[Mind-Revolution]

nope.

I don't care about competition. It's just me and the subject. I try my best and get the mark that I want. And that's the deal.

thansk mind-revolution.

but no congratulation for future cosmologists?

Definitely. Congratulations to all future Cosmologists as well.

Especially cause me and that subject would = fail.

Haha, Philosophy was my nicer option.

Hi guys, i just found this thread, I probably should looked for it a bit earlier but oh well. I'll just add that none of us Smith's Hillians have gotten the call yet.


Which forms? I remember reading that somewhere but now I can't find it...

Also, Elisa.the.Sweda? Are you the Jessica that we met and helped find the lecture theatre? Just wondering

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/distinction-course-application-2009.pdf - the application form.

On the second page of that PDF it states 'FOR CONTACT (on 17 or 18 December 2008) FOLLOWING SELECTION'

Nope

It's before Christmas.

 

[wendybird]

Christine (BOS director who gave the call) told me that for Philosophy, materials arrive early January.

I believe that Cosmology begins slightly earlier, hence your package might arrive before before Christmas, but Philosophers get it in January.

 

[Timothy.Siu]

yeah, they told me it shud arrive b4 christmas

 

[lyounamu]

oh no! so those people are right! we DO GET more work!!!

Congratulations everyone I also got into Cosmology, got the call at 11am yesterday, didn't recognise the number and freaked out because i thought it must be board of studies!!

Anyway yes congrats.

Had one quick question. Do the packages have to be picked up from a post office, or is it the type of mail that gets left at your doorstep??
