## Entry to Macquarie, tailor-made for you

We recognise that students have different strengths, interests and personal circumstances.

At Macquarie, we recognise that your ATAR doesn't necessarily reflect your achievements or potential, so we look at a variety of criteria. This includes your academic results in relevant HSC subjects, community engagement, previous study or work experience, and more.

### Early entry schemes

Enjoy the confidence that comes with securing your spot at uni early, based on more than just an ATAR.

### Pathway programs

Everyone's journey to Macquarie is different. Find the path into uni that suits your experiences and your needs.

Before Next Step I never thought I would have what it takes to get into university. Within my first week of university I realised how much more potential I had.
