    Scholarships

    My ATAR is also higher than yours (98.05) and UWS is my second preference, and yes, I have lived in Greater Western Sydney for more than five years, and have received no contact from UWS about the Academic Excellence scholarship. Perhaps because I'm applying to medicine (different selection...

    BOS Showcase: 2009 Major Works

    hey guys. first off, congrats to those who did splendidly (and congrats asubmarine)! i did not get the result that i expected, and am actually quite distraught by the fact that I got 37. My external mark was 37, and so was my internal, but only because I'm the only person at my school who did...

    med interviews

    And if you took the time to check out the table of cut offs, you'd also realise that 80th percentile, aka, 56, merely required a prediction of 99.5. So, "must of rounded up to 100," = no, not must of.

    med interviews

    Stop being so daft. There is no such thing as a 99.8 prediction, considering the UNSW application form increases in increments of 1. So you either got 99, 100, or both were circled, indicating 99.5.

    Romanticism Essay - How are you structuring it? (Thematic or Text by Text)

    I do not agree. Kubla Khan is the product of the imagination; it says little of its power. Coleridge thought of it whilst unconscious and smashed off his face, so to label him a genius (with respects to this poem) and to dwell on the nature of creativity is a bit of a farce. Moreover, it does...

    Coleridge

    A demand of the syllabus is that you explore the module through a variety of forms and mediums. 3 poetry + 1 painting = not the best recipe for success. I personally am doing a novel, a poet, a short story and a closet drama.

    Romanticism Essay - How are you structuring it? (Thematic or Text by Text)

    oh and yes, I do it thematically. This is extension; chance of being asked to focus on ONE theme? Very little. And, if say, they ask about ONLY the imagination, The imagination is used in Romanticism to attain the ideal, and usually, is also linked to the 'individual.' You shouldn't be...

    Romanticism Essay - How are you structuring it? (Thematic or Text by Text)

    I've heard from some markers and teachers that Kubla Khan isn't the best text to use due to it's abstract nature, and unconventional Romanticism.

    What. The imagination is perhaps the most important theme of Romanticism. Surely you're joking? Do some googling.

    haha! i love it! louise siefer! now i feel bad about not mentioning the dream sequence in the RS, just not enough words! hopefully, the title, the allusion to a dream at the end of the future sequence, and the italicised style of the passage is enough for the marker to get it.

    Lucifer was possessing Elaine - that happens right at the beginning of the scene, when he/she wakes up in the hospital room and that is maintained throughout. By Telegraph writer, I'm assuming you're referring to the article? That was written by Lisa Dewitt (as the byline states, random name...

    Woah. Seriously? I'm a bit lost for words. You're for the first person to say that the Major Work itself didn't make sense, of my teacher, other mentors, friends, and guys on here. I'd like your notes on it if just to get an understanding of what exactly was lost on you. Lilith is only an...

    2008 HSC School Rankings

    Re: Full School Rankings I'm assuming the ext 1 listing is for schools with only 5+ students? Cause there'd be a few with only 3 or so that would top that list. Last yr, we had 3 students do ext 1, who got 46, 46, and 45.

    Well, from memory, the centre number was supposed to go on the front cover of your work, and the school and centre number on the forms that the BoS handed out. If you're worried, just let your school know, and they'll ring the BoS to clarify/sort it out. It's not that a big of a problem.

    Thanks for taking the time to read and comment! I feel slightly reassured that they wont take a single look at my RS, and say, "E3E3E3." With the incorporation of biblical/mythical allusions, I wanted to do more, to really bring it in line with Romanticism/Modernism, but I didn't really have...

    I believe the SCHOOL number is a 5 digit number, which is distinct from the CENTRE number, which is a three digit number (though I'm not sure if its ONLY a three digit number, I'm assuming they'd prolly foray into four digit realm as well, but I doubt 5). Might wanna give BoS a ring, or ask...
