Frequently asked questions
- Is 80.00 the ATAR my child needs for Bachelor of Economics at ANU?
- Not exactly. 80.00 was the lowest selection rank that received an offer for the 2026 intake. A selection rank is the ATAR plus any adjustment factors (for example subject, equity or regional adjustments), so some students were offered a place with a raw ATAR below 80.00. It is a guide to competition for that intake, not a guaranteed entry score, and it changes each year.
