YEAR 12 REMINDERS

Important Entry to Medicine:

UCAT is now open! Register here!

Students who have commenced Year 12 in 2021 and are planning to apply for any of the following university courses listed below are reminded that registrations for the UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) are now open and close early May. Tests are available throughout July. Information has also been posted via Compass and email.

Students who are preparing for entry into these courses are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the practice tests and preparation material provided at MedEntry for UCAT Preparation.

You can download and view the 2022 latest entry information here below.

Early Applications:

Many universities have early entry schemes where you can be offered a place before the normal round of offers. These schemes can vary at each university but generally involve completing an application and being able to demonstrate that you are capable of succeeding in your chosen course and also that you are a good all-round student who will contribute well to the life of the university you have chosen to apply for.

ANU

Current domestic Year 12 students who intend applying directly to ANU for undergraduate study in 2022 are advised that ANU will now make offers based on Year 11 results on 9 August 2021, and these will be honoured for study in 2022 as long as students have completed Year 12 and achieved an ATAR.

Should the Year 11 results not meet entry requirements, selection officers will automatically consider Year 12 results in the December offer round. Students will need to meet the co-curricular or service requirement and ANU has adjusted its requirements due to the disruptions of COVID-19.

Applications now open and will close on 24 May 2021. Students are advised to read through Application Information before applying at ANU Applications for 2022
