There's no lift. If you're really nice, your senior ressie might help you. But I doubt it. :)

Yeah, when I enrolled on Wednesday the law people just signed my sheet, whereas the arts people asked what arts subjects I wanted, wrote them down for me, and then signed. It's just because they're not compulsory.

It's true. But keep it quiet.

No way! I think the arts bit is the part that's going to keep me sane...

Oops...*feels embarassed*. Yeah, I was doing a "moving out" search and kinda didn't check the date. But look at the stream of replies I started!

I just recently got put on YA. Since I'm not moving out for another couple of weeks they have me on the at-home rate, but that will automatically switch over on the 12th when I go to B&G. It's all pretty easy actually, I got a letter of acceptance 2 days after handing in my form. But I'm...

It doesn't come in the offer pack, I think you get it on enrolment day.

It's not. It's the typical 1st year history course, but I guess if you're going to do history you can't get away with knowing nothing about Rome, and we didn't do it for HSC...

This will be of no help to you at all, but...I'm majoring in history too! What subjects are you doing this semester? I think I'm going with Rome, just to be different...

They guarantee a spot. They don't guarantee a spot in the halls which you choose. Basically, you will have somewhere to stay, but not necessarily where you want it.

That's why you have to pre-empt them and just send in a letter about your skills/achievements blah blah blah. I think that's the only reason I got into B&G, because I applied in the last week of applications. You have to give them a reason to want you, otherwise it's just pot luck.

I went up majorly in Ancient: Assessment 89, Exam 96, but down in ext hist: assessment 94, exam 88....but that was totally my fault, I stuffed up the time management in the exam and ended up spending 1/2 hr on a 1 hr question.

That's true, and in a year nobody will care what we got, but I guess the people who are most disappointed feel that way because they are their own biggest critic. It's not really about living up to other's expectations, or the fact that you want to be able to brag about your great marks, it's...

ZEppelin, I think you have to remember that no matter what UAI you got, you could always have tried a little bit harder. And that's something you have to deal with if you want to be able to move on and lose that sense of regret. I understand totally what you're feeling, because I am a...

Repped! Thanks Mary Jane.

Oh no! We lost a member of the Law club before we even started! Townie, did you send references? Couldn't you try doing that and then ring them up and at least try and talk to someone about it? None of these things are set in concrete, some people are goin to reject their offers etc. Write a letter!

I'm paying...quite a scary thought really. I just doshed out $939 for college acceptance fee, although $800 of it was my high school deposit refunded, which my parents gave to me.

My mum is super-enthusiastic about the whole ordeal and is so excited about PEA day there's no way I could go it alone without doing anything as subtle as "MUM! GO AWAY!" Both my sets of parents (mum and step-dad, dad and step-mum), complete with siblings, want to help me move into college on...

That's very strange...I applied towards the end and got into B&G (my first pref) straight away. Maybe it's Fenner in particular that's having problems, because it seems like everyone's getting into B&G pretty easily. The only thing I can think of is maybe you should send in a reference and a...
