A post about late-round offers for Victorian Select Entry High Schools. Good luck to those who are seeking one.

Hi, does anyone know about second round offers. I didn't get in through the first rounds. Here's my results:
Verbal Reasoning - Average
Numerical Reasoning - High Average
Reading Comprehension - High Average
Mathematics - Average
Persuasive Writing - Average
Creative Writing - Average
Is it possible to get through via second round with these scores?
P.S Also signed up for equity consideration.
Just my opinion, but I don't believe so.

You did well but it is going to be extremely hard to get in, especially with those marks (no offence, please don't feel bad) best option; what I'm doing; is it try out for year 10

In all honesty, your results will probably make you an unlikely candidate for a second round offer (not to make you feel bad). If you are unfortunate enough to not get an offer though, don't be discouraged! There is always a chance to try again the next year and even the year after. Heck, I didn't make it the first time i tried even though i got superior, but i worked hard, didnt give up and got an offer the next time I sat the test. All the best, good luck and never give up!

Do you have any special talents? Also, depends on what school you go to. I know friends who didn't get a single superior and got in. Stay hopeful and work hard.

Hello excosecant,
Sorry to hear you didn’t receive a first round offer. I will be completely honest with you and say that it is unlikely you will receive a second round offer, but it really depends on what school you attend (because of the 5% rule). I received 3 superiors last year and did not receive any offers. Be prepared for the worst and continue focusing on your studies. Not attending a selective school is not the end of the world and continue working hard at your current school. There is an option to try out in year 10 for selective schools if you are still keen. Good Luck!

Did anyone get a second round offer for this years exam?
I didn't receive 2nd round but rather 3rd round as I have just received a late entrance into Suzanne Cory.
Make sure you try out next year and don't give up!

Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering if I would achieve a late offer into MHS or Nossal.
These are my results:
2 Superiors (Math and Numerical)
2 High Averages (Writing and reading)
1 Above Average ( Verbal)
Thank you for the help

Wth I got into nossal with the exact same scores as you, did you not even get a pd?
-
No I didn't even get Pd or late offers

He tried for nossal, I got into nossal but I’m not too happy, I was hoping for mhs since mhs has bene my dream since last year....

I didn’t get into any of my preferences as my school is extremely competitive-_- there’s ppl who got 5 above aves didn’t get into nossal(not even a pd!) and my friends who only got a pd for macrob, all got like 2 sup and 3 aa or 3 sup 1 aa and 1 ha as u need at least 4 sups to get straight in from my school...
I didn’t do as bad as I thought, but I think I have been restricted from receiving late offers as my school already over-reached the 5% rule; so imo, it depends a lot on how strong is ur cohort in the current school, as the higher scores that takes u to get in, the stronger ur cohort can be
Btw congrats for getting into nossal! It is still a really good school; but at the same time don’t lose ur hopes as it can still be possible to get a mhs late offer, if u school haven’t reached the 5% yet :)

Thanks and good luck to you! And btw, would you mind me asking which school was your first preference and why?

Thanks! And sure, my first pref was nossal, which used to be macrob but I changed it after I did the test(i knew that I did crap on the test, so I thought I have no chance of getting into macrob and it’s safer to just put nossal as first pref), but I didn’t get in anyways-_-
I mean personally, it’s okay to not get into a school that I’m really desire to get into, as it can gives me more opportunities to do other stuffs such as I could have more time to prepare for vce(yeah possibly I’m doing one unit 1/2 next year), while I would spend that time on traveling if I got in. So yeah undoubtedly mhs is an amazing school, but imo to do well in vce is mostly not depends on if u r going to there or not. Even I’m likely going to wrong by saying this, but I would say that nossal still have a chance for being a better school than mhs in future as really, they both awesome; but however, doing well as an individual can be more awesome :)
