So how do we add proof of participation in exc? I have a STEM club at school, but I don't have any certificates from it, I only have the offer of enrollment to join the club. Do I just put in a screenshot of the enrollment letter?
yeah you could do that but try contact your school if they can provide a certificate of participation at the very least because that’s what’s usually more preferred

MY 100TH MESSAGE!!!

I heard people talking about some like online Harvard thing, is that any good? I don’t know what extracurriculars I can sign up to because my portfolio is kind of bland right now, just participation in playing and officiating a sport. Would they prefer 3 good excs or like 10 random ones? Btw I also didn’t do the icas or math comps cause I kinda forgottttttt
hehe

If hurlstone said nothing it means ur prolly on the reserve list as well but I honestly don’t know. Like I think the way it works is ur 2nd pref school can’t reject or accept you until your first pref does..

All speculation tho but Sydney tech kids are leaving so try not to worry too much ….
@Smartboiiii do you know approxiamately how many spots open for hurlstone year 10entry. like how many people leave the school and what is the chance of getting an offer if you are in reserve

I was actually planning to do those but the results come out after HAST and Edutest sadly.... So I won't be able to add them in my portfolio

i go hurlstone and its legit ONLY if people leave. usually around 3-5 spots for yr10 entry. although our school's starting to introduce extra spots but we're not too sure how many it is. (might be like 15-30 openings for year 11 entry???)

hi !! for any1 who has an interview at girra for yr 10 entry, what time is ur interview? cus i know someone who has an offer too, but our interview times are different, despite us being in the same cohort. i've seen ppl mention that during girra interviews, evb gathers in the library at the same time, so i'm wondering if this has changed??
