The six applicants have the following selection ranks:</p> <table class="table table-hover"><thead><tr><th scope="col">Applicant</th><th scope="col">Selection rank</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><th scope="row">1</th><td>89.00 (ATAR of 89.00)</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">2</th><td>88.00 (ATAR of 87.00 plus adjustment of 1 point)</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">3</th><td>87.00 (ATAR of 83.00 plus adjustment of 4 points)</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">4</th><td>86.00 (ATAR of 86.00)</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">5</th><td>85.00 (ATAR of 83.00 plus adjustment of 2 points)</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">6</th><td>84.00 (ATAR of 84.00)</td></tr></tbody></table> <p>Offers will be made to applicants 1, 2 and 3. Applicant 4 won’t receive an offer, even with an ATAR higher than applicant 3, and applicant 3 will receive an offer even though their ATAR is below the lowest selection rank.

Check individual institution websites for details. </p> <h5>Minimum ATAR requirements</h5> <p>The Australian National University specifies that applicants must achieve a minimum ATAR of 70.00 before they are eligible for EAS consideration.<br /></p> <p>This means that even if your EAS eligibility for this institutions is ‘Yes’, you must meet the minimum ATAR requirement to be given EAS consideration.<br /></p> <h5>Exclusions of types of circumstances</h5> <p>Some institutions will not give EAS consideration for certain circumstances.
