I don't drink - better for my body, my wallet, and my overall well-being. Besides, I like to think that I don't need alchohol to relax or socialise more effectively. When I am enjoying myself, I want it to be real - and to experience everything with heightened senses. Plus, it just doesen't...

Thanks!

OK, sounds like a stupid question but I just want clarification: people shortlisted for USYD scholarships find out if they are accepted/rejected by 9th January? (where did you find out?)

Oh yeah! Shortlisted for Arts Faculty! (now I've just got to get 95+.....) Well done Zephyro!

Well done! The wait was worth it, eh?

Congratulations Alex - that is terrific! I think I will take your advice and take the initiative to find out myself. :)

Damn, no letter today - no mail until monday...the Arts faculty sure knows how to build suspense. Basically it would be great to do honours in 3 instead of 4 years, then I could move onto more post-grad stuff and just generally challenge and extend myself. I think the only harder thing about...

too true

Ouch! You never know though, you might get it. My first preference is BA(Advanced)(Honours) and requires a 98.6 - so I can totally appreciate the oh-well-but-slightly-hopeful tone of your 'ha, ha, ha'. Otherwise I should be fine with an 83 for a BA!

I like your logic, my friend!

Ha ha - we are *almost* arts students. I'm applying to major in English. You?

I swear, that letter better come before the weekend. There is such a slim chance on my being shortlisted, and an even slimmer chance of getting the marks - but I just want to know and get it over with! ....wow...we do sound kind of desperate.lol.

Do you mean they only shortlist 50 people out of all applications across the faculties? Or 50 per faculty?

Don't worry - am exactly the same. True about verbosity - I actually narrowed all my margins and used a slightly smaller font to fit in everything for my personal statement! Then again, I am applying for Eng. Lit. - so go figure!

They have to notify us even if we weren't shortlisted. Apparently if you miss out you get a letter from the Scholarships and Prizes Office, and if you get shortlisted, you get one from the faculty. It's my guess that the Arts Faculty is just less organised than the others, hence the delay.
