There are no classes. It's purely independent study really except the residential houses where you go off to some places to learn some stuff. It happens twice for Cosmology and for three times for Philosophy.kaz1 said:Congratulations to everyone who got in. When do you have classes? During school time or like on Saturdays.
Sorry to hear that. I like your optimism though, at least you can focus on your current subjects.the-derivative said:Hmm I guess I'm the first one to admit I didn't get in.
Had a really werid relationship with BOS though. 1st day - got an accidental call - then got told they hadn't actually finished considering my application yet. 2nd day - all the other applicants from my school got their outcomes back so I called them to ask - and they said I wasn't on the 'mainstream' successful applicant list and they had to confirm with the other applicants before they could finalise whether offering me a position or not. Then on the 3rd day - got confirmed I didn't make it.
But yeah, I'm not dissappointed - I'm actually looking forward to working harder in all my subjects. However it is a bit dissappointing to know that nobody from my school got in. Bad year for my school - first dropping from the top 200, now this.
Oh yeah to end on a positive note - congrats to the guys who did make it to Philosophy and Cosmology!
He must have been very close though considering that he actually got Band 6 in his accelerated course.VampireGirl said:Sorry to hear that. I like your optimism though, at least you can focus on your current subjects.
Two of my close friends also didn't get into Philosophy and Cosmology.

Yeah same here, not that I would've accelerated anyway..Doctor Jolly said:Exactly I don't do any distinction courses, or even accelerated. You guys are fortunate enough to have a school that offers such courses and you have the choice to either do it or not. With my school they completely blocked out this 'accelerated' thing from us. I didn't even hear about it until this year
I am pretty sure you would have. There are so many advantages that come with it if you are really commited.youngminii said:Yeah same here, not that I would've accelerated anyway..
Yeah but you see, up until mid year 11, I wasn't commited or anything.. Like, I was literally failing everything coming in the bottom 10ish etc. So there's no way I would've considered acceleratinglyounamu said:I am pretty sure you would have.

Think about getting taught in a better, more academic and selective environment. Yeah, that's quite nice, haha
Yeah, I am waiting everyday for my Cosmo stuff to arrive. I will be the first one to rip that package (not the books hopefully) and stack them nicely in my room, hahahaMithead said:Hey, I got into Philosophy, which Im thankful for. Another guy in my school also got in. I cant wait for my package of stuff!
yeah same here, i think i'd be really interested for 1 hour then nothingMithead said:I cant wait for my package of stuff!
Both did drama, I got 98 and he got 96lyounamu said:Yeah, I am waiting everyday for my Cosmo stuff to arrive. I will be the first one to rip that package (not the books hopefully) and stack them nicely in my room, hahaha
Btw, congrats on getting in. What did you get in your accelerated course btw? (and your friend?)
more like 3 minutes of joy (time taking to open the package) and then continous influx of :burn:Timothy.Siu said:yeah same here, i think i'd be really interested for 1 hour then nothing
Wow, that's very good. Well done again for getting in,Mithead said:Both did drama, I got 98 and he got 96
