'Sydney Scholars' scholarship (2 Viewers)

[NotCricket]

Anyone else got a conditional offer?

 

[photastic]

Got a reserve which is pretty much the nicest way of rejection.

 

[Flop21]

How do you get this?

 

[baci]

also got reserve.. not sure if everyone gets that or select number

 

[alex4nder]

I also received a reserve offer - is this what everyone who doesn't receive a conditional offer gets?

I'm secretly hoping that heaps of conditional offer people don't get the 95 minimum ATAR so hopefully I can take their place hahaha

Does this mean if I change USYD med as my #1 preference, I would receive an offer even though my ATAR is not high enough? :O
(I also emailed them, but anyone can shed some light on this anyway?)

^^^ I don't have an answer to your question but holy fuck CONGRATULATIONS. Knowing that you got such an incredible ATAR, from a school ranked outside of the 300s made me feel so so so so happy for you.

I'm pretty sure they're quite strict on the 99.95...but if you do receive an email can you update us on that?
Would anyone know how competitive the USYD med interviews (guaranteed entry) are?

 

[madijd]

Is this for the 95+ one? I got reserve too

 

[baci]

Does anyone know if all the offers have been made for Sydney Scholars Program? Or is there still a chance if you were put on the reserve list?

 

[tyzzefloro]

I think its highly unlikely that people will get calls.

 

[tyzzefloro]

Also I hate the scholarship application at usyd it is so limited.

 

[pineapplewarrior]

how many people get this scholarship?

 

[Nukeboy]

I imagine at this point, people will get calls only if the scholarship was rejected by the students who have already been offered it.

 

[Nukeboy]

I have actually been lucky enough to be awarded this scholarship. But I really want to do a co-op.
If I get into a co-op, I'll be rejecting this and so one of you may very well get it
And I'm sure there'll be others in my position as well so don't give up hope.

[eternity0509]

I was offered this scholarship as well I've applied to the SCA so hopefully my portfolio and applicant statement were good enough for me to get in.

 

[pineapplewarrior]
