Just wanted to see who didn't get in
-
Slim but existent. PD, Second and Third Round Offers exist. I got PD when all my hopes were lost and I never wanted to wake up and get out of bed again. I was crushed. Now I am on the brim with stress, but it gives me something to work for.
-
When do you think any of those miracles will occur?
If you haven’t gotten a PD by now, well I would have to say I don’t think you will be getting one at all. Second Round Offers are next week - the week after that. Third Round Offers are anytime after that till November. Stay hopeful. And then there’s JMSS, EBSS or Year 10/11 Entry for these schools.

how did you get a PD after getting rejected

how did you get a PD after getting rejected
I got rejected on Wednesday night at about 10pm, not going to lie, I cried for hours. I need(ed) a fresh start, and I thought MGHS could be that for me. The next morning I was at school and received a phone call from my dad (8:30am) he had just gotten an email saying I had been invited to apply for a PD. I was so stoked I burst into tears and my BFF who is going to MHS was slightly crying too. Others from my school got the emails later in the day and also after school, I was the first one in my school to get a PD

do you reckon two kids from the same school will get PDs

Yes! That can certainly happen. If two kids from the same school are both amazing, and stand out from the rest of the candidates, they can both get PD’s

Just wanted to chip in my thoughts after reading comments of how people feel after being rejected by a selective school.
Firstly it's totally alright to be rejected. Your only in year 6, you've got 6 years of your schooling left to work hard. Not getting into a selective school is completely fine. I missed out by like 1 mark because I couldn't write an essay properly. There's no need to feel that upset about it =)
At the end of the day it's not the school which defines the student, but rather the student which defines the school. You can do well no matter where you go as long as you work for it.

hm I can tell you're a NSW student, the selective entry schools here in Victoria range from years 9-12. So unfortunately we're not in year 6 :)

My bad, but the same concept applies

Are second round offers subject to the 5% rule?

I have the same question lol
but I’m pretty sure?
-
So far I haven't received any emails/letters yet, justa rejection letter from about 4 days ago. I'm losing all hope ;(
Don't worry, i'm in your same situation. But I've heard that the 2nd round offers only start coming on the 15th of August (1 week after 1st round offers) as they get a clear understanding as to how many people are decline and accepting. As for PD if you didnt receive anything on august 8th your not going to get a PD.
Good luck and i really hope i can get a 2nd round, btw what school are u trying out for.

School applied: Suzanne Cory
Report:

Status:Rejected, don’t even make it to the interview.
What does it take to get in?

From what I know (my brother did shs a couple years ago and I did it this yr):
If you didn't get into mac.rob or mhs first round odds are very unlikely that you will second round
As for schs and nossal, some of my friends got in but turned it down bc it was too far, they didn't want to go etc. so i think there shd be a few ppl called back to those especially if you only missed out by a couple marks.
Also if you got good results but didn't get in you probs got cut by the 5% rule
anyway hope that was somewhat helpful :)

1st Pref: MHS
2nd Pref: SCHS
3rd Pref: Nossal High
Are second round offers only for 2nd and 3rd preferences?
And PD's are only for 1st preferences?
Tbh I kinda didn’t wanna get in cause I loved my school(it’s shit tho) but I got in SCHS which was my first preference. One of my friends gave the test last year, didn’t get in, got no PD and got a late offer 2 months later, so there’s always hope. Good luck:)

Woah! You must have studied hard! how's MHS going for you? (I got into macrob this year and I'm kinda excited to see how I did)
Pretty good
-
I really hope i get a 2nd round offer for nossal, i'm pretty sure they come out tomorrow or next week Thursday. So if anyone does get 2nd round offers please tell each-other in this forum.

Bro like I got a first round for nossal and I don’t rlly care coz it’s not a top school. Who cares if u don’t get nossal, I didn’t get mhs (but I got a pd) which is like the best school in vic. that’s something to be sad about.
-
You guys are mixing everything up. Synx did the select entry test for yr 9 and the jmss test. But as for qwerty, he did the yr 8 select entry (I think.)
-
The results of SCHS was already out. Before 12th August.??? I wasn’t even at Australia for year 8
Exactly, I never said that you did it for yr 8, only for yr 9.
-
I haven't gotten anything yet. I'm in total despair

If you haven’t gotten a PD by now, well I would have to say I don’t think you will be getting one at all. Second Round Offers are next week - the week after that. Third Round Offers are anytime after that till November. Stay hopeful. And then there’s JMSS, EBSS or Year 10/11 Entry for these schools.
Hey, dumb question but what is a PD?
-
principal's discretion
-
Got 2 superiors 1 above and 2 highs and got rejected by nossal, suzanne cory and Mhs. I am now studying for JMSS.

Thanks hopefully you get into the school you want to go to.
