I have received an offer from another university, but am waiting to see if Flinders offers me my higher preference. Should I accept the lower preference just in case I don't get an offer from Flinders?

Your preferences should include any and all courses for which you would accept an offer to study. While we’d love for you to study with us, if you get an offer to a lower preference at another university, you should accept the offer. However, when accepting the offer, remember to indicate that you still wish to be considered for your higher Flinders University preference(s). This will ensure you secure a place in a course you want to study, while keeping your options open.
