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
