The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is the primary criterion for domestic student entry into undergraduate courses in Australian public universities. It was gradually introduced to most states and territories in 2009–10 and has since replaced the Universities Admission Index, Equivalent National Tertiary Entrance Rank, Tertiary Entrance Rank and the Overall Position. It is a percentile ranking between 0.00 and 99.95 which shows the student’s relative position compared to all other students completing their secondary school certificate exams in that year. Though ATARs are calculated independently by each state, their equivalence is checked nationally through the Australasian Conference of Tertiary Admission Centres (ACTAC). Since some students quit studying early or do not qualify for an ATAR, the average ATAR amongst students who achieve one is 70.00. Admission to universities is granted based on the "selection rank" calculated by each university based on its own unique criteria. Selection ranks are a combination of ATAR, additional points based on universities' own criteria used for selecting students such as a "personal statement, a questionnaire, a portfolio of work, an audition, an interview or a test", as well as special considerations. Some universities also provide additional points on the basis of disadvantage such as for rural, Indigenous Australian or financially suffering applicants.
