ok for the school, don't worry, I'm pretty sure they'll accept you. your extra curriculars are pretty good, but i think you should have 2-3 more because there will be other people who have racked up a hell of extra curriculars. i suggest you look into your school for extra curricular opportunities like public speaking or debating. for your academics, given that you said you'd be getting A in the core subjects that's very good. I suggest you should get A's in almost every subject, like at least 1 subject B, because anything with C or below or too many B's is an automatic no for them. so given that youre applying next year, if your reports this year are mostly A's and next year is A's you're set to go. Though I'd say for the edutest, you would need at least 3 superiors to even be considered, because they look at your edutest marks first before looking at the portfolio. I suggest you practice the edutest papers thoroughly, practice time management, practice writing etc, because you have experience now, so it'll feel better on your second time and you're good to go. though i forgot what grade you're in. what grade are you in right now?

Right now I’m in year 8 however i dont really mind what school I get into or try out for because to me they’re basically all the same. I just want a top 60 school that I’m guaranteed to get in.. I don’t know how strict ruse is when it comes to accepting people from the interviews but no one from my school got into the interviews. If u think I could make ruse next year lmk and I’ll lock in

Sydney tech was my 3rd preference and they rejected me.. but I’m waiting for my hast results from girraween so I ultimately know whether or not appealing is worth it. I need to score in the top 20% i assume to have any chance at all

you're still pretty young lol you have a lot of time. but entry for year 10 and 11 is very hard compared to entry to year 9. saying that, youre clearly on your way to getting good reports, so if you just do more extracurricular, and practice hard for the edutest, I'd say you can get into james ruse, however like try to win some grand award of some sort like a writing competition, maths competiiton, science competition, even a sports competition is fine. for the interviews, i know for year 10 entry and year 11 entry, its like 10/25 people selected so like lets say 25 people get chosen for the interview, 10 students get in. note that these numbers are just an example not actually how many people get in. for the interview, i'd say theres no harm in hiring a tutor for llike 2-3 weeks to improve your responses, but it can be a little costly, so you can watch interview courses for free like tedx etc.

id say though that some transfers have quite a hard time adjusting to the like lifestylel of ruse, like what i mean is the academic flow and competition, so getting in in year 10 would be optimal than year 11, because i know theres a much lower success rate of year 11's in ruse than year 10's. not a lot of year 11 transfers i know have performed well in our school, except for the few who are kinda like overachievers since the very beginning of their high school career. id say dont slack off if you do get in, because thts a mistake many ruse transfers make (senior transfers).

Hey guys has anyone who chose girraween as their first preference gotten the letter back yet? Personally I’m applying for y9 and I haven’t got any letters back from girraween at all so I’m considering just emailing the school because this is the last day their office is open. Am I the only one in this situation? I’m going to email them at 12pm
