The majority of Queensland’s top-performing school-leavers have chosen Õ¬Äе¼º½ as their first preference for 2014.
Õ¬Äе¼º½ had 504 first-preference applications from Queensland school-leavers with OP1 scores as at 13 January.
This represents 72 per cent of all Queensland OP1 school-leaver university applicants.
A second round of offers will be made through the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) on 6 February, and students have until midnight 30 January to change their preferences.
Õ¬Äе¼º½ President and Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Høj said the OP1 first preference applications to Õ¬Äе¼º½ had increased six per cent on last year’s figure and was the highest for any tertiary institution in Queensland.
“This shows that Õ¬Äе¼º½, one of the world’s top 100 universities, continues to be a drawcard for high-calibre applicants, in particular Queensland school leavers with the highest possible OP score of OP1,” Professor Høj said.
“Each year we welcome talented and high-achieving students to Õ¬Äе¼º½, regardless of their social or financial background, and we are pleased to continue that tradition in 2014.”
The second round of QTAC applications closed on 22 January, but applicants still have until 30 January to change or add preferences.
“Õ¬Äе¼º½ has already offered almost 11,000 students the opportunity to study at Õ¬Äе¼º½ through the 16 January round and we are looking forward to offering more students the chance to take a step towards becoming Õ¬Äе¼º½ graduates,” Professor Høj said.
“Õ¬Äе¼º½ provides students the opportunity to improve their leadership skills, gain global experience and pique their interest in discovery.”
“Our graduates are highly sought after by employers and are known as outstanding contributors to society.
