Is it worth waiting for 2nd, 3rd, final round offers? (1 Viewer)

Hey everyone

Uni offers in VIC comes out in a few days and I'm trying to decide weather I should accept the offer they give me first (which will most likely be 3rd/4th prefs [engineering]) or wait for later round offers so I hav a chance to get my 1st/2nd prefs [archi]?

Would it be too big a risk as I might miss out on my 3rd/4th prefs as well if the places get taken up while I wait for later round offers for my 1st two prefs?

I *think* that you're able to accept your 3rd/4th preference and then decline it upon receiving (possibly) a higher preference offer. Your acceptance shouldn't affect you being offered a higher preference. Don't hold me to this anyone...because I'm not entirely sure...

accept first round, you can then accept your 2nd round if u choose

Thanks for the replies.

So I'd still automatically receive 2nd (or whatever) round offers after I've accepted the Round 1 offer?
Or do i have to look at the score needed for the course in the later round offers then withdraw (from R1 offer) and re-enrol (to final round offers)?

yes UAC dont know you accepted a 1st round offer. u still get 2nd round even if u accepted 1st round

i think when you enroll in your second round course, you tell them about your 1st round acceptance and that will automatically cancell your 1st round accpetance

obviosly if you recieve a 2nd round offer u need not accpet it and u can stay with your first round offer.

Yeah! UAC will give you offers as much as possible in main round, unlike QTAC. To me, I should receive the first and second offers on 17/1

For VTAC, it's on 15/1
