uhhh yeah i guess lol. its honestly probably not that worth it imo but you want to have any options as possible (UAC gives you 5 preferences in NSW). im in your boat im set on monash and am from Sydney, but did UAC anyway since early entries, scholarships, etc. you need it. I know $70 is a lot, its unnecessarily high pricing tbh - I am not very keen on uni in nsw either, but $70 is minimal to the possible opportunities you might get from it. Remember, at the end, you want to have as many preferences as possible - cast your net as wide as you can - that was my thinking. Maybe i might not get monash, and you might not get unimelb, so we all need those possible back-ups in case things don't go our way.

Good luck x

Really love this first post, welcome Amanda! ;D

$70 now for the peace of mind that you've got  a backup plan is probably a really good thing. It's not an insane amount of money ;D but you do you! If you know it is 100% unimelb and if you don't get in there, no uni at all, then fair enough :)
