Not right away... ul jus have to find a back way of some sort...

I believe the computer system that allocates offers wouldnt even consider you.

Lil Miss Karly · 16 Dec 2005, 12:24 AM

Apparently if your afew marks off and they need people, if you really excelled in a subject relating to the course you might be considered.

Clearly they don't even set the cut off until all the places have been filled.

If you're a few -read, FEW - off, your careers advisor or similar can make a phone call. People in my school have gotten in via that way

but otherwise, go through back ways. You can even do a lower-uai cutof course, then transfer into your "ideal" one

If they were going to accept you, what would be the point of having a cutoff in the first place?

7th Sign · 16 Dec 2005, 12:26 AM

depends if no one wants to get into the course maby...

if demand was low, the cut-off would reflect that.

Pay the course outright.....DFFE I think it is. But obviously very expensive.

hmmmm, thanks, i should bribe my year advisor, lol jokes and yeah i could do that, but sometimes its not worth doing a course that you dont really like lol

There's always a hope. I got a UAI of 90.95, which is 0.05 below the advertised cut-off for Combined Law at UOW (91.00). I got in without having to do anything special, I just listed it as my first preference.

shortygb · 16 Dec 2005, 1:18 AM

if the course i want is high 70's and i get 60's or low 70's and they need numbers to fill the course could i get an offer? or am i screwed?

Okey, say, if I got <30 as my UAI, is there a chance I could perhaps squat in spare lecture halls until the janitor's job opens up again?
