We break down the most common required selection ranks for the 2021 academic year, at some of the most popular universities across Australia, and help you gain entry into the course of your dreams next year.
Note: A selection rank is the ranking that tertiary admission centres and most universities actually use to assess admission to a course and is made up of your ATAR plus any adjustments made by the University. Selection rank adjustments don’t change your ATAR. They change your selection rank for a particular course at a particular institution.
