How helpful is access UoM?

[Vicbelgaus]

So i received an atar of 81.8, which is 4 marks below my desired course which is a bachelor of Environments at the UoM. However because i have SEAS (For a permanent hearing disability and going to an underrepresented school) i was wondering if it is still possible that i will get in my course through the benefits of Access UoM?

Very helpful. The ACCESS MELBOURNE score for 2015 is only 78.

The 78 guarantee is only if you're from a rural area or disadvantaged financial background, so it may not apply here.  This is from the website:

The University guarantees admission to eligible applicants in these Access Melbourne categories:

Disadvantaged financial background
Applicants from rural or isolated areas

I personally don't have any idea how much access will help you, but it may not be quite as much as the 78 guaranteed entry.

For some people it's the difference between getting into your course and not!
