Hey guys so i was .85 off for my usyd e12 offer for commerce and was wondering if there was any chance I could still get in? does anyone have any experience with this? Also, I have another conditional early offer that needs to be my first preference to get so I don't know if I should bother with my e12 offer if I don't have a guarantee on being able to get in. Does anyone have any insight?
Given that USyd's E12 Early Offer and Scholarship Scheme requires you to meet a reduced ATAR, if you have not at the very least achieved an ATAR that equals the E12 ATAR for your chosen degree (in this case, an ATAR of 85 for the Bachelor of Commerce), I am afraid it is unlikely that you will be made an unconditional offer.
On the other hand, if you are expecting an unconditional offer for another degree/from a different university, it would be a good idea to place it as your highest eligible preference so that you meet that requirement, especially if you believe that you have a good chance of being made an unconditional offer for that degree.
I hope this helps!
