Possibly. If there are spots left, then in the Second Round Offers, you may have a chance of getting in.

Otherwise, you will have to go into a similar Course, and then get a transfer to the Course you originally wanted to get into. :)

Alright, im assuming transfers can be done after the first semester is completed? Does it matter if you want to transfer Universities as well?

Keep in mind, you will need to work very hard, and get Ds and even HDs for your Units. I think you need to do a full year of study to be considered for most Unis to prove yourself, not just one semester.

You can transfer to other Unis as well, just as long as there is a spot for you and your grades meet their standards and expectations. :)

it depends. go on vtac and search it up and look at the middle band :) You may be eligible for some bonus points, and could therefore get into your course despite getting a little less than required. You shouldnt be thinking that you wont get into your course anyways, especially immediately before your exams :) have faith. you may well surprise yourself!

You cant transfer into another university unless you've done one full semester. Think about it, if you could, you'd wind up 6 weeks in/half way through whatever that university is running, it just wouldn't work.

Some degrees have mid-year entry, some don't. It's often easier to transfer after a full year since they look at your VCE marks much less compared to after only a semester.

Now really isn't the time to be predicting marks when you actually have a chance to affect that by studying :p .
