What are my chances? (1 Viewer)

[MailMofo]

I've currently accepted an offer of B.Computer Science but have changed my mind and want to pursue a degree in B.Science.

Anyway, according to UAC, there are vacancies for B.Science, so to get to the chase, what would be my chance of being accepted into the degree in the February second round offers?

I'm almost 5 points above the requested ATAR for B.Science, would this give me any preference?

Seeing as you are 5 points over and it's UoN, I'd say you have a very good chance.

Thanks for the reply epic, was vaguely re-assuring

Can anybody give me some more information about the second round process?

I'm guessing its mainly reserved for people who have changed their minds on what degree that want to pursue, seeing as all those who had it as their first preference would have already been offered it....

See if you can get an irregular offer

I agree - you have a very good chance of getting in.

What do you mean?

From my post in another thread.

Usually there will be offers in Late Round. I regretted my Main Round preferences too and had to change it for Late Round and did get it eventually. With a competitive ATAR like yours, you may have quite a decent chance. I believe you can find a pdf document with previous years' Late Round Cut-Offs.

P.S Here it is...

My brother is in a similar situation to you (he received an offer for B. Science and wants an Engineering offer in the next round). When he rang the uni they suggested that if he doesn't get an offer in the later rounds that he could possibly obtain an Internal Program Transfer as a commencing student for semester 1. It isn't guarenteed but it is a back-up option if needed.
