I don’t think so but hey, at least it’s guaranteed to come by tomorrow

no, its not guaranteed in a sense but there is an EXTREMELY high likelihood that you will get it (>90%) because things can happen that will slow down delivery but yeah its highly probably haha

I like those odds though but I get SOOOOO IMPATIENT

 

[Smartboiiii]

what's your reason for appeal?

Depends on my hast.. if I get top 25% or better I’m gonna appeal to Sydney tech cause I got rejected for choosing it as a 3rd pref and they give bias to people who select it first (allegedly)

Okay that’s actually pretty good. Usually selective schools don’t care about your school’s ranking unless the school you’re applying for is something prestigious like James ruse. Year 10 has a lot more open positions so I assume they accept around 50 kids for interviews and roughly 30 get in. They could ask questions like “Why do you think you belong here” or “How do you follow our school’s beliefs”. Just something like that. Practice with a friend and try to gain that confidence. Also, if you don’t mind me asking, what were your overall hast results?

Well, it's not really an interview, all the applicants are placed together and gave a quick run down abt the school. After that there are like 5 teachers (including principle), who will basically tell u what electives u got based on your selections.

Depending on the teacher, some may ask you about your report or etc, and others don't really care and hand you the enrollment form and stuff like that.

SO basically u got in, nothing to worry abt, some teachers may check ur report and ask like a few questions but its entirely up to them, just dont say anything stupid.

Good job in getting in mate

So all the kids who are attending, got into girra, but once u come here u better uphold the girra culture

Wait, if I don’t make it imma try out again in y10 but like do they make a new class for all the transfers in y10 and THEY choose your electives or do you get to? Also would u still be able to try out for accelerated courses

 

[Smartboiiii]

Because in my application I put a bunch of random electives
