My predicament

[costargh]

For those of you who have been following my situation and PM'ing me etc, I thought it would just be better to sum it all up in a thread rather than re-tell it in every post/pm.

Historical information:
1. I got 24 in methods in 2007

I ended up with an ENTER of 96.95 this year, enough for Commerce at Melbourne and Monash.
Edit: BTW, Im not one of those smart azns who bolsters their ENTER up with methods and spesh and LOTE's. (Im not azn at all). I'm actually really into commerce. My subjects were all commerce related. 47 in Business, 46 in English, 40 in accounting, 40 in Legal, 36 in Further maths, 33 in Economics, 24 in Methods , 4.3 increment for Retail Operations certificate.

I called both Melbourne and Monash Uni and they both rejected me (or said I can't be accpepted into commerce) because of my 24 in methods. Im going to go to Monash tomorrow to plead my case. Totally sucks but oh well.
Melbourne lady said to go to another intsitute and do commerce and then traansfer in 2nd year but meh.

Might do Comm/law at deakin and try transfer to monash if i feel like it... meh

 :2funny: joke that sucks

that's kinda fucked...seeing as you got PWC award and dominated the business related subjects. Surely they could make an exception..try and get an interview rather than asking on the phone..it'll appear more sincere, maybe.

I don't know but I was thinking, what if you ask them to give you some kind of test to complete that is methods related? Or perhaps ask to attend some classes prior to commencing your studies at either Monash or Melbourne, which would cover what you need to know in regards to methods?

Good luck.

aww u poor thing!
good luck at monash

I want to give you my methods score!!! I don't even need it for anything :S

[costargh]

Wow great ideas guys. Do Monash 'make interview's per-say' or is it just like at the counter thingo?

And yeh maybe I can ask if i can do a test or something or attend classes etc. THANKS

I thought Monash had like ... summer school bridging courses sorta things. I think there's one for biology, for med students who hadn't done it in VCE ... there might be a maths one too. No harm in asking at least! Good luck

Awesome. Ill write that down and remember to ask. thanks!

There should be a head of business (I don't know the exact title) who you could make a meeting with just to discuss your situation and they might consider.

No harm in trying.

If this doesn't work out.. which uni are you going to attend and what course?

I'm so cut I got over 25 in Methods when I don't even need it. :S... Can we give study scores away?

Heck if I could I'd give Costa my 42 in Methods... I didn't even need it to get in >_>

Keep nagging by phone and in person.  I have had many of my students over the years get into courses by planting themselves outside the door of the Dean/Professor in charge.  Make them so sick of you that they offer you a place so that you stay away!!  Don't put Deakin Uni down.  I have a close friend with a Business degree from Deakin who is a CFO at 33 (Oh and he earns a fortune).  You don't need a Melb or Monash degree to make it big.

[costargh]

Do you mean dont 'diss' Deakin or dont put Deakin on my preferences?

LOL i dont recall putting deakin down... (ie. bagging it)
