Guys have hurlstone offers been sent out
Do you know when was the deadline for shortlisted students to lodge application? I applied for y8 and the deadline not due yet. If they has same deadline as for y8, how come the results are out before due date.Nsb offers are out for Y11 Entry
It works differently for yr 11 entry. I was shortlisted last year for nsb but due to lack of positions, deadlines and allat are usually set for later. Last year it was around 28th September when I got the shortlisted email. Not exactly sure when the deadline is
Did you get offer this year? How long did it take for sending offer after shortlisted due dat?

hi guys so I need advice (desperately, would greatly appreciate)
I got the ruse offer for Year 11 entry, and I am currently in a top private girls school. I would say I'm rank 30-40, which is not great, considering I want to do like a high atar degree course thing (aka 99.5+), and from past results, it has always been only top 10 get 99+. I don't think I can do THAT well in my current school to get the atar I want, to that extent, because there are a lot of smart people in my school (like pretty much ruse level). I think at my current level, I cannot get like top 10, no matter what. I also do have a lot of friendship problems in my current school, that makes me really really hate my group as a whole (I still like some individual people, but everyone else just does not care/like me). I have like 2-3 friends in ruse, not saying that I'm set for like the 2 remaining years, but it's always nice to get a new start. I am considering that everyone in ruse is smart, but I think it does provide me with a push I need to get motivated. It's also a lot closer to home. I was also planning to do chinese as a subject, which ruse does not offer, meaning I have to do saturday school which takes time away, but also they don't count it in their units, so I basically have to do extra subjects. Another thing to consider is that I have a leadership role for next year in my current school, and if I leave, I won't have it anymore. So is it worth it to leave or not?

my mum is in a discussion forum with other random parents and apparently they got offers or smt
Yeah I was offered yesterday, about 10 days after shortlist due date
Congratulations. Can I ask how many superios you had? What is the process after getting shortlisted? They called you for interview or just emailed you the offer straight away? Do they offer based on the results first? If tie they will look at extra curricular? Example 5 kids have 5 super but super means 11%, one may be in 1%, other may be 2,5 or 10%. Would the one at 1% get offered first?
I had 3 superiors and 2 above averages. After being shortlisted you normally have to submit an application containing academic achievements and extracurriculars. They then evaluate the applications and if there’s positions you may be offered and if not, reserve list. There was no interview, since I applied for y11 entry I had to do the year 10 science yearly and that influenced whether I got into any science courses at the school. I don’t know if the exam actually influenced them to pick me. Since you are not applying for y11 entry I doubt you’d have to do any additional exams so you’d most likely get the offer next after submitting the application. Nsb is quite nice as if you do well in the edutest you’ll have a very high chance of making it in. They definitely look at extra curriculars hence why you send them an application. It depends on whether you’re still well rounded, if someone got 5 superiors but had no extra curriculars but someone got 4 superiors and had decent extra curriculars, I think they’d be more inclined to pick the person who got 4 superiors first. Hope that answers everything lmao
Thank you for the insights. I have 4 superiors and extra curricular not too bad, I had a few HD, D and prizes for competitions during year 5-7 not only academically but like stem. I submitted profile in shortlisted portal but the said currently no spot available for y8 entry. So heartbreaking
