前面有幾位澳州幫的貼文，話澳州的大學入學要求高，很多科都要 ATAR>97，只收尖子，吹噓澳州大學的質素。
查實澳州大學，講就話收生要求好高，但實際收生時就很低，有一篇澳洲報紙的報導，完全篤爆澳州大學濫收學生的醜聞。該篇報導的總結如下:
-NSW 大學的頂級課程，收生低過 ATAR 30 - 入讀學生的成績，比收生的最低要求，還要低 40分 (包括UNSW，SydneyU) -27% SydneyU的學生，未達大學訂明的最低入學要求 - 46% UNSW 的學生，未達大學訂明的最低入學要求 - 66%MacquarieU的學生，未達大學訂明的最低入學要求 -91% UNSW / Bachelor of Combined Law 的學生，未達訂明的ATAR 99.7要求，其中兩個學生只有67 -99% WSU / Bachelor of Construction Management的學生，未達訂明的ATAR 85要求

NSW universities are admitting students with ATARs as low as 30 intosome of the state's top tertiary degrees, a Fairfax Media investigation intoconfidential university data has revealed.
Students with marks up to 40 points below the advertised course cut-offare being accepted in fields such as business, teaching and engineering,according to the 2016 admissions figures from the University of Sydney, UNSW,Macquarie University and Western Sydney University.
An ATAR [Australia Tertiary Admissions Rank] isawarded to more than 50,000 NSW high school students in December each year.Universities set an ATAR cut-off according to what they believe is the minimumacademic standard required to complete a course, as well as supply and demandfor the degree.
The admissions data, seen for the first time byFairfax Media, comes four years after the cap on student numbers was lifted bythe federal government in 2012 allowing universities to recruit as manystudents as they can fit. The majority of degrees are funded by the federalgovernment through student loans paid to the universities. The loan, oftenworth more than $20,000, is later repaid by students when they earn over$54,000.
The figures show top Sydney universities areoffering places to thousands of school leavers with marks significantly belowthe minimum entry standard. Up to two thirds of students offered places atMacquarie University had ATARs below the advertised cut-off – the highest shareof the four universities. The University of Sydney had the lowest share, with27 per cent of students scoring below the required mark.
NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli said thatuniversities were putting their reputations at risk, and that there was noexcuse for admitting such large numbers of sub-standard students.
"I'm annoyed that universities are takingstudents with such low marks out of self respect for their ownuniversity," he said. "For universities that are concerned abouttheir rankings internationally to be taking in students with such low ATARs isnot a good look. I know they have funding pressures, but that is noexcuse."
The universities maintain that including studentswho did not get the required ATAR ensures disadvantaged students do not missout on an opportunity for an education. One student whose applicant report has been obtained by Fairfax Media scored an ATAR in the 30s and was admitted to a combined Bachelor of Secondary Education and Arts at Macquarie Universitywith a cut-off of 75. She had received up to 10 bonus points for being from a disadvantaged school in Sydney's west.
In one of the nation's most prestigious degrees,the Bachelor of Combined Law at UNSW, 91 per cent of offers were made tostudents who did not meet the ATAR cut-off of 99.7, including to two applicantswho had scored only 67. More than 40 per cent of offers made to students tostudy a Bachelor of Combined Law at the University of Sydney were also belowthe cut-off of 99.5.
At Western Sydney University, 99 per cent of the251 students offered places in its Bachelor of Construction Management programdid not make the cut-off of 85. WSU undertook an extensive recruiting drivethis year, offering a record 12,000 places – the most of any NSW tertiaryinstitution.
Individual university applicant reports show thatstudents with ATARs as low as 46 have been offered a place in the MedicalScience degree at Western Sydney University from next year, while Macquarie hasinvited students with ATARs in the 30s and who failed to score above a Band 3in HSC economics to take up Commerce degrees. The practice of offering discounted ATAR entryremains prevalent among teaching degrees, despite a recent NSW governmentstipulation that all incoming teaching students must score three band 5s intheir HSC subjects. The restriction does not apply to students undertakingdouble degrees.
At UNSW one in three students across all seven ofits combined teaching degrees failed to make the minimum standard. More than 86per cent of students admitted to Western Sydney University's combined Bachelorof Arts and Master of Primary Teaching degree did not make the advertisedcut-off of 70.
Mr Piccoli said universities were using teachingstudents as cash cows to accumulate Commonwealth government funding throughHECS debts. He said the federal government should set minimumentry requirements or cap the number of funded places. Federal Education Minister Simon Birmingham saidthere were no current plans to reinstate caps for universities.
"Universities must take responsibility forthose students they choose to enrol and ensure they have the capabilities andsupport to succeed," he said All four universities declined to comment onindividual student applications. A UNSW spokeswoman said students were validlyadmitted through "alternative entry schemes," and cited the ATAR as afar from perfect measure of academic potential, despite the universityenthusiastically advertising their ATAR cut-offs last week.
A spokeswoman for the University of Sydney saidthat some of its students who were significantly below ATAR cut-offs wereadmitted through its Indigenous opportunity program, while WSU and Macquariesaid that the admissions take into account a variety of circumstances that mayhave disadvantaged students during their studies.
