NSW says there are no set minimum entry scores, for any school. NSW does not give out test scores or placement ranks. Any "cut-off" you see for Sydney Secondary College, Balmain Campus is not an official NSW figure.

Putting a school first gives no extra advantage in the merit order. You get at most one first-round offer: for the highest school on your list that you qualify for. So list up to 3 schools in the order you really prefer them.
There is no attendance fee at a selective high school. Schools can still ask for payments for resources, excursions and sport, and boarding is charged separately.
