Hey @
HotIce ! I called them too and they said I was competitive although it would ultimately come down to the quality of applicants for that year. She told me the same thing as what you said and also said that we can get a rank of above 99 (some Griffith staff were unaware of that, only the application department truly knew the procedures and so when they transferred me to the application department, I found this out).
So our GPA 6.5 gets converted into a rank of 99, then any decimal points gets converted to a decimal point as well so 99.XX. And that is ranked against the school leavers ATAR scores too I think. 90 seats for domestic students including both school leavers and non-standards.
She also mentioned that there were no second round offers for 2013 and 2014 and the cutoff scores were GPA 6.6 and 6.55 respectively. So I hope that doesn't increase this year. I also think they won't be participating in second round offers either. What is your opinion on this?
