In high school, the subliminal message was that the higher your UAI, the better your life will be, or at least a high UAI is your key to a successful life.
They should do a documentary on people who get 100 UAI (or >99.5) and record their life at different stages: the day they found out their results, then five years down the track, ten and twenty years. A bit like the 7-Up documentary series. It would be interesting.

ReplyDeleteLooks like it's now called ATAR, not UAI
