Bonus points may also be awarded on the basis of outstanding performance in a nominated range of HSC or IB subjects.

If you meet the Advantage 1 (UWS Regional Bonus) criteria, you will be automatically considered for an Early Offer if your UAI equals or exceeds the 2008 cut-off for the UWS course to which you seek admission.
