Apparently, in Canberra, the ANU posts all it's offers in the Canberra Times. Short story long, my name's not there. I didn't get an offer.
Guess I'll be back in Darwin soon, tail between legs style. Can't begin to describe how crushing this is. End message.
awww sh*t mate im soo sorry hey.
I guess all your hopes were high and everything also :?
Just a question though, why did you move before you knew you got accepted? Not trying to piss you off or anything.

STOP PRESS!
I rang up the ANU directly - turns out the Canberra Times only reports CANBERRA residents who were accepted to ANU; I actually have my offer. What twigged me onto this was that I was reading it a few hours later and I realised that someone from Darwin High School (My High School) achieved a TER of 95.75 and yet wasn't on the list... so I rang 'em up, figuring I had nothing to loose. The reason I didn't get a postal offer was because it went to Darwin.
/me happy..
BTW, half of all applicants to ANU were rejected and all course TER requirements remained steady or increased this year dispite a dropoff of IT applicants. B-IT jumped from 70 to 73 (still made the cut tho') and Software Engineering was steady at 82 (didn't make the cut; but it's ok.) Software Engineering, at least the first year of anyway, is exactly identical to B-IT, and if you maintain a credit average then they bump you up if you so choose. Which I shall do.
Tally ho! All is not lost!
EDIT: Seems that ANU is jammed packed and there will be no second round offers made for any course. That's mad.
Phew, scared me for a bit there ^_^
WD, wolf we should hopefully be shareing some classes
