Not meeting pre-requisites..

[RD]

Hey guys, Don't think I need to start another thread.

I'm in the same position.  Pretty much the degree I want requires an English SS of 25, but I got 23.  I want to go to Monash, and did Enhancement studies there this year with a HD average of 93.5

I've had no luck so far with the admissions office, can anyone give me some advice of where to go next?

ouch, did you get a good enough ENTER for the course, like exceeding its clearly-in?

He did. Unfortunately, prerequisites as a rule are unbendable.

From the correspondance I've had with Monash University about this in the past few days the answer is basically:
"Fuck off, go to another University or enroll in a course where the pre-requisite isn't a requirement"

Plus the administration at Monash are rude pricks, condescending and uppity.

Have you considered re-doing Methods through distance ed / CAE?

Another option is a Diploma of Business through Monash College (which you do have the prereqs for; >25 in English and any Maths) which would let you articulate directly into 2nd year of Commerce/Business at Monash after you finish the 1 year course ... but you need to get a HD average in your diploma and $20,000 to pay for it (it's full fee).

Yeh I have, I might do that possibly.
But is it possible say for me to enroll in Law/comm at deakin, do methods via distance ed and then apply through vtac for comm/law at monash the following year?

Maybe...sounds like a good idea though, good luck ^_^

I don't see why not. You'll be applying as a non-year 12 student, so the procedure will be different in some ways I would assume.

You could possibly even apply directly to the university through their online system which I just happen to have worked on, but call the Bus/Eco faculty when the time comes.
