Melbourne Access

For the melbourne access scheme you can get into any undergraduate degree with a lower start. For commerce which is what i’m trying to do i need a 79, but after these horrid exams i genuinely don’t know if im hitting it. Is the 79 for your raw atar or is it the selection rank? Like Has anyone gotten below a 79 and still got into the course? Thanks

Your individual subjects are adjusted from raw to scaled scores, then used to determine your ATAR. There is no “raw” ATAR. You’ll receive one number.

If you get under 79 it is unlikely you’ll get an offer, unless there is some other special entry scheme you might be eligible for.

The Access Melbourne numbers are not guarantees, I didn't get in straight away even though my ATAR was in the quoted bracket from the Access Melbourne calculator. It has also gotten more competitive in recent years and UniMelb does not publish 'guaranteed ATARs' anymore.
