Accepting an offer to a lower course preference doesn't stop you from being considered for your higher course preferences in later offer rounds.
Most offers to Year 12 applicants will be made after ATARs are released in December, but there are many offer rounds throughout the year. Check the international key dates for the details of all offer rounds. Your courses are considered in the order you have listed them in your application. However, each institution you have applied to will consider your application separately.
Therefore, you can receive an offer to your highest preference at each institution included in your application if you are eligible and competitive enough.
For example, if you list six courses, all for Western Sydney University, in your application, you will only receive one offer — from Western Sydney University — to the highest course listed for which you are eligible and competitive enough. If you list six courses, three for Macquarie University and three for the University of Newcastle, you will receive two offers — one to the highest course listed at Macquarie University for which you are eligible and competitive enough, and one to the highest course listed at the University of Newcastle for which you are eligible and competitive enough.
An unconditional offer means you are eligible to enrol in a specified course of study. To receive an unconditional offer to a course you must have it in your list of courses when offers are made. You must also have a selection rank or equivalent equal to or higher than the final selection rank for admission to the course, and have met any other course entry requirements.
Read more about unconditional offers. Approximately 48 hours after you have applied through UAC, you'll receive a conditional offer of admission which lists all the courses for which you've applied. You can use a conditional offer of admission as part of you pre-visa assessment, if required, but it does not mean you are eligible to enrol in a course of study.
To be eligible to enrol in a course of study, you need to receive an unconditional offer, meet the minimum admission requirements of the institution and compete against other applicants for a place.

If I receive an offer, can I defer my enrolment? How and when do I accept my offer? What should I do if I am away for enrolment? Who decides who receives an offer? So, even if you submitted your application early on, you might be waiting for months. It depends on the university. Others may check applications regularly without any fixed dates in place, reviewing them as they go along.
For some courses, you might get invited to an interview, after which you'll be offered a place or rejected. If you do, then the university will only offer you a place or reject your application once the interview has been completed.
What you can do to make sure your application is checked on time The most important thing to do is to submit your application before the deadline. This means that even though your application has been completed early , you are unlikely to get offers within weeks of applying. This does not mean, however, that you will not have your offers by the end of March, which is when Universities aim to make all of their offers to prospective students.
Another component of a University application which may affect the time taken for your chosen University to respond to your offer is an interview. Clearly, if the University that you have applied to has an interview process, they will not be able to make you an offer before this has taken place. Your performance in the interview can have a large impact on your chance of getting into your dream University.
Interviews should be seen as an opportunity to show your interest in and knowledge of your chosen subject, and so you should aim to use them as a chance to show your enthusiasm. Individual Universities will have different application processes, and will likely expect different things from your interview. Advice on how to perform your absolute best in interviews can be found on individual University websites. Again, the time taken to make offers to applicants after the interviewing process is dependent on the University and how it chooses to operate.
For example, if you are applying to Cambridge University, you can find advice on interviews here. The way in which the timeline for applicants varies should also be considered between Universities.
Unfortunately, you will not hear from Cambridge about their decision until January the end of January at the latest , so it can feel like a long wait! Another example of a University who conduct interviews is Oxford University. Again, advice on interviews can be found here. The latest that they can respond to applicants is the in early May. If all of your University choice have replied to your application by the end of March, the UCAS deadline for responding to your offers is in May.
However, allowances are obviously made for students who have not received all of their offers by this date. You cannot respond to your University offers until all of them have been made, and so it is important that you are patient. You can withdraw your application if you would like, but I would not recommend doing so.
For those students who have not heard from all their Universities by the end of March, you will have to be patient! The same is true when you have receive an offer.
UCAS will email you to let you know that there has been a change to your application, and when you log onto UCAS Track, your application and offer details will be available to you. UCAS Track will show you all of the details of your offer. These may include:. Additionally, Universities may get in contact with you directly via email to let them know you have an offer, and to promote their University further and provide you with any additional information which you may need.
