Industrial design at Monash, Caulfield campus?

[whitecatdisguised]

Okay so I forgot whether Industrial design at Monash, Caulfield was either my 1st or 2nd preference, but either way I didn't get it... I got one of my lower choices... and I am so devastated

-----------------------------

My course requirements are,

Prerequisites: Units 3 and 4—a study score of at least 30 in English (ESL) or 25 in any other English, a study score of at least 20 in mathematics (any) and a minimum ATAR of 70.

Selection mode: Application kit, interview, folio, ATAR, academic record including GPA (see institutional page). See Extra requirements for specifics.

Extra requirements:
Application Kit: Applicants must download a kit online (http://www.artdes.monash.edu.au/study/apply/kit.html) by 30 September. Applicants can also access the kit at Open Day. Telephone requests will not be accepted. Applicants must complete and submit the kit by 7 October.
Interview and folio presentation (short-listed applicants only): Details will be sent to applicants by 7 November. Applicants must attend in November/December. See Monash University information pages for details. Advisory letters will be sent to applicants by 12 December.

Each applicant's folio is assessed to decide whether an interview is required. The final ranking is based on the interview score, minimum ATAR and GPA (if applicable).

And I HAVE fulfilled all the requirements, and Monash also sent me a letter saying 'as expressed on your VTAC application, we advise that, while you may not receive an offer in the first round because of the competitive standard of applications, we retain a strong interest in your application. An offer may be made to you in a subsequent round but this will depend on the number of places available at that stage.'

So does this mean that I will probably get in 2nd round? Because I'm really worried that I won't get into my course...
I got my lower preferences, how is that possible? I did ALL the requirements correctly. Does this mean that the course is highly demanded and exclusive?

My friend also told me that it may either be a mistake by VTAC, or I would definitely get in 2nd round. I'm not too sure, I just need some reassurance at the moment.

Sorry for the loongg post. Greatly appreciate replies please.
