### Course entry requirements

Some courses have prerequisities alongside an ATAR, such as a specific score in a maths subject or they may require a portfolio submission and interview. However, some courses may not use the ATAR as part of the entry requirements at all.

### Course competitiveness

Some courses are in high demand, attracting many applicants for limited spots. A higher ATAR can increase your chances of admission, but you must still meet all other entry requirements.

### Personal goals

A good ATAR is one that helps you pursue your passions and sets you on a path towards achieving your future ambitions.
