Official Deakin University Selection Rank & Adjustment Rules
- Selection Rank vs ATAR: Your selection rank equals your raw ATAR plus eligible VTAC adjustment factors. Deakin makes course offers based on Selection Rank, not raw ATAR alone.
- Regional Access Scheme: Applicants who completed Year 12 in a regional school or apply for Geelong (Waurn Ponds / Waterfront) or Warrnambool courses receive up to +4.0 adjustment points.
- Subject Adjustment Points: Achieving a raw VCE study score of 35 or above in relevant discipline subjects adds up to +3.0 points.
- Compulsory English Prerequisite: An ATAR above the cutoff will not result in an offer if you do not meet the minimum English prerequisite (raw 25 in English/Literature or 30 in EAL).
What is a Deakin Selection Rank and How is It Calculated?
When applying to Deakin University through VTAC, courses do not evaluate students on raw ATAR alone. Instead, admissions are determined by your Selection Rank.
Deakin Selection Rank = Raw ATAR + Regional Access Bonus + Subject Adjustments + SEAS Equity Points.
