that it DOESN’T MATTER ANYMORE
