also idk if this will apply for everyone but i have several reasons for my passion of getting into MHS: a) i hate most kids in my year level bc of the drama and chaos that happens, also some people are very toxic and get involved in very bad and inappropriate business. b) life at my school seems a bit easy for me, like i find it easy to get 100's and that might sound good but after like 3 in a row which happened this week, it gets frustrating and i know MHS (and other sehs) will be much more difficult to receive those good marks. c)opportunities galore. d) better working environment, likemindedness and finally e) experience, maturity and growth of being autonomous with learning and other things like travel. So yeah, i rlly hope i get in and i pray i do everyday. Hope we all get in.

    YR10SEHSASPIRANT i feel like if i was to get in, it would be my english skills that would carry me bc there are more english components so if i was to be not as good at maths as english (which i am) then i would have a slight advantage over someone who struggles with english like my friend from school. Anyways i know i say this like every post but i am still doubting my abilities to get in 😢

        I wonder how they rank students for single-sex schools like Melbourne High and Mac Rob? Do they rank the students for those schools first - 300 boys for Melbourne High and 300 girls for Mac Rob and then the rest boys and girls for Suzzane and Nosal which are co-ed? I don't know, but I'm curious.

          I think the ranking is done without taking gender into account.

          Then the MHS and Mac Rob quotas are filled from the top ranked boys and girls based on first preference.

          Then the next highest ranked students are selected for the co-ed school.

              On second thought, I think ranking without distinguishing between boys and girls will be a problem. You may not get 300 boys or 300 girls for those schools if one gender dominates over the other.

                  yeah but still 3 eng ones to 2 maths but u do have a point,my current predictions are wavering: writing:hopefully sup vr:sup rc:aa-sup maths:ha nr:avg-ha

                    I know someone who got two superiors got into MHS 2 years ago.
