Clearly in 2013 predictions

[noodles123]

Thoughts?

[Hancock]

Biomed ~98-99 (Lower cut-off due to SEAS min-ATAR going from 92 to 95 this year)
Science ~88-90 (90.15 was a massive jump since 2011's 85.05, expecting to taper off a little)
Enviro ~85
Commerce ~95 (pretty stable course)
Music ~Irrelevant for ATAR
Arst ~92 (UoM apparently tweeted that Arts was the most 1st preference course in Vic this year or something)

commerce has a 95.00 ATAR guaranteed entry for 2013 for domestic students

Every year since 2009 I've said the clearly in for biomed won't go up/will decrease, so this year I'm going to attempt to finally be right and state that it will remain at or above 99

[Special At Specialist]

If you go to an "underrepresented school" (pretty much all average or below average schools), then the guaranteed entry is:
78 for Arts, Environments or Science
88 for Commerce
95 for Biomedicine

If you go to a top school like MHS or Scotch College, then I would trust Hancock's prediction:

Biomed ~98-99 (Lower cut-off due to SEAS min-ATAR going from 92 to 95 this year)
Science ~88-90 (90.15 was a massive jump since 2011's 85.05, expecting to taper off a little)
Enviro ~85
Commerce ~95 (pretty stable course)
Music ~Irrelevant for ATAR
Arst ~92 (UoM apparently tweeted that Arts was the most 1st preference course in Vic this year or something)

Are you sure all "average" schools are considered underrepresented? I go to a fairly average school and I don't think mine is. How could I check? I'm curious now.

What about with SEAS applications? I applied for the medical category, is there a chance they won't accept it or ?

78 for Arts, Environments or Science
88 for Commerce
95 for Biomedicine

That's for rural, not underrepresented (also for financial disadvantage)

They will consider the application on a case by case basis. Whether or not that's sufficient depends on your circumstances. Your application is guaranteed to be considered though.

My school had 5 students go to UoM and ~10 go to Monash with 11 having ATARs > 90. We weren't meant to be under-repped but it didn't go through. It's a lot easier to get in if you're school is under-repped.

http://futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au/admissions/pathways/access-melbourne/eligibility-criteria/under-represented-schools . The list does vary from year to year but not by much though, a few schools get removed and some schools get put in.

I predict science will be 88.5

[ldee]

Science ~88-90 (90.15 was a massive jump since 2011's 85.05, expecting to taper off a little)

Anybody know the factors that contributed to the jump? Was it just more people wanting to apply or did UoM make changes to the intake?

If my school is underrepresented, will Melbourne Uni know this and will they take it greatly in consideration when deciding whether or not Ill get an offer for my course?

If it's the same as the rural thing, you had to tick a box in SEAS... Our school drilled this into as they've had a few cases where student A had a lower ATAR, ticked the box, got in, student B had higher ATAR, didn't apply through seas, didn't get in.

[Fantasia94]

Oh okay. But I didn't tick anything, I thought the school or my careers teacher was responsible for all of this.  :/
