I think it's because you didn't do the prerequisite subjects (looking at your sig) required for commerce at Melbourne. On the website it says:

Units 3 and 4 – a study score of at least 25 in English/English Language/Literature or at least 30 in ESL, and at least 25 in Mathematical Methods or Specialist Mathematics.

Yeah, but she completed MAST10012 Introduction to Mathematics, which is the equivalent to Methods 3+4 in semester 1.  She passed that so she would have satisfied the Methods pre-requisite.

Hence, I think she should appeal the decision.

attained higher ATAR than the clearly in, averaged 83 for sem 1 and met all the prereqs, yet no offer for commerce.

fuck melbourne uni.

You're allowed to appeal the decision if that's the case because you have a leg to stand on here.

Maybe it's because he hasn't completed maths methods 3/4 as it is prerequisite for commerce?

The reason why I couldn't get into commerce in the first place was because I didn't do methods 3/4 but I passed the equivalent at uni in semester one hence meeting all prerequisites, what Gloamglozer said. :)

I rang the uni up, clarifying on what basis I didn't get an offer when I knew so many people with lower ATARs and WAMs did and they informed me that my uni results weren't recorded in my VTAC profile. They're going to investigate and get back to me on Monday.

Lovely fuck up there.

Hopefully everything will get sorted out soon and it's not too late to get into commerce by next sem.

If their fuck up is going to cost you a semester you should go in there and rage so hard.  They have they shittiest admin ever.  Barely anyone has a clue what is going on.  The knob who processed your application should have contacted you to let you know that they didn't have any uni results registered so that you could have it fixed up in time...BUT NO, it is just easier for them to not give a stuff, ignore it and reject your application than to actually do the right thing and try to fix it.

P funny that melb uni requires vtac to provide them with your uni when they had probably just given them a week earlier.

Update: I was lucky enough to receive an offer.
Hope everything works out for you guys too!

Side question:
Does anyone know the likelihood of being able to transfer credit in physics 1 and calculus 2 as breadth from science to commerce?

Plan-B surely your ATAR would have got you into UoM Sci during VTAC applications :O
