hi melanie. in the past johns has had a big sporting orientation but i think this will change this year as we look to put more emphasis on the whole community/family thing. So really its irrelevant if you've played sport, or if you've done music, community service or whatever, as long as you've...

shota- i'm pretty sure most people would get their on Sunday arvo, maybe a current resident could give you a more accurate answer. i was just wondering has anybody recieved any correspondence from johns (i.e. welcome email, info pack) apart from the offer of accomodation? would it be...

hi guys i'll be starting at johns this year doing my second year of Commerce/Economics. i'd like to get an idea of what the daily life of a john's resident invloves. are all the people heaps keen students or is there a range of academic abilities? do most people have part time jobs? how much...

it will change from accom offer made to accom offer accepted only once they recieve your paperwork i.e. the attachments on the email. i rang up john to confirm that they got my reply so you could try that.

do john or any other college have a facebook page?? are there any other website/page about john other than the official site?? its just nice to get a feel for the place. thanx

hey guys. i just got accepted into John College and am extremely excited and can't wait to get to know some of you. i know this may seem paranoid but how strictly do they enforce the 48 hour acceptance rule? where all emails given out on friday cos i've had some probs with my email and i had to...

attn schmeag: did you get an offer on the weekend???? does the offer come up on your email before it comes up on the anu page?? well done on getting into John, fingers crossed i'll be joining you.

evilo, how does that guy not apply for that 1st year accomodation gaurantee? isn't as long as you're undergrad and live outside ACT and applied on time?

when do you get your accomodation offer?????? it supposedly comes thru email right?? at what time of day had people got it in the past??

when do we get our accomodation offers? and its an accomodation gaurantee like in previous years right? oh and well done on everyone going to ANU next year

it says on the 1st page that generally the NRSL cutoffs are lower than the UAI cutoffs. how true is that?

so is that the same each year, i thought it would differ with demand?

how would you do that? i rang up UAC and they said its ranked, so is the NRSL what they're talking about? but that doesn't make any sense cos wouldn't the ranking change each year? are the people who reckon they know their NRSL just estimating it in an exact way? on what are they basing that?

when do we find out what our rank/mark is to transfer? is it on the 20th of December when the UAI's come out? and because i've already done a year of uni and am transferring, does that mean that my ranked mark is put in with all the school leavers or do i compete directly with the other...

i'm want to get into commerce/economics, but commerce or economics straight would be good enough. i'm a bit sceptical of your claim that the UAI's are static cos they went down by about 8 points from the previos year. however you may have inside information and i really hope that you're right...
