UAC applications open in August and close on the 30th of August ...i think (just google uac and it's on their home page)

basically you pick 9 courses and order them in preference of which one you'd rather do - then after HSC you receive an ATAR and main round offers for a uni place happen on the 20th of January. This is when you find out if you got a high enough ATAR to get into your first preference, if not you may be offered you're second preference etc.

All up there are about 3 or maybe four rounds - an early round, a main round and a late round - if you're lucky you may get an offer in all rounds, but you can only receieve a maximum of one offer per round.

The UAC book comes out in August too and that's when most uni's hold their open days.

You make your decisions in August and can alter them after your ATAR. *clarified below*
It must suck to list preferences and when you get your ATAR you realize you can't do any

thats why your 9th preference is like a 60 ATAR course

I think my last preference ended up cutting off at like 56

There are courses that cut off at 56?? D:

oh, this wasn't through uac, it was through tisc in perth. But I'm sure there are UAC courses that cut that low.

edit: all these courses cut below 60. pretty shit locations though.
