UNSW Com with low atar???? what are my options?

Ok, so i just want someone to tell me the truth please (even if it hurts)
I got an atar of 82.10 (really disappointed) and my original first preference was B commerce/economics at UNSW (96.3), and my second preference was just Economics (93 atar)
I can get 3 bonus points with hscPLUS, and i am also eligible for EAS bonus points
Anyways, do you think there is any chance i will receive an offer, for January rounds perhaps? Or should i just accept the fact that there is no chance and change my preferences?
If you are laughing at me, please just tell me so i can change it

Also, what would be the best way to transfer, would it be better to do commerce at Macquarie or UTS...or if i do Information Systems at UNSW and then transfer into UNSW Commerce? Would i lose time and be behind with this??
Im really worried, stress, confused, upset, and i just need someone to help me figure out what to do :(

Thanks everyone :'( <3

There is always a chance and you also get up to one offer every round, so you should have your preferred choice (economics) at the top anyway. Because if you accept an offer now and get another for economics later, you can cancel your current offer for economics anyway.

Commerce at MQ or UTS would both work. The one major drawback about transferring between universities is that you have to do it through UAC, which is just effort. On the contrary, transferring internally within UNSW will only require that you have the WAM to do it and nothing more.
