But Baulkho ig is the more popular choice amongst all tiered selective school students

wait why
i thought ruse would have more

That you can’t say. A lot of people who show up to the ruse test, also apply for Baulkho, same can be said for people who show up to the Baulkho test. But Baulkho ig is the more popular choice amongst all tiered selective school students

Ohh ok that makes sense

Yeah I thought ruse would have more people applying because it has more spots

no ruse would be a popular choice for like the top 10-20 ranked schools. Whilst Baulkho is a popular choice for even like 20+ ranked schools as well as <20 ranked schools. Also it depends on the year. There could be more for ruse in year 9 entry, but I mean given what schools everyone tries to transfer to, it usually is baulkho and then ruse

Ohh ok. So baulko basically has more transfers for yr 9 right?

No ruse has more transfers by 5 more people but more people apply for Baulkho because Baulkho accepts a higher proportion of people from lower ranked schools than ruse

Ohh ok. Do you think I have a better shot at ruse or baulko? I'm thinking of applying for only ruse and penrith right now

I think you should also apply for Baulkho. It’s not uncommon for ruse to select people from 40+ schools let alone 70+ schools, but the chances are definitely more slimmer at ruse than Baulkho. You should apply for all three, baulkho, ruse and Penrith. You have good chances for Baulkho and Penrith for year 9 entry because ruse usually takes on top 10 or lower schools for year 9. From then on, some people go on to transfer again to ruse in y10 or y11s

Guys anyone hear from hurlstone for year 10 entry I haven’t heard anything from them yet

I think the results have come out, as we've had students receive offers for Hurlstone. You have to wait and see though some spots may open based on who accepts/rejects offers.

How likely is it to get into hurlstone for year 10 entry if you are on reserve and approximately how many people would be on reserve?

Okayy I'll have back up schools as well

 

[Smartboiiii]

Guys how likely is it for me to make Girraween or Penrith next year for y10 entry and what’s like the minimum hast mark needed?

Also do they care much about excs cause I’ve been trying to find some but there’s barely anything worth my time

For year 10 entry, both penrith and girraween open around 30 spots so it would be the best year to apply for. I know someone who got into penrith and they got top 10% for all subjects except for 1, where they got top 15%.

 

[DaMinion]

based on what ive seen minimum hast mark for a pretty good chance at year 10 entry is 10 10 15 15. you might get reserve for 10 15 15 15

n yes they do care abt ur exc cuz the panel/board selection review ur portfolio to differentiate among kids who got rlly good marks yk to decreases the number of kids 4 interview/offer (penrith does that from experience btw). Minimum hast mark i feel is within the top 10 (low max) or high 15(min) cuz previous kids n this yrs kids got in 4 interview, high reserve (which then changes to interview or direct offer when other students decline it ) or offer with that marks
