What is a Selection Rank?
A selection rank is a numerical value used by tertiary institutions to assess an applicant’s suitability for a specific course. It is derived from various criteria, including academic achievements and other factors like adjustments for certain circumstances. The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is often mistaken for the selection rank, but they are distinct. The ATAR is an achievement measure indicating how a student performed relative to their peers. This ATAR value is then converted into a selection rank, which may or may not include additional adjustments.
The minimum selection threshold refers to the lowest adjusted score (rank) necessary to receive an offer for a place in a tertiary course. In the past, this was commonly known as the 'cut-off'.
What is EAS?
The Educational Access Scheme (EAS) helps QTAC applicants whose recent study was impacted by financial or personal challenges.
