Maybe I could get my parents to just call and ask them for my score cause I’m that desparate

I dont think theyre open on school holidays

I dont think theyre open on school holidays

Wait so if I get rejected and I want to appeal, I physically can’t respond within a week and then my appeal won’t even get read so I’m rejected either way with no chance to ever fix it !?

they might set their appeal due date to a longer time cus its holidays

 

[bluepanda@2502]

How do you appeal

 

[woo_879]

I’ve heard that you can reply to the rejection email if they have sent you one asking for reconsideration or you can simply email them with the subject line stating Appeal for reconsideration.

are hast results coming by post?

i still haven't gotten mine back yet
for year 9 2026 admission to girraween high school

 

[woo_879]

for my friends that have tried out, no. Because a lot of schools get lots of appeal requests and the schools tend to push the reappeal matters to the last days of term 3 or whatever so they like do a brief look at everything and decide. In very rare cases, maybe if someone from the reserve list rejects, only once I’ve heard, that they send an email to the top candidate amongst those who were rejected. But stilll reappearing doesn’t do any harm, you should do it.

GNG, so ik im prolly so late to this discussion, seems like new updates be popping up every second, but last week i got reserve letter from tech (sydney tech was my first pref, hurlstone 2nd, and mac fields 3rd, im in yr 8 for yr 9 entry btw) and i thought this was an okay result, until recently one kid in my class GOT IN HURLSTONE, but he had the exact same hast bands as me (top 10% reading, top of middle 50% in maths, BOTTOM 15% abstract (competition in abstract was crazy) and top 10% writing, overall bottom of top 15% in total HAST) and apparently offers have been made for tech as well?! NOOOOOOOOO, apparemtly one of the hurlstone officers told my dad that the reason the kid with the same band got in, is cuz he ranked it 1st, while i ranked tech 1st, selective school entry logic is so cooked man, im legit so desparate rn, basically as much as @Smartboiiii lol! atp, all i can hope for is kids leave in term 4....

 

[woo_879]

dw, youre still in year 8 so you have time. in some cases, people leave in term 4, so you have a good chance. but if it doesnt work out, you can always apply in the following years

 

[clockiework]

pls anyone have any experiences/advice of reserve list entry into tech? or any hast school perhaps? would be super helpful, sry for being this desparate

Based on my knowledge, they first check ur hast results and if ur overall top 20% they look into u further such as school reports etc. extracurricular don’t mean much however its good to have them
