Hey guys before I start let me say this:
Well Done! You have all worked so far, you have learnt A LOT from this experience that ITSELF deserves a congrats!!!
For those who got into MHS, SCHS, MacRob, or Nossal good job! Try working as hard as you are already (in case you winged and got in jk

) and you are sure to do well in school and beyond.
For those who did not get into the above schools : Do NOT worry. Now I know some of you may feel so depressed you would care not to even read this, but this is not
the end. Don't think your hardwork is a failure, on the on the other hand, think of it as a foundation and a step to success. Learning never goes to waste. I got rejected from MHS and Nossal too, and like/not like you guys, I cried for days and days. Now, I teach some of my friends (who got in) about maths and science topics (those are my strengths) via social media. Try twice as hard, and you can easily match if not overwhelm students from selective schools. Do
feel like there is no point in studying at all Get rid of your nihilism,
yes it is sad and
yes you did get rejected, but
no you are not gonna fail in VCE and
no this is not the end of the world. Think about it this way: why did you even choose to go to this particular school, and, more importantly, what can you do to cover for this?
If this does not help you at all, think like this - what can I do next? Should I apply again next year? (Here I would personally recommend trying out for a different school, like JMSS or anything else). This way you can be motivated and, with your hard work, eventually get in.
So for both parties, (those who got in and those who didn't) : good luck!
