Access Melbourne?

[lvmpid]

Did anyone else receive an email saying they "qualify" for a guaranteed place in their chosen undergraduate course at UoM? Does this mean I'm in for sure? What does this mean?! I'm freaking out

and if so,
What if I wanted another course at Monash and have that as my first preference, will I still be guaranteed the spot at Melbourne? However my atar is lower than needed for Monash 
What do I do?
Any help appreciated !

Hey there lvmpid
 I just got the exact same email, it just seems like a general email reminding us that since we qualified for one or more access melb catergories, as long as we fulfil the requirements they have listed there (i.e. minimum ATAR) then our places are guaranteed. So as long as you do, then yeah I suppose it's for sure.

I'm not sure about the second part.. but try not to stress too much

Yeh, I got that email too, also has anyone ever got in by being few decimal points off the garunteered atar ?

Yeah i know of a person that got into commerce with a few points away from 88 (i think he got 86?).

Could someone print screen this e-mail and post it please?

It would be immensely appreciated because I got the following e-mail and not that one:
