Your picks are stuck for the december round (coming out 23 december), but after that you can change them anytime before 2 Jan before more offers are released on 9 Jan

Guaranteed means guaranteed, so as long as you get over 90 (which you did) you have a place in that course if you apply

what did u want to do ?
I don't really know 100% yet, but I was looking at engineering at usyd which needs an 80 ATAR for most of those courses (I'm in a regional area so get access to the Regional and Remote Access scheme which means I only needed an 80 ATAR to get into those courses that usually require a 90). If only it stacked, I tick so many boxes for those admission pathways/factors.
But that's the #1 reason I'm taking a gap year, to figure out what the fuck I want to do at uni.

I should've dropped DT and Ancient and kept Chem and Ext Maths 😫

I wasn't even doing that poorly in Chem or Ext Maths, it's just that Ancient and DT were more interesting at the time (until they swapped to teachers that couldn't teach a HSC course).

Honestly, I should've done more research before dropping subjects (and studied more in general lmao)

guaranteed means that it doesn’t matter if there’s competition, you’ve got it. you’re over the threshold so there’s nothing to worry about
yes it still says underneath in small letters if there are spots available lol so im just thinking if they fill up with all the higher atar firsts ill be a lower priority. but thank u anyways ill keep it first preference just in case

it says lowest selection rank was 82.1 last year and the max u can receive for getting band 5/6 is 5 adjustment which puts u below the lowest last year. if there are other ways u think u can make it keep it first even if u dont just keep it first u never know just have good backups
