[Undergrad] EAS/SCATS/UES/SEAS General Discussion and Enquiries

If you meet the EAS/SEAS requirements, it's possible to repeater Year 12.
My son is a Year 12 repeater, and he's been approved by UAC. VTAC has requested additional documents, but approval is expected.
However, we anticipate that QTAC might not approve it. Since the EAS/SEAS approval criteria vary slightly by state, it's best to inquire directly.
Thanks for the reply. I can confirm you that QTAC also allows EAS for Year 12 repeaters. I was advised that applicants are eligible for EAS for QTAC as a Year 12 repeater. Also if you're son is applying to UQ Dentistry, subject bonuses will only apply if he's doing Specialist/Lote subjects currently as a Year 12 repeater but not if he only did it in the previous year.

UQ - UQ Dentistry: Admissions General Discussion
This is old data but SJT's are typically alot lower so may not be a screwed as you think... as long as you keep up the 7 GPA then you should be able to clutch it. 5 courses seems like a hard workload, is there any reason why youre doing that. I only took 3 courses instead of 4 in first semester...

I applied for EAS/SEAS and have a question regarding the process. I received an email from UAC about my EAS application approval approximately two weeks after applying, and SATAC provided the approval status when I called them. However, when I contacted VTAC, they told me that they do not inform students about the approval status of their SEAS application.
Is this true for those who have experience with VTAC?

Supposedly, if you apply for VTAC before the 20th of sept this year (which I now recognise has passed) they would let you know if the documents you upload has been accepted. I received this email on the 17th.
But last year, I did not receive any info about it whether it was accepted.
EDIT: did you get any confirmation from QTAC? How did you get this?

Note that this answer is subject to my guessing being correct, which is not guaranteed so best you check directly with UNSW.
I remember the capped number of 10 EAS places was before UNSW introduced the Gateway.
Based on a post in another thread it appears this 10-place cap is now the Gateway, whereas EAS applicants are now in the main stream. Being in the main stream means no longer an EAS cap

Does anyone know if I can get special consideration if none of my immediate family have been to uni?
As in I am the first person to go to uni in my immediate family.
Thanks.

Thanks.
I don’t believe so for UAC or Tas.

For VTAC, yes. Being the first person to go to uni is one of the categories for SEAS Category 1

For UAC’s EAS, if you qualify for more than one claim under the same circumstance (e.g., D01A and D01B), do you receive adjustment factors for both D01A and D01B? Or, since they fall under the same category of disrupted schooling, will they be counted as one, meaning qualifying for both won’t make a difference compared to qualifying for just D01A alone? Thank you

If I'm a gap year applicant who received a UES-adjusted selection rank through SATAC last year, will SATAC recalculate my adjusted selection rank using this year's SACE aggregate to ATAR conversion, adding the 5 SACE adjustment points to the updated score? Or will it remain the same? Currently, mySATAC shows my UES-adjusted selection rank as 99.95. I'm asking because if it were recalculated, my overall selection rank with the UES might change due to yearly variations in the SACE aggregate to ATAR conversion. Thank you for your help.
They likely will recalculate, but you're very safe.
Last year lowest aggregate for 99.95 was 89.3 so lowest needed was 84.3 (then +5 UES).
Your ATAR 99.0 was 86.95 last year. You have a big 2.65 buffer for any variations.

For med and dent course, selection rank isn't shown. So, only way to confirm my selection rank is to contact SATAC. How could you confirm your UES adjusted selection rank?
With UCAT 3000 () and ATAR predicted 99.90/95 (
) and a SEAS confirmed through VTAC assist me getting an interview for Monash do you think? (NSW based)
Hi SLM,
My son also applied to SEAS through VTAC, but when he called VTAC to ask about the result, they said they don't give results over the phone. How do you know your SEAS is confirmed?
