Rejected

[humph]

How come you're so determined to do UMEP Maths? Are you going to do maths at uni?

One of my friends got 39 in Methods in yr11, probably around a low A for Gen Maths Advanced, and got into UMEP Maths. But in yr12 he only got 31 in spec and 50 (exactly!) in UMEP Maths. In the same class there was a girl from another school who got 36 (I think) in Methods in yr11 and got into UMEP Maths, but then failed miserably in yr12 (she got like 30-something).

On the other hand, there are guys like enwiabe and me who did much better than expected in UMEP Maths. So it's really hard to tell what to expect from students.

Oh and I also heard UoM is very strict and hard. No amount of "getting down on your knees begging" will make them change their minds. Is that right?

I think enwiabe did the "getting down on your knees begging" thing and it worked for him

just apply to monash they'll accept people who can "count from 1 to 12", and thats QUOTED.

Aww... *hugs dekoyl*

I didn't even get the opportunity to do an extension program because of my appalling Psychology study score. So I just focused on my subjects this year, and eventually, managed to pass everything (don't know how I passed maths :O).

I guess not getting in isn't the end of the world...

I'm determined  because I like maths. I feel comfortable doing something that I know is either right or wrong and not much in between. It looks fun and I had the idea that it could complement specialist maths. Yes I'm probably going to do something with maths by the looks of it.

Really? If so, oh boy. But still there is the difficulty of getting the signatures and recommendations. But I'll try.

True

It also helped him get into UMEP maths

Don't apologise, you can come on here and vent all you want, the newbies these days are getting more and more lippy it seems

OMG, that is so true! I've been here forever, I deserve to vent the way I do!

[ninwa]

Exactly! He's only got 2 posts, I think we know who the more valuable member is

[xox.happy1.xox]

Yay! I feel so much better now. :smitten:

[hard]

i must agree with BA22, wtf's up the newbies asses. A lot seem to think they either:

a) know everything
b) decide how people should behave
or
c) think they should equal respect as opposed to a long time contributer with quality posts.

EDIT: be have to behave

I'll paste here what I PM'ed dekoyl for people who do get rejected from UMEP. All hope is not lost!

UMEP rejected me way back in January of 2007 because my year 11 marks were terrible (I neglected all my 1+2s and concentrated solely on 3+4s done during year 11, a mistake I regret a little bit). In any case, my Methods 3+4 mark was reasonably good (44) so I wrote a letter of appeal to the dean of admissions for the extension program and my maths teacher put in a phonecall for me. Eventually, they agreed, and said it was because of my good methods mark and determination to get into the program (so really sound like you're eager about the program, but don't come across as TOO eager ).
