im not a transfer, but at that late stage, it could be beneficial or bad for you. a few transfers have done well in ruse so in that aspect its wroth it, but there are transfers who have found it difficult to adjust to the competition and therefore it was bad. if you're average in your school, you might have a hard time in ruse, but in saying that, I don't think its too late to keep trying. if your school is really not great or providing great competition for you, then there's no harm in trying out for year 11 entry. you could find it better in your new school you might not be friends with the entire grade but you have other transfer friends to be friends with, so its not bad in that aspect either.

maybe you could give the tutoring another try, and do it the full year round

yes t1 but only for hast though as I found that my overall portfolio was too incompetent for baulko admission, I will do it next t year

Does having an interview with baulko means automatically in?

Yep there is pretty good chance, but they still do ask you interview questions. Generally it is more of a formality to assess if you actually want to join the school.

I think this is very true, it really depends on the student. I remember when I transferred into NSB a couple of us did a lot better(got ATAR 99.50+) whilst others didn't do as well. But I think the environment would be better since you can basically learn from the smartest students in the state. At least that's how I found it.
