ANU to accept students in 2021 based on year 11 results | fergushunter
The Australian National University will admit undergraduate students next year based on their year 11 results in a pre-emptive bid to provide certainty for 2500 school leavers whose studies have been thrown into disarray by the COVID-19 crisis.
"So students will have to complete their year 12 studies but this will give greater certainty ... They can focus on completing their studies, knowing that if their marks in year 11 meet our entry requirements, they can be admitted to one of the world’s best universities."Applications are open until May 25 and offers will be made in August. The university is urging students to use the April school holidays to apply.
ANU has confidence in the pre-emptive strategy because it had already introduced a new admissions process for students, starting this year, which takes into account earlier academic results, extracurricular activities and personal circumstances alongside ATARs.
