I know I already posted this, but I’m still panicking so I’m posting again for one last gut-check.

I didn’t get into Melbourne High in Round 1, and I’m waiting for Round 2 offers now. I need brutally honest feedback — do I still stand a chance, or am I completely out of the running?

My Estimated Scores (refined):

• Writing = Top 10% (Superior)
• Verbal Reasoning = Top 10% (Superior)
• Maths = Top 20% (Potentially Superior)
• Numerical Reasoning = Top 20%
• Reading = Average

So roughly: 2 definite SUPs, 2 Top 20s, and 1 Average

Melbourne High was my first preference.

School Context and My Position:

• I attend a normal private school (not SEAL or selective-entry).
• Our school has two campuses:
  • At the other campus, 5 students got in via Round 1.
  • At my campus, there are only 5 serious applicants:
    • 3 boys (including me) — two are focused on Nossal
    • 2 girls — aiming for Mac.Rob or Suzanne Cory
• One boy from the other campus got into Melbourne High already.
• The other boys who applied to SEHS this year are maxing out at 1–2 SUPs, and they weren’t highly motivated or focused on getting in.
• I’m comfortably in the Top 5 academically at my campus, and no other male applicant from my school was seriously aiming for MHS.

So here’s my actual question:

With 2 SUPs, 2 Top 20s, and 1 Average, and being from a private school with very few serious SEHS candidates...

Do I still have a shot at getting into Melbourne High via Round 2?

Or am I just coping at this point?

Please be blunt and real — I just want to know where I really stand before results drop on July 31st (10AM).
