it’s gonna take longer for them to go thru them considering all this lockdown stuff going on.

the interview went great as I have had experience in the past with schools like fort street last year and as I thought they were actually more nicer to people who put penrith first and they only choose the top people for people who put penrith third like the other guy(sos your user name was too long) and when my dad asked are there any specific number on the people who get selected foe each preference he said like 5 for third preference and like 5 -7 people for 2nd preference and the rest for 1st preference.

Also i asked a question out are there still more interview offers coming out to my anxious friends who are waiting for theirs and the reply was yes they are still handing out offers and it will continue until 15th sept

[wzsmartypants]

i thought an interview means that u got in. seems like thats not the case for fort street

most of the time when u get the interview ur in but there’s still a slight chance they can reject

 

[wzsmartypants]

im surprised that the selection committee actually cares about ppl's preference

ye not always the case

 

[kkk579]

im surprised that selective schools actually care about ur preference

yeahh but it makes sense tho coz the schools would want to take students who prioritise their school

 

[wzsmartypants]

ye not always the case

did u go well in that interview?

 

[kkk579]
