SarcasticFairy wrote: » Em, I'm not completely sure how it works, but like 10-15% of places are kept for non traditional students, like mature students and HEAR applicants. I'm pretty sure there must be some form of competition between the HEAR applicants, because otherwise they wouldn't require so much info and the personal statements (or is personal statements TAP?! I don't know). I doubt if you apply through HEAR and just get the requirements you are automatically eligible for a place, I assume there's some competition, although not necessarily based on the points you get. Hmm, I assume they calculate how much of a point reduction you get based on your financial situation, and therefore the worse off you are, the more likely you are to get a place. I don't even know if that makes sense, I'm just speculating.
