For starters, constant panicking will
actually get you nowhere. Whilst you are entitled to disappointment or distress (I'm there way more often than not), blaming just a four-digit number on "what to do with your life anymore" isn't going to achieve much.
As essentially implied above, you first need to not give up. The past years' statistics just tell you what happened
in past years, not what will happen this year. You have done the best you could, and at this point all you can do is count on the possibility of having enough. You have already applied for your bonus points and there's nothing you can do to change anything else now.
Then, whilst pathways can be annoying,
you should NEVER be disregarding it. All that crap on pathways being not-worthwhile is bullshit, because
some pathways are better than others. In your case, because you're trying to enter a business degree at UNSW, an arguably
GOOD pathway is to just put up with information systems for a year and then transfer in. Reason? You can literally do a bunch of courses that overlap into both.
And you waste very little to negligible time because of it.Or, you could take the gamble with a different university. But I won't talk about that, because I'm not the biggest advocate of that method (although it works).
Your question isn't stupid. It's a perfectly valid response when you're hit with marks you don't want to see. But as harsh as it sounds, the only actual detriment to your life is if you continuously dwell on it without hoping for the best and being prepared to take alternatives. Especially since some alternatives actually aren't useless.
I apologise if this comes out exceedingly painful, but there isn't any other way to put it
