What do you mean about the timeframe?
According to the website I linked.
Quote from: Monash
Offers will be made from mid-December and throughout January and February
My understanding is most will happen in mid-December but because preferences change, the scholarship may not be fully confirmed until February.

Hi! The ATAR needed for the bachelor of psychology (honours) is 85. My ATAR is 87, does this mean that I'll definitely get an offer into the course or does it just increase my chances of receiving an offer? Is it possible I don't get an offer despite achieving a higher ATAR than needed?

Thanks! :)

If 85 is the clearly in (last year) it is very likely that you will recieve an offer.

Clearly ins can change year by year so that would be the only obstacle, however I would be suprised if it went over 87. Even then it would still be possible with an atar below the clearly in for 2nd round offers or first tound offers with bonus points or SEAS if you have them.

Hope this helps

Hey guys!

I was just wondering, will the ATAR requirement be higher than 98 this year for Arts/Law at Monash?
I got 98.1 this morning, and I'm freaking out!!!

Will they accept me or will the ATAR requirement go up?
How likely is this to happen?

I'd really appreciate a response!

Thank you so much everyone! :)

Don't worry. Although ATAR clearly-ins change yearly, they often don't move much for something like the BA/Law.
Remember SEAS or subject bonuses might carry you that bit forward in the right direction, so you've still got a very good chance. :)

Its been set at 98 for quite while now so I think it wont go up and a large proportion of students are accepted below the clearly ins anyway for 2 d rounders and seas/bonus points.

(although possible to go up  if there is a very high demand for it this year)

What differences are there between bachelor of biomedical science and bachelor of science degree majoring in a biological science? I've heard that biomedical science limits your options more but can't find any information about this.
I'm interested in a double degree of engineering with one of the two science degrees but I'm not sure which one will be more suited for me.

If you look at the course handbook you'll be able to see the specific differences. The level of detail in here may be overwhelming, so let us know if you're having trouble understanding it

Here's the link to science and engineering: http://monash.edu.au/pubs/2019handbooks/courses/E3007.html

Hope this helps :)

It's very unlikely to go up - although last year you needed to have a score that was above 98 AFTER subject bonuses and SEAS otherwise you couldn't get in if your ATAR wasn't at 98 after adjustments.

Also if you look here it does say that the indicative ATAR for Law or Arts/Law should stay at 98 for 2019.

I really want to get into the Monash law/art course but the atar requirement is too high for me. I only got a 96.4 atar and I don’t see any chance of getting into my first preference...Is it possible that if I enroll in art then transfer into law? If so, will the requirements be hard to achieve? And when can I start applying for course transfer once I get into uni?

There was a recent post about this, which you can read over here. There's actually multiple ways you can eventually do law, if not immediately.

Hey! My first preference has a lowest selection rank of 97.90 (radiography), and I received an email a few days ago saying I’m eligible for the Monash guarantee which has a score of 90. The ATAR I received is 96.05 and I satisfy all the prerequisites, is there a guarantee that I will get accepted ? I’m actually not very sure on what the Monash Guarantee means, is it just a higher chance of getting accepted or is it definite? Thanks!

I can't say whether it's just a higher chance or definite because different sources state slightly different things. For example:  The last question on left column of the final page of this brochure basically says "yeah, it's a guarantee" (i.e. definite). Meanwhile, the Monash Guarantee site unfortunately is a bit more vague and states "eligible" rather than a definite position. 
Either way, you're almost definitely in a safe position for Radiography, so you don't have to worry. :)

Thanks for the help! What are the job prospects like for a double degree with both degrees?
