Okay, here's the low down on Underrepresented Schools:
Under-represented schools are defined as Victorian schools that have an average of 20 or more Year 12 VTAC applicants per year over the past three years and:
* Have 62% or less of applicants enrolled in a tertiary institution AND 14% or less of these enrolled at the University of Melbourne.
OR
* Have between 61% and 78% of applicants enrolled in a tertiary institution AND 8% or less of these enrolled at the University of Melbourne.
Thank you for your recent enquiry to the University of Melbourne Information Centre.
As part of our ongoing commitment to ensure a transparent selection process, the University of Melbourne has published a selection guarantee for the following two Access Melbourne categories:
* Disadvantaged financial background (SEAS category 5)
* Applicants from rural or isolated areas (SEAS category 6)
Students who complete Year 12 in 2010 and are eligible for one or both of these categories will be guaranteed a Commonwealth supported place in the following undergraduate degrees at the University of Melbourne, provided they meet the course prerequisites and achieve the following ATAR or notional ATAR:
* 78 or above - guarantees a place in Arts, Environments or Science
* 88 or above - guarantees a place in Biomedicine or Commerce
All Access Melbourne applicants are considered for, and may be offered a Commonwealth supported place in a course where their ATAR is lower than the specified minimum ATAR.
Because the circumstances described in Access Melbourne applications are so individual and the decision also relies on your potential to succeed in your chosen course it is not possible to indicate in advance exactly what difference your Access Melbourne application might make during selection.
All applicants who apply for and are eligible for Access Melbourne will automatically be considered for a Melbourne Access Scholarship. A separate scholarship application is not required.
At least 150 scholarships are available. The scholarship entitlements are as follows in the duration of a 3 year undergraduate program:
First year $6500
Second year $4000
Third year $3000
