Re: ATAR and Selection Rank Questions

SEAS never disadvantages any application. It can only ever help you. Universities see your ATAR but then individually do their own adjustments for SEAS.

At Monash, the 'guarantee' number actually refers to their Monash Guarantee program that reduces the required ATAR (before adjustments) for those who meet their eligibility criteria.

The lowest selection rank is the ATAR (after any adjustments from bonus points or SEAS) that they require if you are not eligible for the Monash Guarantee. To get into the Bachelor of Laws, I believe you would need an ATAR of 98 after any adjustments. This is why they show the lowest ATAR they gave an offer for (i.e., someone had 93.60 but was offered the course because of adjustments).

Adding on to www’s great reply:

Both lowest selection rank and lowest ATAR to receive offer are specific to the cohort and will differ each year, as this is dependent on demand and spots available. Using your example, a 98 selection rank won’t necessarily always guarantee you’ll get a spot in the Bachelor of Laws (apart from Monash Guarantee), if more people put  this as a preference. It’s merely a guideline based on previous cohort(s) and you won’t find out what it was for your cohort until offers arrive and stats start to roll out.

Fortunately for most courses that don’t require any other criteria apart from ATAR/ selection rank, the lowest selection rank usually remains relatively similar, give or take some “ATAR points” in either direction, so the one on the courses are typically only a guideline, rather than a set bar, if that makes sense.
