Getting into first preference

I received 84.75 for my ATAR score and the clearly in score for my first preference is 85.05. Do you think I have a chance of being accepted?

Yes, you still have a chance, they let in people below clearly-in.

What if first preference requires 78 (with seas consideration) and the atar obtained is 74.. is that a bit too low?
This is melb uni science by the way..

^ I'm not sure about that... I'd say quite unlikely, sorry. Take a look at your other options :)

Might as well quiz forum;

I got 98.25 and last years clearly in for biomed was 98.45. I'm also a Kwong Lee Dow scholar. Any chance of me getting in? (I mean there's a chance, but is it good?)

Doesn't being KLD give you a lower atar cutoff for Melbourne University degrees?

I wasn't quite sure. I thought the exception was biomed. Hopefully not.

I've heard the being a KLD allows you to get in on a much lower atar - including biomed!
Definitely double check asap!

You're right. I found this It says there's a quota for biomed but I hope I make the cut.
