Yeah, I've heard the "band 6" story...yulz555 said:
But I was told "outstanding achievement", as well as "usually above 85", so I'm not quite sure.

wow thats weird that like 6 ppl from same school got in
cos i know that in philo that was teh case, but in cosmology i think like 3 ppl from james ruse was the max they kinda let in..
Um you don't get in if you just get a band 6, they usually have a certain amount of places to fill I think, cos i know ppl who got band 6's and didn't get in...
meh who knows, in teh end i guess its just good that you got in right haha

YAY i got into cosmoslogy.
oh and katie, i'm Tamara i don't know if you remember me i was at the orientation day and you introduced me to your friend Larissa. I was wondering if you had heard whether she got in or not (i hope she did!).
and one of my friends got high band 5 (can't remember the exact mark) and she got into the philosophy course. I think they also take into account the difficulty of the course in which you were accelerated. For her it was chemistry so that might have helped.
Congratulations everyone - see you at the residential!
PS has anyone logged into the site yet? I gave them an email address i hadn't actually activated yet and i only did it today so have they sent out the passwords yet? And will that freaky guy who spoke at the information day be reading all our posts?!?!

the one who manages the website? i thought so. he was like "i love reading what the student say" and he was kinda greasy looking. Wait... he is probably reading now....icycloud said:
anyway here is the site: http://www.distinction.nsw.edu.au/
and it says "Those of you who supplied an E-Mail address on your Application Form may also retrieve your initial password from here (click here) "
but i dont want to be the first one to log in!
