Bachelor of Science at Melb. Uni. alternatives? HELP!

with preference choices coming up i know whatmy no.1 is (see title) but im a little oblivious as to other uni courses thatof course have a lower ATAR requirement. Im looking towards doing the Doctorite of Veterinary science after the undergraduate, so any degree i do other than the BoS needs to include at least 2 units each other cellular biology and biochemistry. Im really lost as to what to choose if plan A doesn't happen
does anyone know of any similar courses with an ATAR of <90? keep in mind i have not sat the umat, but am doing methods, bio, chem, physics and english so prerequisites are not a problem in terms of yr 12 subject requirements.

Indeed, science anywhere should be good provided they offer subjects that meet prerequisites for the Doctorate in Veterinary Science.

Science At Monash

That would probably be the best plan B if travel time and other factors do not bother you.

I miss read that as time travel...

I misread that as time travel... but yeah, science at any other uni would be a good choice, i cant really see many other degrees that are recommendable for you to get into veterinary science besides science anyway.

Doctor of veterinary at melbourne accepts around 120 people each year; 50 CSP and the rest are full fee/internationals. Assuming around 40 are taken by international students (yes there is that many I asked at their open day) and that around 20 are got 98.5 and 70% average there are around 30 CSP places to fight for and 30 full fee places.

Its quite competitive

Yeah it is probably good to mention a lot of post-grad courses dont have heaps of CSP places (i noticed this at melbourne where 50% CSP was "good" according to them)
