Excellently said Sophie! A bit short though. I'm sure your brevity is designed to amplify its effect.

i got place in goldstien.

But i'm prolly still gonna apply for shalom, looks so new!!!!

 

[Lexicographer]

I keep putting off sending in my application, should probably do that NOW...

Nah, Metroid Prime first.

 

[jm1234567890]

i think mine was an early offer.

The main round for Kensington is in january.

I presume this is similar to other colleges.

really? Why am i going for a baxter interview then? I must be a dud applicant and they are wary of me!

I'm going for a new college interview as well.

Which college would you pck if you got into both?

 

[jm1234567890]

I don't know

i suppose, time will tell

still have 1-2 months to choose

 

[Daedalus]

well i know i have to accept it, there is nothign i cna do since someone else controls the colleges

it still doesnt make it fair

 

[Daedalus]

is shalom better than kensington? if i get into kensington is there a point in applying for shalom?

EDIT: also, is it very hard to get into shalom?

 

[Lexicographer]

According to the tour guy I spoke to Shalom is more difficult to get in to because it is rather small.

So yeah I had my New and Baxter interviews this week. i don' think i said anything totally terrible but i won't know how i went for a while. Has anyone else had any interviews yet?

 

[Lexicographer]

I have still not sent in my apps

If you're ok with telling us, what kind of questions were asked?

 

[s2ophie]

The questions were mostly extended versions of the questions on the applications. Interests, what you are passionate about, how do you think you would fit in, etc. Nothing really out of the ordinary. And I would apply quick smart if I was you. For example at Baxter college there is only 88 places for 1st year students this year and already over 300 people have applied...

i booked new college one on same day as Co-op interview, ie 4th dec

 

[s2ophie]

Most UNSW colleges interview november/december. That coincides with all the scholarship closing dates and also allows you to be finished year 12 and have a full academic record to show.

 

[Daedalus]

yah got in without needing interview in goldstein

 

[s2ophie]

I found out today that i was offered a place at New. Yay! NOw i want to hear from baxter!

 

[Lexicographer]

Congratulations!

I'm sending email to Shalom and John's, because I think all the mail I sent from the airport got screwed up.

 

[s2ophie]

Johns???
