Cheesecake7 don't worry, there's still the rest of the day and the last 2 rounds. I'm checking my inbox from time to time as well.
2022 Victorian Selective Entry Test Results
Hi all,
Just wanted to ask: What is the necessary prerequisite knowledge for Nossal’s intermediate Japanese class? Is there anything in particular they expect us to know?
- Edited
Does anyone know when the next dates for the rounds are? If so when, and where can I find this information? Furthermore, does anyone know if all of Nossal's spots are taken, and if not, will we be notified if it is?
Thanks.
ILikeBooks Only the dates for the first 3 rounds were told. They just briefly mentioned that there were going to be 5 rounds.

people who got into mhs, is anyone doing airforce cadets?
Are all of nossals places taken? 
rekt_AN Are you planning on doing it? If you do, you'll gain leadership skills, field skills, aviation skills and will be able to experience military life. I'd highly recommend it
somebody8442 yeah, i'm doing it
Okay, so my friend and I are somewhat confused. Despite having decent test scores, he was not accepted to Nossal. He believes that the selective entry school may have mistakenly issued a rejection email for one intended to be an acceptance. I doubt it because it is a really professional process, and I don't believe they would make such an error, but is it really possible for a selective school to send the incorrect email?

Hi, there is 4% cap at each school. If your friends school has exceeded this cap, he will miss out. I heard some students have 5 superiors still missed out due to the cap. Hope this helps. The bigger the school, the more students will get in. Some big schools like my friend, every year has 10-15 kids get in the selective schools.

The 4% cap is there for a reason. Say for example, Glen Waverley and Box Hill school, every year I heard they have hundreds of students sitting for the selective schools. Most of these students are quite smart. If there are no cap at these school, I am sure they will take out most of the places in selective school. But the problem with these school, I am sure there are many students will get 5 superiors in the exams. Say around 30-40 students got 5 superiors out of 150 students, only 20+ will get the offer for a place in the selective school. Its a harsh reality, I think the best way its to go for a big school and less competitive one.
Why does he think it should be an acceptance letter? Was he being told about this? Or he thinks he should get accepted? I am sure there are other students think they should get an acceptance email too. Sorry I didnt understand your question. Best way is to email Nossal school to ask about this. Good luck.
Book I don't think that's possible. As you said before, they are extremely professional, and it would've been double checked by multiple teachers and computers before the offers were sent.
And what TryYourBest said before also plays a huge part cause if the 4% capacity has already been filled in your school, no matter how good your friend got, he wouldn't have been able to get in.

I don't want to say it's impossible for them to accidentally send a rejection letter but it's extremely unlikely. The emails are most likely checked many times and rejection and acceptance letters are sent out at different times so they can't accidentally be swapped in and out. Unless your friend had extremely high scores like 4-5 superiors, then I doubt he was accidentally sent a rejection email. Like there was someone that didn't get in despite them having 4 superiors and 1 high average so your friend was probably actually rejected.
Yea, that's what I thought.
The reason he thought this was because someone with lower scores got accepted but he didn't. They are in the same class as him.
If the other student got into Nossal and has lower scores than the friend, I think your friend should write to question. But if the other student got accepted into Melbourne High, then this might sounds right because Nossal only accepts 200 students whereas Melbourne High accepts 300, its more competitive to get into Nossal I am afraid. Hope this helps.

Yeah gender could play a role for Nossal because they usually try to make the amount of boys and girls even. And also if the friend is under Equity Consideration or they rank higher than him in class. If they're male, not under Equity Consideration and rank lower than him then I really have no idea why he didn't get in but his friend did.
Yes the gender plays a part too. For example JMSS such a great school, have one of the hardest selection process, will accept 100 girls and 100 boys, because its a math, science and technology specialist school I believe more boys are being rejected (more interest from this gender). The boys have to compete more.
