I'm very interested to see the overlap between IMO/IPhO/IChO/IBO contestants and the state rankers in their respective HSC equivalents. For the past two years, the MX2 firsts were both IMO people. I wonder if the trend will continue...
We were contacted a few days ago, and told to keep it confidential until the ceremony (which is why this is an anonymous account).
EDIT: for all I know, people are still being contacted. I got an email and a phone call.
I came first in state in a moderately competitive subject this year. My school is low-ranked and my trial/assessment results in the subject were all mediocre. The school you go to doesn't really affect your chances IMO.
