Now my uni isnt that selective but the way we get students is that first of all there aren’t that much candidates. Where the are always way more students than what the uni can take is biology. In my country we have to take final exams after high school. The results turn into application points that unis use to rank applicants. Now we like to take around 100 applicants a year so we look where we reach about a hundred and around 80-110 we often see a large gap in scores and draw the line there. For unis around the world they either also use scores from previous education or write test which is technically an option here two but is basically never used.
