The first of these sees ANU (Australian National University, Canberra) opening applications from March 4^th for students to apply directly. Applications close in May and students may receive “conditional offers” in August.

“In 2020 ANU will welcome the first cohort of students under a new national admissions process. Our new admissions model will look beyond ATAR scores to consider a student’s all-round character and will be unique in its focus on holistic student assessment.”
