<p>any aussies here? class of 2013 or otherwise!</p>
<p>NSW people.... lets join in our hate of the HSC (WHICH I FINISHED TODAY!!!! FREEEEEDOM!)</p>
<p>Screw lacking HSC syllabus.</p>
<p>finshed finished finshed! never have to analyze another stinking coleridge poem again!!!</p>
<p>well at least you guys don’t have final exams that TEST YOU ON THE WHOLE YEAR. and then have to wait a month for your whole year results. have a cry HSC people. LOL. </p>
<p>up victorians!!</p>
<p>dude what do you think the HSC is?</p>
<p>No we dont have exams that test us on the whole year
we have exams that test us on THE PAST TWO YEARS! and we have to wait MORE then a month… I finished on the 6th of November… i get my results on the 17th of DECEMBER… last time I checked that was more then a months…
who cares? why are we competing… both systems SUCK! let’s all go to Qld!</p>
<p>yeah, you can all come over to my house and say “possunt quia posse videntur”.</p>
<p>which means?</p>
<p>I don’t live in Australia but I’m just over the ditch in New Zealand (: But I don’t think there’s many (if any) kiwis here sadly…</p>
<p>you can be an honorary aussie thats okay! Yeah there doesn’t appear to be an over abundance of Kiwis… or aussies for that matter wither</p>
<p>aha no competing. it’s just that every person i’ve talked to who does HSC complains endlessly about the system.</p>
<p>we probably all need to lighten up. hehe. working out a future is so stressful…</p>
<p>I think everyone complains about their system no matter what they do… its just a teenager thing</p>
<p>hey another kiwi here i’m really surprised that there’s actually another one</p>
<p>oh yes. i completely know where you’re coming from.</p>
<p>i really didn’t mean any offense. ;)</p>
<p>and holysalchow, aussies always steal new zealanders and call them our own anyway, so you’re in.</p>
<p>Woah congrats on you all who’ve finished the HSC! One more year for me 
before freedom!! So are you guys doing your regular apps now?</p>
<p>Aininor: yep up to my ears in paperwork… really quite annoying… need to get all these copies of my report signed as an “official transcript” uch!</p>
<p>and flower18 - don’t worry wasn’t taking offense :P</p>
<p>yay for the aussies.</p>
<p>im in the ACT so i work on continuous assement and still have 6 exams left. :(</p>
<p>so where is everyone from 13’ applying?</p>
<p>Me–Columbia ED.</p>
<p>Thanks for accepting me into the thread guys =P
nzrower where are you from in New Zealand? </p>
<p>I’m not from '13, I’ll be applying next year hopefully. Good luck with Columbia! That’s my dream school!</p>
<p>Hey, guys. I’m new here but I’m from Perth. Still a sophomore, I’m afraid but I’m a junior as of Feb '09 
</p>
<p>I’m kinda in a crappy place right now where ppl give you a ‘***?!’ look when you mention you’re considering study abroad. And that’s not even when I drop the ‘I’m looking at lower Ivy League’s’ bomb. lol.</p>
<p>Anyway, this seems like a cool forum. I was recently in a sort of Aussie version of this but they were pretty racist/rude/etc… so here I am 
Sorry, I’m rambling.
Later!</p>
<p>P.S- What do you mean by class of '13? Is that when YOU finish HS or your undergrad?</p>
<p>yes people do give you that look and then you have to spend a minimum of 10 mins defending yourself… which is why for the longest time I just avoided telling people.
Class of '13 = college class of 13 so most probably class of 2008 for high school…</p>
<p>I’m applying columbia too! I think…, never been there and NOT applying anywhere ED cause the only school I want ED doesn’t offer ED or EA :(</p>
<p>yeah i though id try and get in on ED. (fingers crossed). For me its Columbia, Barnard, Brown or UPenn. (then princeton or smith). but now all i can do is wait.</p>
<p>actually im kinda nervous about how they will recieve my aussie transcript.
cause i got a 78 in econ, but i was top of the class (but they didnt note it).</p>
<p>I know the look. its “why, why cant you get your degree here? why does which university you go to matter? you’lle be so far away from your family.”</p>
<p>I meant undergraduate class of 13’, so highschool 08’.</p>
