Saint Ignatius College Geelong co-captain Matilda Stepto hopes to be offered a place at University of Melbourne to study a Bachelor of Biomedicine when offers come out next week.
Matilda recorded an ATAR of 96.75 this week and said the news was “exciting”, but also “bittersweet” with some of her friends doing well and some being disappointed at their score.
“I was absolutely excited – it was beyond my hopes of what I was expecting for myself,” she said.
“I was very proud of myself, but also super relieved. Some were a little bit disappointed and some were super excited, so it was a 50/50 day. A very strange day.
“It’s quite crazy how the entire year builds up to that one day and that one number.”
Matilda will spend the summer working at Adventure Park and hanging out with friends.
“I think I’ll enjoy a bit of the freedom without having to sit at home and study,” she said.
“I couldn’t have imagined myself anywhere else other than St Ignatius. We received so much support from the teachers.”
