It's Ok If You Didn't Get An Offer (My Story)

[THEBEAST]

Hey guys, so with offers rolling out slowly i know how devastating it can be to be told U didn't get in. So I thought I would share my story and advice that I wish I was told at the time and maybe help even 1 person feel better. Plus ATAR notes helped me so much in VCE I think it's only fair to contribute back.
 
So going back many many years ago, I always knew I wanted to go Melbourne High. I studied heaps for it and did all the classes and everything I didn't even think about the possibility of not getting in.. So results come out and I realise I had gotten a Principals discretion. (Even tho I got 4 superiors but I came from a competitive school) So not the best case but I had something to work with. So I wrote my application and passed that stage, got invited for an interview and thought I did pretty well in that. So couple of weeks later before going to school I check the mailbox and there's a letter saying I hadn't gotten in.

I was crushed I even burst out in tears at school that day in the middle of class in front of everyone. I was devastated and I just started hating everything including going to school.

So after a while I made it my mission to get into jmss the next year and used all the anger i had to study for the jmss test and I ended up getting in!

And now honestly looking back, not getting into MHS was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was able to achieve so much more than I think I would have at MHS aswell as meeting incredible people at jmss. I scored higher in VCE than all my friends who went MHS and I got into medicine.  (don't get me wrong MHS is still an amazing school i just realised it wasn't for me)

So what I'm trying to say is that this is just 1 step on a long journey. As long as U achieve ur end goal it doesn't matter what path U took to get there. You guys are all still so young this should not be you be all or end all. Use the anger and frustration U guys have now to drive you to do better in the future and someday U may be like me looking back and realising it was the best thing to happen to you.
