Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (4 Viewers)

[studyingisnotfun]

ig i have high expectations? I want 99+ but I definitely cannot do that in my current school (like no way bro I cannot beat these people for some reason)

But I mean Ruse is also very competitive like everybody works really hard
would you say your entire cohort works very hard or is it like a select number of people? Because usually you would have to be doing very well in your current school to get a 99+ at ruse
[/QUOTE]
maybe around 40 people work hard with 200 people in our grade in total
people say that you only need to be above the median (so top 50%) in ruse to get 99+

 

[yehun]

Any news for girraween or hurlstone results?

I got an interview for hurlstone, they called my parents. Has anyone heard anything for Fort Street by any chance?

 

[Yes99]

Hey do u have any tips for the Ruse interview? I'm doing it on Monday for entry into year 9

New principal this year, and the person who used to organise all of the transfers has retired few months ago, so I think it will be different to previous years. In previous years, they are very generic questions, and mine was like 7 minutes. went very quick. have a look at all the past years posts about transfer interviews.

usually you would have to be doing very well in your current school to get a 99+ at ruse

yeah, this is point but wanted to clarify what she meant.

Also how many people does baulko accept going for year 10 into year 11?

depends how many baulko year 10 end up coming to ruse. jokes. but largely true

people say that you only need to be above the median (so top 50%) in ruse to get 99+

only need to be above median. right... so easy!
yeah, i can sort of understand how people from other school might think that.

oh wouldn’t that be good then? Because like in ruse everybody works hard and it would be harder to get over the median.
since you said you’re school is private and high performing it may be better for u to stay there if you’re doing okay or good there
I just wanna say I know a lot of kids in ruse and top performing selective schools that get scholarships to go to private schools so that’s something to think about as well but congrats on getting offered

 

[Rekkking]

I don't think so but they're probably coming out soon because ruse ones have come out

Yeah they said on the 26th of September (at least for year 7)

 

[Rekkking]

Also how would you prepare for an interview with Normanhurst

 

[Strawberrymilk267]

Yeah they said on the 26th of September (at least for year 7)

Isn’t it until then so it could be earlier?

Wait, you got invitation for year 8 entrance Normo?
