Hi
just wanted to know yours was straight third round offer in MAC Rob or it was principal discretion.
From your experience how much are the chances of getting a first preference i.e. Melbourne High in second round as my brother has received second preference as SCHS in first round.

Thanks

apenguinstudies hi, can you share me some of your experience from last year.
So my son got offer from Suzanne Cory ( his second preference), today Suzanne Cory sent out the enrollment form( it will expire on 28th August). If in the case my son got offer from his first preference ( like your case ) at third round or got an PD later and we already done the enrollment with Suzanne Cory , can we withdraw from Suzanne Cory at that time or not?
Thanks ! 🙏

hey i just have a question
even if no one from your school declines is there a chance i can still get second round offer to the skl i want??

If the 4% quota has already been filled and nobody declines, then unfortunately no. But if it hasn't been filled yet then yes
Good luck!

im not sure if this is true but i heard from my friend that around 1000 spots are available across all schools but only about 700 have been filled? but it might not be true

Im not entirely sure but I think all spots are given out on the first round and if ppl decline then there'll be vacant spots. But if hypothetically nobody declines then there won't be a second round. But some spots would be saved for principal discretion and stuff

DarkPhantomA

so there wont be second round at all if no one declines????

Nutella

DarkPhantomA
Nonono that won't happen I mean like if hypotheticallt everyone who got an offer accepts then there'll be no more spots to fill yk but don't take my word for it I might be wrong.
But there's definitely gonna be a second round cause there'll definitely be ppl who declines
Sorry that was really confusing 😭

DarkPhantomA

Nutella
nah thank youu for explainingg
so it turns out last yr 9 ppl from my skl got in but this yr for round one only 7 offers were given out and ik all of the ppl and they all said they would accept so my only hope is that there will be 2 more offers given out in round 2
did u try out for selective this yr?

Nutella

DarkPhantomA
Ahhh good luck 🤞🤞🤞
Do u know how many ppl there are total in ur year level?
I got into macrob last year (In year 9 this year)

DarkPhantomA

i js calculated it and only 7 ppl could possibly be allowed in this year
there are 179 ppl this yr so the avg is 7.16😭😭
i hope they round up
but i dont think they will
