fr. they just wanna feel good about themselves by hating on roughly the median atar... nothing wrong with wanting a 75 atar if that's what you need for your course
people like that pmo because they don't realise that the atar isn't a measure of intelligence, and shouldn't be thought of as a measure of intelligence.

but to answer your question you might want to use atar calculators as a rough guide, but depending on if your school sets easy tests or not it's kind of hard to tell if it's a good estimation. keep in mind, a 70 atar is about the average atar, so you'll need to be above average. english standard doesn't scale well, and english advanced has almost as many students but scales significantly better, so you'll probably want to be more than just above average in that subject. as well as hospitality. But, at the end of the day, it's very hard to know what grades you need to get, because at this stage it all depends on how hard your school tests are, and what your cohort at school is like.
However, since you say that your predicted atar is 86, you should probably just keep doing what you're doing. It's better to accidentally get an 86 atar than to just miss out on the course that you want to do...
For bonus points, definitely look at the UAC website about that.

Anyway, I'm sure you know all of this already, but I'm just procrastinating doing my Drama major work trial rn lol.

wait why did i respond to a post from like a week ago i don't know how to use this website
sorry gang idk how this works

Yeah I do T. S. Eliot pmo

I can see how we might be able to relate to all of this someday, but rn it's just adding fuel (depression) to the fire (HSC)
fr , my friend was struggling with depression and a lot of other health issues and they were forced to go to school every day and sit through mrs dalloway and the hours. even though it wasn't the reason they tried to kill themself, the texts definitely didn't help and probably made it worse. straihgt up almost glorifying suicide. english definitely shouldn't be compulsory

Oh nooo I'm sorry that happened to your friend! I can definitely see how that could be a factor though

Yeah I really hope the new English course is at least a little better, because this won't cut it

Wait is ts Elliot about depression and suicide. Why would they make us study such a thing? And lowkey I was kinda depressed a few years back so hopefully it won’t be too triggering when I study it next year but I think I’ll be fine

Nah it’s not suicidal or anything he’s just spiralling down an existential crisis

Imo the themes discussed and used are more on the psychology of humanity tied in with religion and other bullshit from his immediate context like romanticism/modernism

Basically "depression" but expressed in an incredibly conceptual and convoluted way that isn't explicitly about "suicide" if u get what i mean

If he truly just wanted to talk about suicide he would've written "i want to fucking die" several times in 10 different stanzas with each second sentence counting down from the number of hours that exist in one day
Nah but that’s too direct. He wanted to create metaphors to describe his feelings
