Wrap your head around key terms
ATAR
Your ATAR, or Australian Tertiary Admission Rank, is a number between 0 and 99.95 – a rank which tells you about how you’ve compared to other students.
Selection Rank
Your selection rank is your ATAR plus any adjustment factors (previously known as bonus points).Adjustment factors are used to increase your selection rank and can be accessed through some alternate equity pathways.
Guaranteed Entry
This means that if your selection rank is equal to or above this number, you’re guaranteed an offer in that course.
ATAR Profile
The profile shows the lowest, median and highest ATARs and selection ranks received by students admitted to the course. The most useful numbers in the ATAR profile are the lowest selection rank and median ATAR – these will give you an idea of what you’ll need to be offered a place in a course.
