Chance of Chancellor's Scholars with a 99.85

[MnB]

Title says it all, does anybody know if I have a shot? I got 99.85, aggregate 207.6, which I think was close to a 99.9

Also, I'm interested in Commerce, and I received 50s in the two Commerce subjects that I completed if that makes a difference

You wont get it unfortunately. It is a HARD hurdle and is not based on supply and demand. My mate got the same score back in 2010 - wasnt offered a place.

You may want to have a look at the Copland Scholars Program if you haven't already.

Just letting you know that the university is expecting to lose as much as one third of the recipients to Monash University this year, so you may be in with a shot since it is "subject to availability". It depends on if they meet their quotas.

Thanks for that advice. Would you have any idea on when I would find this out by? I'm going to call tomorrow.

Also, if I have Chancellor's Scholars at number 2 preference, will this make a difference? (Comm/Law at Monash is number 1)

I wouldn't know. I only found this out because I spoke to the person in charge of the scholarships department on Monday (yes it's important to network properly ).
