EARLY ENTRY FOR 2021 | STUDY WORK GROW
What is Early Entry?
   GET AN OFFER BEFORE YOUR FINAL EXAMS

   Some Universities and Tertiary Admissions Centres (TACs) have
   programs that allow you to apply earlier in the year.

   You could receive a conditional (or guaranteed) offer before you've sat
   your finals and well before the main December and January offer rounds
   (when the majority of your cohort will get their offers).

   NOTE: There are programs and courses e.g. Medicine or Teaching
   where you'll have to apply early but you won't receive an offer before
   the ATAR release date.

   These options have been excluded from our Early Entry Guide and
   we've focused on those where you could receive an offer before the
   main December offer round.

   Important

   We've researched as many details as possible and contact universities
   directly for the information in this guide. However, some universities
   haven't been able to publish or confirm application dates for 2020 yet.

   We'll publish an updated version of our Early Entry Guide later in 2020,
   and if you'd like to apply for a program in the mean time, we'd urge you
   to do your own research or contact the future students department of
   your chosen university directly.

Make Year 12 a bit easier
    IS EARLY ENTRY AN OPTION FOR YOU?

    You could be eligible to apply for an early offer if you:

    • Have great marks
    • Are active in your community
    • Have achieved in sport
    • Your school will recommend you
    • Are an artist, musician, or actor
    • Have leadership experience
    • Come from a disadvantaged background
    • Are a rural applicant

    Not every university offers Early Entry Programs, and they all have
    different requirements and application criteria, which is why the
    research team at Study Work Grow have found out everything you need
    to know and put it in this simple guide.

    You may need to apply soon, well before you do your final exams.

    Then the uni will use a combination of factors including your results, any
    awards or achievements you've received, test results, auditions,
    portfolios and more to decide if they want to make you an early offer.

Give yourself one less thing
    to worry about
    STRESS LESS AND FOCUS ON YOUR
    EXAMS, KNOWING YOU'VE GOT A PLACE
    TO GO ONCE SCHOOL IS OVER

    Things you need to know:

       Your offer will probably be 'conditional', which means you'll still need to
       get an ATAR and fulfil all the requirements to keep your spot

       You could receive an offer before you even sit an exam, but some offers
       won't come out until the ATARs are released, so check your dates

       Getting an early offer can help you plan where you're going to live and
       possibly work with more certainty

       You don't have to take the offer. It's optional, so you can choose to treat it
       as a back up if you like

    Most of the Early Entry programs are FREE to apply for, and many of them
    come with attached scholarship programs, so why not give it a go?
