Good Luck email (1 Viewer)

Did anyone else just recieve a good luck email from Sydney Uni?

"Dear Ashlee,

Sydney University wishes you the very best of luck in your HSC. "

Awwww I feel special!

 

[Winston]

how come you got one? lol

awwww i feel excluded

did you put ur name down for information for a course?

 

[mememe]

hehe yeah i got one, ahhh they're so thoughtful aren't they!

 

[Rahul]

maybe the enrichment days?

 

[timmii]

hehe i remember i was the only one of a whole group of my friends who went on the same enrichment day, to not get one. Felt rather upset about that. Ironically enough, was the only one who actually ended up at usyd. At a later stage someone from usyd asked me if i got the card...said their database must have stuffed up if i didnt. Don't fuss too much.

here's an additional "good luck" just in case

Argh so soon...but it'll be over and it'll be *more* than good enjoy it

 

[Frigid]

i think its also if you registered with usyd for scholarships too... coz i dun remember giving my email to them any other time...

oh and timmii, you shoulda read my personal statement for scholarship - so sycophantic!

 

[deyveed]

Could they have gotten our email addresses from that survey on P plate drivers?

 

[braindrainedAsh]

It can't be the enrichment day, I've never been there in my life. Perhaps it was the scholarships form? Or maybe they got our emails from UAC??

Haha my personal statement was well...lol so funny what i ended up saying. Hmmm dont think it was too good though. My scholarship thankfully didnt rely on the personal statement!

"Every morning, as the train pulls into Central railway station, I see two universities: UTS, towering in its form, and, further along Parramatta Road, the sandstone citadel that is the University of Sydney. Your goals should be out of reach, but not out of sight, Anita DeFrantz, the first female vice-president of the International Olympic Committee, once said. To me, such a view is a visual metaphor for the choices I have to make in the next few months: to choose the universities whose UAI cut-offs I can easily achieve, or the University of Sydney, elusive, alluring, within sight, yet uncertain whether within grasp...

...My first contact with the University of Sydney was a year ago, when Ms. Penny Buchanan of the Science Faculty organised last years Student Shadow Scheme, and I had the privilege to attend. The first impression that your University made on me was quite overwhelming, much like the awe of a primary school student who has come to a high school for the first time: for three days, I gazed with wonder at the vast old-school architecture of the Main Building and Quadrangle and soaked up the warmth-and-fuzziness of the university atmosphere. In the end, I knew where I wanted to go.

Over the past year, I have spent more time at Sydney University: the Latin Reading Competition (and subsequent tour of the Nicholson Museum), the Ninth Latin Summer School (held in the Education Building), the Fisher Library (for research for Extension Two English major work research) and Talented Mathematics Students Day are a few examples...

...What I am writing seems to be more about my wanting to go to your great university, my wanting for a great law degree and my wanting to become a successful future barrister or senior law partner, rather than a want for any scholarship; which is true, a scholarship is not the Holy Grail that I seek; for me, meeting the UAI cut-off for Combined Law will be difficult enough. Even if I am not granted a scholarship from the University of Sydney, in my mind, I would have realised my dreams, if you see me in Law at your University next year. Thank you.

a little verbose perhaps?
edit: added more of it for winston.

[braindrainedAsh]

Seriously, that was your personal statement? Mine was all about how visiting Vietnam made me desire a career in the media in order to expose truths in our society *cough* *frontline* *cough* plus stuff about me being good and all lol

 

[Frigid]
