If l am 1st in my cohort at school for a subject (eg math adv + ext or chem or bio or all of them including legal), but my marks were, lets say 75%, can l still apply for early offers and hope that l'll be accepted into the uni l want, or should l not bother at all, because others get 99s and are 1st?

We were told that ranks don't rlly matter in yr 11, its the marks, but in that scenario, what should l do to get an early offer?

im not the best person to answer your specific question but imo you should apply anyways because the worst that could happen is that they say no but on the flip side they could consider you anyways. ik several ppl that applied to early entry with okay marks (not necessarily top students but all marks were over 85 and ranks were decent) and got offers. its always worth a shot

also they’re not really that strict, you don’t need straight As or 1sts - I got into everything I applied for with early entry (including stuff like actuarial) despite getting like 3 Bs in y11 from a really mid school

Early entry is given out like drake gives out free candy to minors. you'll be fine, apply
