Frequently asked questions
- Is the 99 ATAR cutoff a guarantee of a place?
- No. A cutoff is the ATAR (or selection rank) of the last student offered a place in a given year, so it is a guide, not a guarantee. It moves year to year with demand, and adjustment factors or an access scheme can lift a student's selection rank above their raw ATAR. Always check UAC and the UNSW Sydney course page for the current year.
- What if my child's ATAR is below 99?
- A lower ATAR rarely closes a career permanently. Adjustment factors, early or guaranteed entry, a TAFE-to-university pathway, an enabling program, or starting a related degree and transferring can all lead to the same place. See our guide to pathways when the result is lower than hoped.
Cutoffs are for New South Wales admission via UAC and change each year. Always confirm the current figure with UAC and UNSW Sydney.
