I applied for SEAS "Category 1 Personal Information and Location". I would have applied for financial disadvantage as well, but my parents were too lazy to fill out their tax forms, so I couldn't. Nevertheless, is there any chance that SEAS could somehow boost my literature score from 23 to 25? It feels like such a waste to miss out on my dream course when I made the clearly in ATAR score, came very close to making the literature prerequisite and have a valid SEAS which is proof that I suffered hardship in year 12...
As far as I know, there's no way to boost study score pre-reqs ): Have you considered looking into doing an associate degree if your dream course has one? I'm not entirely sure what they entail, however my friend's in the same category as you having got a SS for English <25 told me was going to go for an Ass. Degree.

A 23 in literature is harder to get than a 25 in English. I wish they took this into account, rather than going through an automatic process of denying anyone who got less than a 25 raw score.

Well, so far the plan is to do VCE English units 3/4 this year and basically treat it like a gap year with only 1 subject. Then I'll apply again for 2014. The only bad thing about that is that I'll be almost 20 by the time I start university and I'll feel like everyone else is way ahead of me...
