Bonus points (which do not change your actual ATAR but only "boost your ATAR" as maycat said) may be given because a candidate:
- Got high marks in subjects/courses related to the uni course they are applying for (dependent on uni and course beign applied to)
- Got a scholarship which includes bonus points such as UNSW's AAA scholarship
- Live or went to school in a high priority area for the uni for eg Western Sydney kids who apply to UWS
- Have been granted EAS bonus points for various personal disadvantages (very hard to qualify for these)
