In an environment that can often be not what you know but who you know... any tips on how to get my daughter into John Curtin?

I just discovered I've missed the application date for NEXT year by just a few weeks :( 15 March they closed :(

There are limited opps where we live and it really does appear to be who you know here rather than what you know.

She wants to get to WAAPA eventually.

Ideas?

thanks Tom - not a very positive outlook from you about JC...

Not sure what prompted your comment about being "overbearing" - my daugher makes her own decisions- I support her by giving her all the facts and going thru the pros and cons but the decision is always hers. I detest stage mothers - have met some shockers - my daughter tells me often how glad she is that I am nothing like them.

I don't think self discipline is going to be a problem for my daughter - she's never had probs in that area before.

So now I'm wondering if what you have posted should raise warning bells about JC in my head or if it was just you... :) (And I don't mean that in an insulting way!)
