Offers question

[dankfrank420]

If I received by first choice for the first round (which was preference no. 1), would it still be possible to change my preferences and get an offer for a course that was initially lower than my first round?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can move your preference priorities around tomorrow. Accept your course and then shuffle them around and pray for a 2nd round offer.

What are you interested in changing into, out of curiosity?

Thanks.

Even with shuffling of preferences, does this still mean that I retain my initially accepted offer regardless of whether I receive my other. In other words, would I be risking losing that first offer?

Edit: Commerce at Melbourne btw, looking to move into post-grad Engineering. I'm looking at the change namely for the location.

You don't risk losing the first offer, no.

I'm in a similar situation, and I was just hoping somebody could clarify for me. Basically I've realised that I should have chosen my second preference over my first, but I was just told by my sister that the chances of receiving a second offer is low. Does anyone know whether this is true or not?? My second pref is Monash Arts.
ALSO, does anyone have any experience/knowledge on how to accept a second preference over a first preference???
THANK YOU.
I will owe you like, a minor galaxy for helping. Seriously all alone in this !!

Did a bit of research and found this.

What if I get my first preference, can I still change my preferences?

If you get your first preference in an offer round, congratulations. If you want to change your preferences and see if you get an offer for one of the other courses included on your preference list or maybe add a new course, simply move your offered course to the bottom of your preference list.

That way, institutions will know to consider your course application in subsequent rounds.

Remember that you are not guaranteed to get an offer in any subsequent rounds, so make sure you follow the enrolment instructions available from your VTAC user account by the deadline specified in the offer message.

Will accepting my offer lock me out of changing my preferences in future rounds?

No.

You can change your preferences as many times as you like, irrespective of whether or not you have already received an offer and enrolled or not.

If you have enrolled in a course and receive an offer in a subsequent offer round all you need to do is contact the institution at which you have enrolled to withdraw.

THANK YOU!!!
so just to clarify does that mean I'd  switch it around to put monash arts first? ?
