I think chances would be pretty good. It would be stupid to take so many shortlisted people from the first round if they weren't serious about offering. Also, they wouldn't bother paying Professional Business Cadetships for their work if they just took whoever for interviews. I guess its hard to tell though cause we have no idea about how many Cadetships there actually are for each company. But as I said before there are about 2 or three locations for Westpac Cadetships so there must be at least one per location, if not more.

Also, I go to a private school in the Sutherland Shire region.
when u put it that way i feel much more confident about it.. i would expect the firms to definitly take more than one cadet per location.. they would at least take 3/4 minimum i reckon, especially westpac which is extremely large domestically

i go to a private school in northern sydney.. live out near chatswood

Well i remember talking to my interviewer (joanne?) and she said that they were looking to offer more cadetships than they did last year. I think they offered around 25-30 last year so i'm assuming second year round with the program they would want to expand to about 40???? I guess we'll find out soon enough, hopefully we all get our phone calls tomorrow.
