Access Scheme (2 Viewers)

[h_g]

hello, can someone tell me when i can apply for the ACCESS Scheme at UNSW? My school is listed under 'disadvantaged' so can apply but the site doesn't tell a date, or give a clear form or similar. Please any help is appreciated.

You have to apply and be qualified for EAS first.

If your school is under the list, it is automatic as UAC will send you a letter during Winter.

This is all a bit confusing, what do i need to have before i can apply? What is this UAC pin stuff? Is there a form available somewhere or something?

UAC will send you a letter in the latter half of the year, be patient.

Have a look at the booklet, all details are there.

The below link is the list of schools who will receive automatic EAS eligibility so be patient for the letter.

The letter is sent to you via check and change on UAC through correspondence when you log in. I got mine on 4 September last year for EAS acknowledgement for attending a disadvantaged school and EAS eligibility was received a day before HSC results. If you want to apply for other disadvantages be sure to read the booklet.

You should worry about studying tbh. Ask your school executive if so.

My desired course is physiotherapy at uws which requires 99.95 atar. I'm in a eas eligible school and it say you can receive a max of 10 bonus points. Does that mean I can get in if I get an atar of 90?

Yes, that cutoff includes bonus points.

What does it exactly mean by "max 10 bonus points"?

10 additional points to the actual atar you earnt. UAC sends you the atar for example 90.05 and the 10 bonus points from uac is added on so it would be 105.05. Since the maximum atar is 99.95, your atar for uws is 99.95.

Is it 10 bonus points for all unis for eas? For example acu?

Depends on the uni but it's rare to get 10 bonus points because there aren't many extreme cases out there. Try getting into courses without relying on bonus points tbh.

so for the disadvantaged school environment thing, how many bonus points will i get?
