Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (8 Viewers)

[Shinji bikari]

Nah maybe next week monday

Bruh but why would they send it in two goes it probably means we’re all rejected if we get it on Monday but can’t be helped ig.

 

[Shinji bikari]

Bruh honestly if fort is biasing students based on whether they have musical talent or not that’s actually dumb like you aren’t a music school you’re a selective school the whole point is the academics

it’s not just that, if u hv a lot of musical talent but do shit in ur academics and on the test then they won’t accept you where as if you do quite decently for the test n at school as well as hv extra curricular to back it up then you’re in good hands. It’s all abt balance

 

[Shinji bikari]

Starting to regret my life decisions now I should’ve worked harder

Yeah i know but they’re putting significant bias on those who have musical talent which is unfair - it’s not even a music school which doesn’t make sense

Yeah ig, some schools just like to take the “not everything is solely on academics, we like to see more” approach

And be fr a lot of the selective schools say they care about extra curriculars but rlly don’t - the whole point of a selective school is academics and they only say that do they don’t look like a factory that’s producing students to go to the top unis and enter the top degrees. I swear fort st is the one of the very few that actually takes into acc the extracurriculars.

And it’s ironic cos they’re a selective school and whatever they do they can’t get rid of that “study machine” stereotype so atp just pick students on academic ability.

But obviously if ppl who get in are rlly rlly smart and have musical talent then that’s fair but if someone who’s like kinda smart but not extremely and has a shit ton of extracurriculars gets in over someone that’s rlly rlly smart with no extracurriculars then that’s honestly Because honestly we all know selective schools just want to improve their rank and extracurriculars aren’t gonna do that for them so what’s the point

That is actually so so true, bc ultimately it comes down to ur academics in the hsc and whether u do well enough as a cohort to maintain the schools ranking n shit like unis do recognise musical talent if u do AMEB from grade 8 and above but otherwise it’s all down to ur academics

 

[Shinji bikari]

anyways guys im trying to do my dr du but im procrastinating bc this is my new form of social media since I deleted Instagram

and like also most ppl that I know of who attend selective schools don’t pursue music as a career so as far as ik musical talent n extra curricular isnt rlly necessary

Girraween has sent out letters via post today. Earliest you can receive is tomorrow. But definitely keep an eye on your letter boxes early next week.

[Sir Jigger II]

What if you girraween as 2nd or 3rd, will rejection letter come out then as well

 

[watermelon00F]

i'm not sure (a guess) but i'd say no and that your first preference school would accept/reject you and if you receive nothing from pref 2 it means you've been rejected

i'm not 100% on this though i'd think this is what happens

 

[Sir Jigger II]

I still have not received anything

 

[eternallyboreduser]

I still have not received anything
