what? you FORGOT it already? I was literally counting days! I'm not really nervous, but rather excited.
hehe that's probably cos I have a low self-esteem, just trying to manipulate it for my own wishes so that I don't feel too sad when I see my results
I apply JMSS because one of the reason is at my current school, they don't have science electives. especially when considering that it WILL effect your grades in VCE, that's not great. And being a selective entrance school, JMSS is superior than my current school in academics. I heard that these people are awesome and VCE is a piece of cake for them! they also have university extension subjects, which can be helpful for year 12s for their future. As a normal government school, I'm sure most people will go tafe instead of university. that is awful.
besides these, people at my current school have no passion in science, let go for cooperating to do science. I don't have a lot to talk about with other classmates besides academia. which makes me feeling boring!
Don't forget JMSS, if we get in, our future will be glowing bright!
Yes......
And no. Simply bcos you get into the exam, pls don't think that VCE will be a piece of cake, just bcos you have gotten into a selective school. I know plenty of people who have low ATARs in VCE and they went to selective school bcos they thought they can just slack off( not saying u will , but just trying to give u a general outline here). Ask anyone in this forum, VCE does not define the potential and background (i.e. school) of an individual,conversely the willpower and hardwork of that individual. I can even show you, while most people who had a perfect VCE last year were from Selective schools, there were still many that came from other schools as well. While it is widely known that the selective schools offer great resources and enriched learning, that is only a foundation for ATAR. Think of it like an equation :
ATAR = 10% of (Schooling) + 90% of (Individual)
[where atar is equal to 100%]
