Don't you need five 46s or higher for the Aus student prize?That's the Premier's All Rounder award. The Aus Student Prize is based on the Aus Student Prize score (top 4 raw scores + 10% bottom 2 raw scores).
Hey guys,
Was this in a form of a letter? Or email?
Anyone knows the criteria for being invited?
Thanks! +1
Hey lzxnl,
I look similar to you :P Do you reckon I could try to pass off as you and take your spot at the government house? Plox? :D Sounds cool as, going to the government's house and stuff.
I received an invitation through the mail just today! so I'm sure people will get theres in a couple of days
I'm not too sure about criteria, but most likely its for high ATAR students
I sent in my reply form a little late, should that be fine???Yes, I just got an automated reply
Also, do you know if you get a confirmation email if you send the form via email?
Yeh, I'm kinda curious too :P
For everyone on this this thread that's invited (I'm not lol, no surprise there :))) they all have a few things in common:
1. At least one raw 50 (but there's soo many 50s eg just look at Further or English so I don't think it can be that)
2. All got above 99 ATAR (but again there'd be soo many 99+ ATARs I don't think it can be that either)
3. All did some sort of UMEP subjects getting 4.5+ (but yet quite a few in this catagory and had UMEP ceremony already)
This leads me to the conclusion.. It's for bery bery bery smart cookies :D
My guess is probs people who will get a Premiers.
^If he got 99.95 though, I'm pretty confident he would have gotten the All Round Excellence award.
Edit: FWIW, I haven't gotten an invite, unless the mail took a while to get here (regional), in which case I'm checking the PO box today.
I have two friends who got 99.95 and would not qualify for the All Round Excellence award. I also know people who didn't get 99.95 but got All Rounders.Yeah, I've known plenty of the latter but I guess I didn't really think too hard about the mathematics of the former. Four ~50s in your primary scores with Spec or LOTE and you're pretty much set, regardless of your 10% scores. Point taken.

Er... I got an invite and do not fulfil any of the aforesaid. But maybe I am just a sympathy invite - whoo, free and undeserved food!
Oh, and what would be a 'day dress' appropriate for the event?
Very confusing! I didn't get one and I had 50,50,49,47,44,44. Mind you, one of those 50's was from last year. All my subjects were science or LOTE.Didn't get one either, #madinvite Governor!
My friend got one with 50,49,47,40, and two <40's. Pretty much all in humanities subjects.
On a side note, who invites you to an event without telling you what the event actually is? So presumptuous lol.

I didn't get one either, but I'm not surprised since I have essentially the lowest aggregate for 99.90.
Anyone else find it weird that even though it is for Australia Day, the date on the invitation said the 22nd of January? So this Wednesday. I hope that this isn't a typo because I don't really want to turn up to an empty place and confused receptionist.
does anyone know how many will be there? will all those attending be recent VCE graduates?
