Thank you for this baseless personal attack, please note that you have no idea who I am.
I never said Batman made a point, I do not enjoy assuming things about anyone's opinions or character (unlike some). I am merely pointing out a different perspective that should be considered, as Batman did say "People getting 95 and 96 ATARS get into medicine
just because they have lived in a rural area. People like me who live in urban areas are forced to produce higher ATAR score (98+). So please, don't say that other applicants are better because a lot of times they just aren't better."
the use of "
just because" in this statement seems to indicate a lack of understanding of the struggles which may face rural candidates (even if this isn't the reason why they land interviews)
In another of his statements: "In fact, I just met a doctor today who achieved an ATAR of 98.2 and got in to medicine. Just another example of the fault in the selection process in terms of ATAR scores," he seems to imply that his aforementioned point about the distinction between urban and rural candidates is also a "fault"
this is just how his view comes across. I will not be assumptive about his opinion, as you seem to have been about mine. Care to note that in my previous message, I have used speculative rather than absolute terms as I am in no place to say what right or wrong. If anyone else feels that my offering of a different perspective is a personal attack, I apologise as that was not my intention.
And yes, I still believe that if an individual did in fact show ignorance to issues of social inequity while applying for a degree with a focus on social inequity, they are probably not suitable. I never specifically said anyone did this, it was merely a suggestion. Furthermore, I never saw anything "malicious" about batman's statements, he is entitled to an opinion, your belief that I may have is quite laughable considering once again the fact that you know nothing about me. Here's a fact: I missed out on a JCU interview too
