Early Entrance Guide 2024
Studyworkgrow have just released their 2024 Guide for University Early Entrance programs. This guide provides information about the different early entrance programs at universities around Australia in the different states.
Early entry is when you submit an application prior to the main round at the end of the year. You may in fact get an offer before your exams.
Some Universities will look at a combination of factors such as results, awards or achievements, letters of recommendation, auditions, portfolios and more to decide if they want to make you an offer.
