Confusion

[pyro-53]

Hi guys,

I’m so confusing right now.

My dream has always been to study Bachelor of Arts at either UoM or Monash and doing a double major in Psychology and Media and Communication (or Journalism).

Now I know that the reality is I need to do a pathway but I’ve no idea which uni to choose from.

First up is Vic Uni (40253) with the Bachelor of Arts. It's the closest to where I live right now.
The second choice is Deakin (16263) Bachelor of Arts (Psych) this is a new course so of course there aren’t any ATAR clearly-in just yet.
The third is La Trobe, Science (Application in Society). Although it's a science course but it still offers a Professional Communication major alongside with Psych. Only problem is: it's far away and it's a science degree so I'm not really sure that I can take enough credit to transfer to arts.

So which university do you think will help me successfully transfer to either Melbourne or Monash after first year?

Of course, I know that there aren’t any guarantee because there are many factors to be considered such as the average of GPA need to be above 75% ( or even 80%) and the similarities between the programs offer at both universities.

I'm pretty sure that I will move out next year to be close to the uni that I'm going to attend but I'm still undecided about the decision of uni

How about BArts at Deakin?

It has to be BArts(Psych) because normal BArts at Deakin doesn't have Psych major.

I think you would have a better chance with a Deakin degree.

Then how hard is it to keep up an average above 70% in uni throughout first year? Given that I'll keep working non-stop and sacrifice on social life, job, etc...
