I transferred from a rank 400+ school to baulko n it important to consider how ur going to adjust especially if u have never been in a selective class/cohort. Transferring in Year 11 can mean there are more spots, but it can be more difficult as by that time more ppl at the school start to actually do work n stop chilling like they did in 7-10
. If u prepare properly before transferring this won't impact you much, tho if you arrive to a cohort that is extremely competitive, it is going to be more difficult for you to adjust to. Not sure abt how many ppl they take in yr 11 at the schools ur interested in, but it is generally more than 7-10 entry. This means there are more ppl in the same position as you n can make it easier to adapt.
