Hi!
So I recently made what my careers advisor has dubbed "the biggest mistake of my schooling life" by dropping Mathematics. I was in an Advanced course for two years and then a General course before finally dropping, as I found the content to be too complex and did not feel confident I could achieve a good ATAR with it.
Well I thought my CA was over-exaggerating when she said I'd find it incredibly difficult to get into a Psychology course without having taken HSC Mathematics, but after looking on the UoS admissions page (and many other university websites), one of the prerequisites (or Assumed Knowledge) for a B. Psychology is Mathematics.
My question is, will I still be considered if I've completed up to Year 11 in an Advanced/General Mathematics course and have achieved a high enough ATAR, or have my chances been drastically lowered? If they have, are there any recommendations on how I can get around it i.e. alternative pathways?
Thanks.
