When do we find out about EAS? (1 Viewer)

[zhusalmz]

So regardless of what my preferences are they'll notify me of my eligibility to all unis that comply with the Scheme?

Correct, just incase you decide to change your preferences after the ATAR is out, so they might as well release all outcomes for all of the unis.

Cool, I haven't touched my preferences since July... I went to change them just as I got home from work but UAC site is down for maintenance.

You done mate, you can't change your preference anymore I believe so maybe just the time period before our ATAR is released but after that you can only change the order.

No you can add new courses. You're not stuck with the ones you entered in the middle of the year.

Saturday 4 January 2014 is the deadline for submitting preferences in order to gain a place during the Main Round offers.

I know a close friend who had an ATAR of 72, had a form of ADHD, Epilepsy and applied for two other disadvantage (Youth Allowance, Low-Economic School) and was admitted into UTS B.Business/B.Medical Sciences which required an ATAR of 93. That was a surprise to me because I thought that EAS @ UTS was only 10 points, so in this experience I'm gonna say it differs a little when you're applying with a medical disadvantage. I'm quite sure you'll be very beneficial in terms of EAS points when applying for this.

The only thing I'm quite confused is this differs between other unis, so I wouldn't know too much about say USYD or UNSW about their acceptance of applicants who a high level/spectrum of disadvantage and the cutoff base of the course.

Wow I haven't ever heard of that before. It is such a big difference and I am so happy for your friend. I am looking to bonus points at UWS and USYD with EAS .

Apparently they are very strict though and don't give it out unless you truly deserve. Hope I get some anyway.

+1, Sydney Uni is very conservative and strict in terms of handing out points, but try I guess. With UWS, I know you'll make it in

Yeah I am not to fussed about USYD. But for UWS it would be great if I had 3-4 from EAS which seems unlikely because they seem to give out 2 or something.

So when we get the letter via email tomorrow or whenever.. does it state how many points we have received? Would be so shit if they didn't tell us!

 

[sirable1]

You will receive the email starting tomorrow till the following days. I've received mine the day after the ATAR was out.

It doesn't state how many points you receive, only your eligibility of the EAS points.

So I got an email at 12:30 from UAC about a correspondence, assuming it's the EAS eligibility but since there site is down for maintenance I can't confirm. Doesn't really matter since I exceeded the ATAR requirements for all my possible courses but yeah might be more exciting for others.

edit - ye it was.
