can i change my preferences after main round?? (1 Viewer)

[smallcattle]

if after the main round, one of the course i wanted to do lowered its cutoff for 2005, will i still be able to change my preferences accordingly, and wot r the chances that that course may be offered to me??

 

[alien]

u can change preferences but there's less chance you'll get an offer.

 

[smallcattle]

ok...but how less, like 30%??

and also, if in the main round, i accepts an offer, and changes my preferences for late round, will uni consider my new first preference? or is it that after i accepts an offer that is it, no more considerations??

 

[absolution*]

Minimal chance. Espiacially for courses in high demand.

If you are offered first preference in the main round then you will not be made any other offers in other rounds...which makes sense since first preference should be the one you want most.

However if in the main round you do not get your first preference, you will be considered for all preferences above the one you are offered in the main round. You may or may not get another offer in the later rounds if positions are still available and you meet the criteria

so you mean if my 9th preference being accepted in the main round, and i changed my preferences, in the late round, the uni would reconsider the 1st to 8th preferences if there is still vacancy available??

I dont think you can change preferences after main round offers. I think the day before main round offers is last day to change

ummm i think u can.
UAC guide 2005

page 25, section 5.4

heard tat if u want the same course u choosed for the main round in the late round...the UAI is usually higher than the main round~

 

[Minai]

For the higher demand courses, yes, the UAI cutoffs tend to increase dramatically in later rounds (owing to slim supply and overwhelming demand), so in general (not always), you'll have LESS of a chance getting into that course in the later rounds than the main rounds.

how do we know about which course have greater demand or stuff..won't this be not fair ...???

I hope it doesnt because I have a friend who got in the 95s that wants to do it.


Did anyone else see the Uni applicant stats this morning in the herald. Apparantly 57% of hsc students applied and overall there are some 2000 less applicants this year.

Woohoo..

 

[smallcattle]

is that a good thing or a bad thing???

I guess good because less applicantants = less competition

 

[Xayma]

Yeah but most 90 courses probably wont be affected much at all.
