First round offers (2 Viewers)

[pritnep]

Once you accept an offer that is it no more offers as you have decided what you want to do, so it would be pointless sending out more offers.

If you want to study MedSci, then put it as your first preference. However, if you get an offer for communication in the main round then accept this in case you don't get a later offer for medsci. If you do get a later offer for medsci, you can withdraw from communication and accept medsci. Just make sure medsci is your first preference.

i thought that you will not get aanother offer when if u accept the first offer?

i was planning to do what u said.. i until i read the UAC site

Should I accept my offer? I might receive another offer in the next round
If you receive an offer in one round, don't assume that you will receive another offer in a subsequent round. If you don't accept your offer and you don't receive an offer in a subsequent round, you may miss out on being able to study at a tertiary institution in 2007. Accepting an offer does not stop you from being considered in subsequent offer rounds unless it is your first preference (see below). You must accept your offer by the date indicated in your offer material otherwise you may lose your offer.

my first preference is
1sr USYD archi,
2nd is UNSW archi
and i kind of hope to get into UNSW now...after reading some info

Do I need to change my preferences between offer rounds? No, not unless you have changed your mind about what you wish to study. If you receive an offer to your first preference in one offer round you will not be considered for your lower preferences in subsequent offer rounds unless you change your preferences. If you receive an offer to a lower preference in an offer round, you will automatically be considered for your higher preference/s in subsequent rounds

soo if i suddenly decide UNSW is the uni for me,
and i get a USYD offer, and i accept it (just incase)
can i change my preferences, for the secound round to
1st UNSW archi and 2nd USYD

if that doesnt work.. i'll put
1st LAW (i'll never get into this)
2nd UNSW archi


can anyone confirm?

in the main round, if you are offered comm... the best thing to do is accept the offer (if not, you may risk not going to uni at all)

then u will have to change ur preferences and put med sci as number One so it will be considered in the later rounds. we can't really tell you if you will get an offer.. but there is a chance... if this is the case.. you will then be able to withdraw from the comm course and enrol into the medical science course.

goodluck, hope you end up gettinig it in the main round

What we've been told by our careers advisor and makes sense based on the information on the UAC website -

Accept your first offer, otherwise you may not be able to go to uni at all this year. Change your preferences, go and enrol and do all the necessary things for your first offer, then if you happen to get an offer into your new first preference, then that's good - you can accept it, unenrol in your first course and enrol in the new one. If you don't, look for a transfer at some stage - if you're well above the cutoff and get reasonable marks in your first semester you should be successful.

i hope your right. so all i have to do is accept my first round and change my 2nd preference to my first 1
then i will be considered for an offeR?

it scares me that schools have given such a lack of information on this kind of thing

 

[hellomike]

The schools don't feel obliged to have to do so like I remember two years ago, the careers advisor handed those UAC books and he told us to read them and look through and that was really it. Having to worry about this UAC stuff and the final exams... bleh.

 

[halloween98]
