whts the point of writing to people about their supposedly distinguished results if you're not going to invite them to whatever the 10.30 thingy is!!

I got that just now haha. and outta curiosity, how the hell did my "truly outstanding result" contribute to my "community"?

 

[Toodulu]

it doesn't, they're just pulling whatever they can out of their arses to suck up to you without having to invite you to the 10.30 thingy!
so yeah, usyd wins! for having a talented students afternoon tea and a high achieving aka "not as talented" brekkie

 

[rukawasan]

lol... i just got the unsw invit... but no 1030 thingy... is that for those .95/100s?

you know i think by the end of first year you will be so sick of sausages that u will never want to see another one in your entire life.

 

[nerdd]

so not EVERYONE got invited to the breakfast and afternoon tea?
ooh i feel special now... (got invited to the breakfast lol)
why not the afternoon tea? why am i not talented enough?
grr.

so is it like 90+s or 95+ers for the breakfast and like 99-100 for the afternoon tea?

 

[spin spin sugar]

well i got 99+ and i only got invited to the breakfast.,... maybe the afternoon tea is for 99.95 & 100's

 

[scandal]

I got invited to the afternoon one not the morning one at usyd - i recon it will be like the morning tea they had on the last open day for talented students - did anyone go to that one?

 

[nerdd]

hrm. unsw has the nicer brochure (praises to the marketing / public relations director).
and their sausage sizzles are yum.
but i haven't really explored sydney.
decision settled. i'm going to both!

 

[Nick]

why are the uni's so desperate to get people with .95, 100 etc to come to them.. its not like sydney/unsw need to beg people to come do their courses..

 

[spin spin sugar]

no, we're pretty much indoctrinated from an early age that usyd is the way to go... unsw the only alternative option

 

[KeypadSDM]

There's an alternative?

What freaky ass neighbourhood did you grow up in?

Well then, if the coffee isn't enough, how about the free breakfast. I'm sure you'll need that if you wake up late

 

[CHUDYMASTER]

Hmm, I'll go to kill time before the main round offers - most of my friends are also going anyways.

I got invited to the breakfast and the afternoon tea and I didn't get 99-100. Therefore, I'm guessing there's only one category for high-achievers and that's 98-100??

Hmm.. I asked Kate, the marketing manager when I confirmed my RSVP and she said the only reason it's held twice for us is because they're aware that students have other open days to go to that day so they're giving the option.

If anyone else calls to RSVP, please ask what the diff is and post what she says up here.

I originally decided on the afternoon tea (because morning was wayyy too early!) but my friend and I have decided to go in the morning (which means an early wake-up and long travel to the city).

Look forward to chatting to BOSers!

yet spin spin didn't get an invite with 99+. it may have something to do with what position you put syd on your uac prefs? i and the usyd letter actually said "thank you for considering usyd on your prefs"

Yeah, I think that would definitely be a factor.

 

[fitz33]
