Actually, I heard that quite a few people got in even though they had an average for a test, so you definitely still have a chance. Especially since your other scores are quite good.
But the number of people allowed to get in at your school also contributes to whether or not you have a chance.

        Nutella thank you for the help Nutella I think because I go to glen waverley secondary college I most likely won't have a chance to get in

            hochanh i reckon PD applicants are the most likely for second round offers. Regarding my PD application, I guess it doesn't matter as I got a second round offer. Good luck though, hopefully you get called for an interview!

              anyone want to make a space for people going to mhs? I saw some people make a Macrob space so maybe we could make one too? @salma_7052 great idea btw

                rekt_AN ..how did you improve like checking essays and techniques , I have a scholarship exam coming and need to work on my writing, O didn’t practiced enough before.. thanks for the recommendations.

                  rekt_AN also would be helpful how did you structure your exam essay as you received superior would help others, so far I haven’t heard anyone getting a superior in writing. Well done !

                      Cheesecake7 thanks! for persuasive, you probably know this, but the introduction is either a thesis statement, or where you list all your supporting arguments. I always chose to signpost arguments as it then lead to a cohesive piece. For narrative (and persuasive), having a large vocabulary is very important. Having knowledge of literary devices also helps.
                      Hope this helps you in any way!

                        I definitely agree Glenny is really really competitive, but I know that some people did get in with 1 or 2 superiors this year so you never know.

                        I think that some people might start declining offers once they start doing the scholars program though - which happened in previous years - and there were quite a few people who got in following rounds 🙂

                            Hi, I was wondering what the chances of me getting a late offer is!
                            Verbal: High average
                            Numerical: Superior
                            Math: Above average
                            Reading comp: Above average
                            Writing: High average
                            Im going for Nossal and out of the 9 or so spots in my school, only 3 ahve been taken.
                            Im worried since I only got one superior, and I understand if theres no chance but I still have hope left ان شاء الله

                              I’m not sure of the exact dates for the remaining rounds of offers but I think your results definitely give you a chance isa ; with others having received the offer with your results as Randomhuman24 said and the capacity at your school not having been filled yet.

                              Also keep in mind that the offers process is very convoluted and ultimately unfair to some people. It’s clear that there is a lot more to it than raw results and the 4% rule - I know others at my school who missed out with better results than mine. In case that you do miss out, the results are very likely out of your hand.

                              Good luck 🙂

                                    Hi all,
                                    My daughter had her interview at McRob for a PD today and I just want to share the questions that were asked because they might be useful for people who get an interview in later rounds.

                                    Principle and assistant principle were in the panel.

                                    The questions that were asked;

                                    Tell me about yourself.
                                    What high school are you from?
                                    How would you describe your family?
                                    Who do you look upto?
                                    What is your favourite subject? Why
                                    What is your least favourite subject? Why
                                    What do you want to be when you grow up?
                                    Why should we give you a seat in this school?
                                    Do you participate in any sport?
                                    Do you play any musical instruments?
                                    Have you been involved in leadership roles?
                                    Tell me about a time when you help someone.
                                    Tell me what was your gratest point in life.
                                    What is the book that you last read? Why? Describe some interesting facts from the book.
                                    Do you have any questions for us?

                                    They said “If your child would like to bring a portfolio of achievements etc along to share with the panel that is possible, but not essential.”
                                    My Daughter brought her portfolio and good thing is, she could share her portfolio at the end.

                                    Good luck!!
