📚 VCE Results: A Guide to Changing Preferences and University Offers | VCE成绩公布后的大学志愿修改与录取指南
Receiving your VCE results and ATAR is a pivotal moment. The weeks that follow are crucial for refining your university preferences to maximise your chances of receiving an offer for a course you truly want.
收到 VCE 成绩和 ATAR 是一个关键的时刻。接下来的几周对于调整你的大学志愿、最大化获得心仪课程录取的机会至关重要。
1. Reading Your VCE Results and ATAR | 读懂你的VCE成绩与ATAR
Each VCE subject produces a study score between 0 and 50, showing how you performed relative to others. The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is then calculated, placing you on a percentile scale from 0 to 99.95. An ATAR of 70.00 means you outperformed 70% of the state cohort.
每门 VCE 科目会给出一个介于 0 到 50 之间的学习分数（study score），反映你相对于其他学生的表现。然后计算出 ATAR（澳大利亚高校入学排名），将你置于从 0 到 99.95 的百分位尺度上。ATAR 70.00 意味着你的表现超过了全州 70% 的学生。
Do not confuse the ATAR with a percentage mark. It is a rank designed for university selection. You can access your results and ATAR through the VTAC account, and you will need these numbers for every decision that follows.
不要把 ATAR 当成百分制分数。它是一个用于大学选拔的排名。你可以通过 VTAC 账户查询成绩和 ATAR，而后续的每一个决定都需要用到这些数字。
2. How Uni Offers Work via VTAC | VTAC大学录取如何运作
The Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) administers course applications for most Victorian universities. You list up to eight preferences in order, and VTAC's system matches your ATAR and any adjustment factors against each course's requirements. You will only receive one offer per round — the highest preference for which you are eligible.
维多利亚州高校招生中心（VTAC）负责管理大多数维州大学的课程申请。你按顺序列出最多八个志愿，VTAC 系统会将你的 ATAR 和任何调整因素与每个课程的要求进行匹配。你每轮只会收到一个录取通知——即你有资格获得的最高志愿。
If you satisfy the requirements for your first preference, that is the offer you will receive. If not, VTAC checks your second preference, and so on. This is why the order of preferences matters enormously after you know your ATAR.
如果你满足第一志愿的条件，你将收到该课程的录取。如果不满足，VTAC 会检查你的第二志愿，依此类推。因此，在拿到 ATAR 之后，志愿顺序变得极为重要。
3. What Is the Change of Preference Period? | 什么是志愿修改期？
After VCE results are released, VTAC opens a Change of Preference (CoP) window. During this period, you can reorder, add, or remove courses from your preference list. It is the most practical way to align your application with the actual ATAR you achieved, rather than the ATAR you predicted months earlier.
VCE 成绩公布后，VTAC 会开启志愿修改期（Change of Preference）。在此期间，你可以重新排列志愿顺序，增添或删除课程。这是根据实际取得的 ATAR 来调整申请的最佳方式，而不是依赖几个月前预测的 ATAR。
The CoP period usually lasts a couple of weeks, with deadlines tied to specific offer rounds. Missing the deadline for a round could mean missing out on an offer in that round entirely.
志愿修改期通常持续一两周，其截止日期与具体的录取轮次挂钩。错过某轮次的截止日期，可能意味着完全错过那一轮的录取。
4. Timelines: Key Dates for a Typical Year | 时间线：典型年份的关键日期
While dates shift slightly each year, the general rhythm is consistent. VCE results and ATARs are released in mid-December. The Change of Preference window for January Round 1 usually closes in late December, often around the 20th. January offers are then released in early- to mid-January, followed by subsequent rounds.
虽然每年的日期会有微调，但整体节奏是一致的。VCE 成绩和 ATAR 通常在 12 月中旬公布。第一轮 1 月录取的志愿修改窗口往往在 12 月下旬关闭，通常在 20 日前后。随后，1 月录取通知会在 1 月上旬至中旬发布，接着还会有后续轮次。
Always check the VTAC website for the official schedule. Set reminders for every deadline: CoP close dates, offer release times, and the deadlines to accept an offer, which can be as short as a few days.
务必查看 VTAC 官网获取官方时间表。为每个截止日期设置提醒：志愿修改关闭日、录取发布时间以及接受录取的截止时间，后者可能短至数天。
5. Analysing Clearly-In ATARs and Prerequisites | 分析最低录取ATAR与先决条件
The 'clearly-in' ATAR is the rank at which all eligible applicants received an offer in a previous year. It is a guide, not a guarantee, but it helps you gauge whether your ATAR is competitive. Some courses publish a selection rank profile showing the lowest ATAR to receive an offer, the median, and adjustment factors applied.
“明确录取 ATAR”（clearly-in）是指上一年所有符合条件的申请者都获得录取的排名。它只是一个参考，不是保证，但能帮助你判断自己的 ATAR 是否有竞争力。一些课程会公布选拔排名画像（selection rank profile），展示获得录取的最低 ATAR、中位数以及调整因素的使用情况。
Also verify any prerequisite studies, such as Units 3 and 4 in specific subjects, and minimum study scores you must have achieved. A high ATAR without the required prerequisites will not secure an offer.
还要核实任何先决条件，比如特定科目的第 3 和第 4 单元，以及必须达到的最低学习分数。ATAR 高但没有满足先决条件，也无法获得录取。
6. Strategies for Reordering Your Preferences | 重排志愿的策略
The golden rule is to keep your dream course as first preference, even if your ATAR is somewhat below the clearly-in. Selection ranks can fluctuate, and you have nothing to lose by trying. Your second and third preferences should be courses you are genuinely interested in and have a solid chance of entering, based on last year's cut-off data.
黄金法则是将梦寐以求的课程保留在第一志愿，即使你的 ATAR 略低于明确录取线。选拔排名会波动，尝试一下没有损失。第二和第三志愿应该是你真正感兴趣、且根据去年录取数据有较稳入选机会的课程。
Never place a course you would not accept above one you would. If you receive an offer for a course higher on the list, you will not be considered for those below it. Use a safety course as your eighth preference — one with a clearly-in ATAR well below yours, which you would still be happy to study.
永远不要把你不愿意接受的课程排在你愿意的课程之上。如果你收到了排列更靠前课程的录取，就不会再被排列靠后的课程考虑了。用一个保底课程作为第八志愿——其明确录取 ATAR 远低于你，并且你仍然乐意就读。
7. Adding, Removing or Swapping Courses | 增删或调换志愿课程
During the CoP window, you can completely redesign your list. Perhaps a new course has opened up, or you want to apply for a regional campus with lower demand. Removing a course is straightforward, but ensure you only discard options you truly do not want.
在志愿修改期间，你可以完全重新设计你的志愿清单。也许新开设了一个课程，或者你想申请录取竞争较小的地区校区课程。删除课程操作简单，但要确保只移除你确实不想去的选项。
Swapping the order is the most common change. Use the drag-and-drop function in the VTAC user account to prioritise courses. After making changes, always review the final list and double-check that you meet all prerequisites for each course still on your list.
调换顺序是最常见的修改。在 VTAC 用户账户中使用拖放功能来优先排序课程。修改完毕后，一定要检查最终列表，并再次确认你仍然满足列表上每一课的 所有先决条件。
8. Using SEAS and Adjustment Factors | 利用SEAS与调整因素
The Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) allows universities to consider disadvantage in your application. Categories include financial hardship, medical conditions, rural or remote location, and more. If you applied through SEAS, adjustment points may already be reflected as an increased selection rank on your VTAC account.
特殊入学通道（SEAS）允许大学在审理申请时考虑不利处境。类别包括经济困难、健康状况、农村或偏远地区等。如果你通过 SEAS 申请了，调整分数可能已经反映在你 VTAC 账户上，显示为调整后的选拔排名。
Not all courses participate equally in SEAS, and the bonus points vary. Use your adjusted selection rank — not your raw ATAR — when comparing to clearly-in ATARs. Similarly, subject-based adjustment factors (e.g., bonus points for high achievements in relevant subjects) should be accounted for.
并非所有课程都同等参与 SEAS，且加分幅度各不相同。在对比明确录取 ATAR 时，应使用你的调整后选拔排名，而非原始 ATAR。同样，基于科目的调整因素（例如在相关科目取得优异成绩的加分）也应被考虑进去。
9. Special Advice for International Students | 国际学生特别建议
International VCE students usually apply through VTAC, but offers may be governed by separate international quotas and slightly different timelines. Some universities also require you to apply directly alongside your VTAC application. Always read the international admission section for each course carefully.
国际 VCE 学生通常通过 VTAC 申请，但录取可能受单独的国际名额配额和略有不同的时间安排约束。一些大学还要求你在 VTAC 申请的同时直接向学校申请。务必仔细阅读每个课程的国际招生说明。
English language requirements may still apply, even if you studied English in VCE. Check if your EAL study score fulfils the university's minimum or if an IELTS/TOEFL score is needed. Do not let an English condition catch you off guard after an offer.
即使你在 VCE 中学习了英语，英语语言要求可能仍然适用。请核实你的 EAL 学习分数是否满足大学的最低要求，或者是否需要提供雅思/托福成绩。不要等收到录取通知后，又被英语条件打个措手不及。
10. After an Offer: Accepting, Deferring or Rejecting | 收到录取后：接受、推迟或拒绝
When an offer appears in your VTAC account, you will have a strict deadline to respond. Most domestic students accept online through VTAC, while international students may be directed to the university's own portal. If you accept an offer in round one but hope for a better one in a later round, you will typically not receive another offer in that same year for a higher preference.
当 VTAC 账户中出现录取通知时，你会有一个严格的回复截止期限。大多数国内学生通过 VTAC 在线接受，而国际学生可能会被引导至大学自身的门户网站。如果你在第一轮接受了一个录取，但又希望在后一轮获得更好的录取，通常你在同一年内不会再收到更高志愿的录取。
You can apply to defer your offer for up to a year, usually by contacting the university directly after accepting. This is helpful for gap year plans. If you decide the course is not for you, reject the offer to free up the place for someone else, but be certain—you cannot undo a rejection.
你可以申请推迟入学长达一年，通常是在接受录取后直接联系大学。这对间隔年计划很有帮助。如果你确定这个课程不适合你，可以拒绝录取，为他人腾出名额，但要慎重——拒绝操作无法撤销。
11. What If No Offer Arrives? Pathways and Reapplying | 如果没有录取？路径与再申请
Not receiving an offer in the early rounds is not the end of the road. Later offer rounds continue into February and March. Keep your preferences updated: as places become available, you may still be selected. Consider alternative pathways such as TAFE/VET courses, foundation studies, or a related degree with a transfer possibility after one year.
在早期轮次没有收到录取并不是末路。后续录取轮次会一直持续到 2 月和 3 月。保持你的志愿更新：随着名额放出，你仍可能被选中。考虑替代路径，例如 TAFE/VET 课程、预科课程，或者先读一个相关学位并在一年后转专业。
You can also reapply through VTAC for mid-year intake or the following year. Use the time to improve your qualifications, retake subjects, or build work experience. Many successful students reach their goal course this way.
你还可以通过 VTAC 再次申请年中入学或次年入学。利用这段时间提升资格、重考科目或积累工作经验。许多成功的学生正是通过这种方式最终进入了目标课程。
12. Staying Calm and Making Informed Decisions | 保持冷静，做出明智决定
The period between ATAR release and offers is stressful, but panicked decisions often lead to regret. Talk to career advisors, university liaison officers, and family. Attend university open days or online info sessions that run during the CoP window to ask specific questions about courses.
ATAR 公布到录取结果发布这段时间令人焦虑，但慌乱的决定往往会导致后悔。与职业顾问、大学联络官和家人交流。参加志愿修改期间举办的大学开放日或在线信息说明会，针对课程提出具体问题。
Make a shortlist based on genuine interest, career alignment, and realistic entry chances. Trust the process, but be proactive. Your ATAR is just one factor—your drive, clarity of purpose, and willingness to explore pathways can carry you further than any number.
根据真实兴趣、职业匹配度和现实的入学机会列出一个候选清单。相信这个流程，但也要积极主动。你的 ATAR 仅仅是一个因素——你的驱动力、明确的目标以及探索路径的意愿，能带你走得更远。
