Please do, I also live in Campbeltown which is really far from these schools which doesn’t help my case, and assuming I get all superiors in edutest, do I have a fair shot??? Like what are my chances of getting in percentage wise? Please be honest

the fact that u live far away doesn’t change anything since ruse doesn’t care about the travel time,

ok assuming u get all superiors in your test u have a pretty good chance and as long as you have some alright extracirriculars it should be like at least 75 percent??

icl tho cuz ur getting a lot of Bs in a rank 150 school that might influence their decision
i’ll let u know when they respond

If I get one B, does that matter a lot though? cause I can bring the others up I’m really close to an A, are you sure it’s 75%? That’s an awfully large chance, with chances like that I can just put ruse, baulko, sbhs

it would definitely help if u got straight As

its a 75% chance considering if u got full marks on the edutest? unless if superior isn’t full marks sorry i’m not familiar with edutest

or if getting full marks on an edutest is easier than i thought

Nah superior isn’t that hard to get, it’s the highest one yet 10% of the people trying out tend to get it

Nah 10% of the people sitting the test get it, but it’s the highest one you can get, I don’t think it’s that hard to obtain it, knowing this, what do you think my chances are now approximately for ruse, baulko, sb, fort, hahs cause those are the main schools I’m thinking about trying out for

the real question is why bother trying out for selective? Looks like you just want to do CS and you only need a 90 for the best CS program in the country, which you can trivially get at any public school

Can I please have some advice on what school I should try out for entry into year 10? The distance doesn't really matter, and preferably top 50 school. Please note that I currently attend a rank 150 school. Please let me know ASAP. Thanks in advance.

great way to develop a dependence on tutoring and set your self up for a poor run at Uni! Seriously, other than the connections one develops at a private/selective and the benefit if one is pursuing medicine, there is only downsides to attending them over a public school.
