You cannot change your preferences after the 2nd of Jan I think. So if at that time your OLD fifth pref has become your 3rd pref, and you are only offered your 4th, you would be taking a great risk in waiting for the second round as you may or may not get an offer, but your 4th pref place will be gone. That's my understanding anyway.
The risk of waiting for an offer in the Late rounds is that the UAI may skyrocket (eg if it was 85 in the main round, it could go up to 95 or something, because the number of places ur competing for has reduced dramatically)
errrrrr i am confused
i am saying, before the 3rd of jan, my preferences are set, so in the main round offer, i got my 4th offer on the 17th. but then i decided i want to do my 6th pref instead, so i move my 6th pref to third, and shift everything down by one. then would i be considered for the preferences in the late round/?

Re: errrrrr i am confused
BUT! if u think u'll get in easily cos its a much lower UAI, think again, because in the late round, there are far less places available, if any, and therefore the UAI cutoff will skyrocket (read flyin's post on actuary, it went up to 99+ from 96). So there is a great risk in waiting for a late round offer.
yes, if u choose not to accept your offer (which would be the 4th one), and u decide to want to do ur 6th by moving it up, ur preferences will be considered in the late round

accept the preference u got offered during the main round and wait and see if u get offered one of your higher preferences in the 2nd round. u can then accept the 2nd round one and go back and decline the main round one.
btw, that's what i've been told by a friend who did hsc last yr

yeah, we were always told to accept the first offer you get, no matter what it is (presuming that since you put it on your UAC form, you actaully want to do it). Then change your preferences round (if need be) for the late round. If you also get an offer in the late round, then you can choose which to take and which to reject.
both will be similar to last year because at nsw it just commerce (plus another) which is about 94 ... while at macq acturial is an individual course and is about 96 for single and 97+ for double ... main rounds should be no problem but late rounds are definitely out of reach ...
anyway, if i dont get in first round ... ill start commerce at macq ... and transfer ...
you can get more than one offer if for example you get offered a place for the preference 6 in the main round but the uai for preference 3 in the late and final rounds goes down, then u might get offered a place for preference 3.
it's in the info that uac sent us.
