hi what do you reckon the chances are for early entry for me ? my grades in year 11 were pretty bad but i do have some extra curriculars and work experience i can put on and i also go to a selective school ranked in the top 10?

usyd doesnt do early entry but u might be able to get from unsw, do u live in a low-socioeconomic area?
no lol
then no early entry buddy
lmao ok good to know. do u know if ranking of school or portfolio could possibly make a differnece or is like mainly based on grades only

unsw doesn't offer early entry if u don't live in a low socioeconomic area, basically
they have changed it so portfolio entry is open for everyone, but this only applies to engineering and design degrees, so unless if u have a portfolio of works u likely won't get an early entry

like u have projects that u did in your own time, eg if u were applying for a design degree, you have a bunch of things you've already designed in your own time
ohh okay and what does that look like for engineering early entry ??

depends but like if u participated in school stuff like robotics club and made your own original robot that could be something
or for software engineering, you have a couple of programming things you made, could be as simple as a website or something that makes sense of a large dataset
okayy thank you rn my predicated atar is around 93 ish and imma try to get it up after trials too if i dont get in through early entry would i be fine for normal entry ??

do textbook work to know the basics well, and make sure u understand all the concepts well, from there just spam thsc and do all the new syllabus papers
half of the subject is "memorising" the ez questions, once u can comfortably do questions 1-8 and questions 11-12 then just do as many of the harder questions as possible to max ur chances of getting high marks in questions 13-14
okayy thank you !! i seem to be doing okay in the textbook work but rn im getting a B and i really wanna raise that to an A for my next task before the trials. its probably because im not doing enough exam papers thank you !!!! i've heard a lot of people say though even if you dont do so well in internals you still have a chance of getting a good atar if u do well in trials and hsc ??
