Will it be harder to do well with ATAR compared to ENTER

Ok so seeing as ATAR covers almost every state will it be harder with so many more students, to get 90+ ...

this worries me a lot because i know i need at least 95+ for my course... any thoughts? :-\

As per my understanding ATAR is just a name change.
It is still Victorian Certificate of Education however the new 'ATAR' means you can go to any university in Australia with this score and it will be nationally recognised.
Feel free to class this as bull-shit as I have no concrete source.

I thought it was still the same as ENTER, just the name change so no difference.

pretty sure our ATAR calculation doesn't include other states, because that would just be broken
