Your Class 12 marks matter a great deal if you want a seat in an undergraduate program at the University of Sydney. Depending on the course you choose, you will need somewhere between 75 percent and 95 percent, with a few courses granting exceptions to this range.

Beyond the Percentage

A high Class 12 score alone will not carry your application; you also need to submit your transcript, proof of English proficiency and, for some programs, standardized test scores through the UAC portal. Courses vary widely in how strictly they apply the percentage cutoff, so a borderline score does not automatically rule you out.

My Advice

Do not fixate only on hitting 95 percent if your target course sits at the lower end of the range. Instead, get your specific course's cutoff verified and have a counsellor review your full profile, since exceptions are sometimes made when the rest of your application is strong.
