VTAC Popularity Polls

Each year Finance and Planning publishes an analysis of the preference popularity poll data from the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC). This analysis looks primarily at first and total preferences. Finance and Planning publishes this information 3 times for each cohort, based on the release cycle from VTAC (outlined below):

(i) In late October VTAC releases data for timely non-current year 12 applicants (after change of preference) and timely year 12 applicants (prior to change of preference). This is known as entry time 1.

(ii) In late December VTAC releases data for all non-current year 12 applicants after change of preference and year 12 applicants after change of preference (not including IB and WA applicants). This is known as entry time 3.

(iii) In early January VTAC releases final data for all applicants including IB and WA after change of preference. This is known as final data.

These reports are available to selected University of Melbourne staff, downloadable in Excel spreadsheet format (prior to 2005 they were available in PDF format).

Similar analysis is available for years prior to 2004, by contacting Finance and Planning.
