Nutella

Ommahp Wait really?? Only 5-10??

It's just a guess but I'd assume it would be around those numbers for the third round. Like most people would accept their offers and roughly 200 people get first round offers. I think only about 30 people would get second round offers, especially for Macrob and Melbourne High. Nossal and Suzanne Cory might be different since most people put Macrob and Melborune High as their first preference.

katie Wow, congrats! Did your parents make you do it then? I know loads of people who only did it cause of pressure from family and friends.

katie

Nutella thank you! no, I wanted to do it myself. It's because I thought this school I am currently in was too easy for me, so I decided to try out for it. But then I forgot about it over time and I didn't realise you needed to practise for the exam lol

I got into Nossal High School with not that great scores honestly, I only got 1 superior but I didn't get any averages. I was surprised I got in at all but very happy.

katie

Ommahp that's amazing, congrats!! I wanted to get into Nossal too. good job 😄

Ommahp This could definitely vary due to outside factors between schools, though, such as academic interest or distance from the actual school. I think it’s hard to give an exact estimate for any offers handed out in subsequent rounds.

katie
Considering your scores it doesn't look like you needed to practise at all.

Is Principal's Discretion not for those who missed a place because of the 4% rule?
From mhs website: 'At Melbourne High School 15 places are reserved for entry via the Principal’s Discretionary Category. Applicants who missed a place because of the 4% rule will be invited by the School to apply for one of these places. The Principal’s Discretionary Category can only be applied when the quota from any one source school has not been reached.'

Now that's just confusing to me. The part that says 'the Principal's Discretionary Category can only be applied when the quota from any one source school has not been reached' means that PD only applies for students from a school that hasn't reached the 4% mark, but that completely contradicts their previous statement.

You’re right, one of the selection categories for PD is those who missed out because of 4%. That’s why that constraint doesn’t apply to PD.

Nutella

Ommahp Maybe the quota is 5%? I saw something in the Selective exam handbook thing and it said that for PD, it's 5% not 4.

In Info Pack 2023 (page 9) it is clearly stated that, if 4% from a school is filled up..there will be no PD offer...

An illustrative example of the quota process is offered below. At ABC High School, the maximum

number of standard offers that can be made is 4 based on 100 students enrolled at Year 8. The
Principal Discretion Category cannot be used as the Year 8 quota for this school has been
reached. However, offers can be made under the Equity Consideration category to eligible
students as this category is not subject to the quota policy.

hochanh

IZM Correct. Lots of mis-information in many previous posts. My advice is to always refer to the Information Pack by DET for the current year as it does change. This year it is 4% (in the last few years it was 5%, many years ago it was 3%). Page 9 of the Info Pack has clear information about this rule.

My understanding is the PD process has been completed for most schools with school Welcome Day/Info Evening for new students happening this week. So only a couple of late offer rounds for this year.

katie damn my friend got in mhs with 3 sups 2 highs

katie

Train ur friend is lucky..

2 ppl got in from my class, and one of them is a new student last yr. if he didn't come, i wouldve gotten in. like why would you come to my school if you were gonna leave anyways!?!? I will never stop hating him for stealing my spot.

Train

katie do you go to a competative school? thats probs why you didnt get in. but my school was very competetive as well (around 300)

Nutella

katie He most likely didn't know he would get in. And your scores were like amazing, what did the other two people have to get to get in??

salma_7052

katie

I know that some people deliberately switch to less competitive schools shortly before the test as it makes it much easier for them to get in than at their normal school. That might have been the case with your classmate.

katie

Train i wouldnt say its a competitive school, just a small one, only 52 students in my grade. Like those two boys are the only ones smarter than me.

Train

oops spelt competitive wrong

katie

Nutella I'm not sure what they got, I might have to ask them sometime

Nutella

katie Only 52, that is so small. Which school do you go to?

katie
