Dude, 7 applicants for Comp Lit from one school? You guys pretty much outnumber the whole course candidature of 2006 :p (i loled at the guy who got first in Comp Lit this year, just because he had to beat all of ten people :p no offense, dude, whoever you are, but you did do comp lit)

I got in to Philo 2006 with 88 for English Advanced and 46 for Extension 1, so you don't have to be super-duper awesome to get in.

Umm from my school there were 7 applicants for Comp Lit, we all got in. And about 3 for Cosmology I think? And they all got like ridiculously awesome 97s and such in 4U Maths, so y'know. I dunno if anyone from here applied for Philosophy. But anyway, I was really really not expecting to get in, so it was pretty cool.
We had only the two applicants, myself for Cosmology and another for Philosophy, but he's overseas so I don't know if he got in yet. This should be fun ;)

Haha holy fuck, that would've almost been a certainty :uhhuh: Too bad you didn't apply, would have loved to meet you at the residential ;)

To the topic of the thread, yes I did get the phone call, and yes, I'm now in Cosmology :D I remember on the sheet it says that phone calls will be made in the 19th-21st of December, so you might still have a chance :)
Congrats Gab!:D

Congrats to you both Tillytilly and SoulSeacher! The hard work paid off.

Comparative literature sounds pretty interesting, methinks.

the best thing about DCs is the people you meet.

your nerd network becomes massive.

i mean, i know 6 of the 'top of a subject' people now. 2 i knew beforehand, but 4 i met through DCs.

its a special group. do not take it for granted - and do not drop it.

Congrats Guys,
From a ex-cosmo student, you'll definitely enjoy the residentials, they are great fun. I remember the first residential, all you did was play cricket and tennis. Haha!

Hi Jason.

Exceptional students who have accelerated and completed, ahead of their cohort, all HSC course requirements in one subject area generally at the highest level may be eligible to study a Distinction Course.
Students will have completed the accelerated course the year prior to that in which they intend to study a Distinction Course.
Im not sure about the validity of this, considering like, more than half of the people who applied, got into their courses THAT I KNOW OF. Which means about 7 cosmo people. We were sitting in the deserted maths room (free periods rule), when one of our friends got a phone call, saying he got in cosmo. And one after another they went off ..

And if Robert reads this .. Sup.

Congratulations, I remember that you were very eager to get in. And you made it!

Well, from what I gather, there's around 30 kids in Cosmology this year.

My very good friend just phoned me from overseas and informed me that she got into Philosophy! I am SO happy for her! She was so worried that she wouldn't get in (total rubbish!)...ahhh I knew she would! Clever girl! :D
