well according to the manual, we find out on the 16th of July...
just a quick question- if we are accepted after the interview, does that mean that we are definitely in the BAcc course next year regardless of the atar we achieve??
thanks
and congrats to all those who got accepted

Mm, surprisingly landed myself an interview too. Congrats guys. 
Well, we had one of the co-op students come to out school to talk about the course and he said they accepted people with ATAR about 85+ provided they did well in their interviews.

Congrats to all who have been offered interviews! I will be attending the friday interview day, 8-12 I think so hopefully I'll get to speak to some of you then
If I recall correctly, the actual offers for the first round were made a week after the last day of interviews. I got mine on a friday so probably just over a week after the last day of interviews.
If you get offered a position after the interviews it is guaranteed pending an ATAR of 95 or above. Anything below and you are no longer guaranteed. But as long as you are above 90, your chances are still very good. Even below, as long as it's still above 85, you still have a chance if your interview performance and to a lesser extent application were very good.
Are any of you coming to the Revue on Friday night? Not sure if any emails got sent to applicants about that? If not, just ignore me haha.

What do they talk about in the interview stage etc. Also is it common for people to get an ATAR of 85-95 and get rejected?
I was under the assumption most people with 85+ pretty much get in, if they were offered.

Haha don't get too caught up on what will be asked in the interview. I don't think it's strict, they can ask what they want. I don't feel my interview was really strict, it was flexible in terms of what was asked, and my responses seemed at times to direct the interview. But you will likely get questions on examples of leadership, team work, etc, why you are interested in accounting, what you think accountants are/do, logic problems and more. Just be prepared to go in there and talk. Obviously think about what might be asked, but don't try and prepare scripted responses to a certain question. I'm sure they will tell straight away if an answer sounds prepared or rote learned. Just be genuine, honest and open about why business and specifically accounting is appealing to you.
About rejection with an ATAR above 85 after already being offered a position, I'm not sure to be honest. Obviously, there will be students who are offered BAcc but reject it for UNSW Co-op, cadetships, combined law and completely different degrees because they decide accounting is not for them. So I think if you ended up getting rejected despite getting over 85, it would mean an unusually high number of very high achieving students on the reserve lists. But again, don't worry too much about these things

HAHA, it had it's moments. A fair few in jokes, many of which I didn't even get. I spoke to a few people there who were in Year 12, 2 guys from barker and a girl from oatley.
