ig u would have between an 8 and 10% chance of getting in just numbers wise

Hi Vi, I need your help for Principal's discretionary category. I have participated in many events such as Science Talent Search, Australian Maths Competition and Premier's Reading Challenge. I also have a couple of certificates for academic progress at my current school and a batting award from my cricket club. Do you think that these are enough to make MHS through principal's discretion? Thanks Vansh
Response: I can't say whether the above mentioned events would get you through MHS as that's something for the principal to decide. What I can say is my own view and something like the Premier's Reading Challenge is usually open to many applicants so it's less likely to be impressive. For the Australian Maths Competition - did you achieve the highest award or a notable award? The key here is to be selective with what you decide to include. Awards at a national level are impressive e.g. national swimming, competing in sports at a national or state level and getting to the finals or winning. A batting award from your cricket club would also be quite interesting but again, it depends on how you phrase it in your response.

Like this is why i was asking abt what were ur key points about urself, if i remember correctly u said u did like 4 years of piano lessons, correct me if i am wrong, but like yea the time and length is cool but what level are you at, where has that experience taken you? Same with swimming, i had done swimming for like 6 years just in the last year i did some comps and won a few medals but this was at a low level not national per say. Similarly i think u said u won a medal for cricket, which again is great and all, but anyone can do that if they were at a low level (u mightnot have been but for arguments sake). You have pretty much got to be unique in some way, that is what they want, like I'm sure heaps of those kids were rlly good at maths and also got distinctions, but if heaps of kids got it, that makes it less of an impressive achievement if u get what i mean. But i g i cant rlly say anything so ig we find out friday.

MMHS It sounds like the first "M" in "MMHS" is likely a motivational or aspirational word that reflects striving or aiming for Melbourne High School (MHS). Given that context, possible words that could fit the acronym might include:

-Motivation (Motivation Melbourne High School): Reflecting a drive or ambition to succeed at MHS.
-Mastery (Mastery Melbourne High School): Emphasizing achieving excellence or skill.
-Momentum (Momentum Melbourne High School): Highlighting ongoing effort and progress toward success at MHS.
-Merit (Merit Melbourne High School): Emphasizing the achievement or qualifications needed to gain entry.
-Mindset (Mindset Melbourne High School): Referring to having the right attitude or mentality to succeed in the admission process.
Motivation (Motivation Melbourne High School): Describing the drive and effort to be admitted.
Given the context of striving, "Motivation" seems like a strong candidate, as it closely aligns with the idea of working toward a goal at MHS.
