About This Podcast

We got a VTAC expert, a careers adviser and a current student together in a room and asked them: what do you wish Year 12s knew before applying to uni? This tell-all podcast is packed with insider intel to help you navigate the VTAC process, increase your chances of offers, and get more for your ATAR. Each episode takes you through a different step on the journey to uni, from getting through Year 12 exams to applying for courses and adjusting VTAC preferences.
