1.1 below clearly-in, what are my chances? (1 Viewer)

[89.35=fail]

I got 89.35 for my vce ENTER, what do ppl think my chances are of getting into B Commerce at Monash where the clearly-in ENTER is 90.45? (fringe is 88.75 for 1st round offers)

bonus points?

Bonus points, later round offers or a transfer later?

You might have a shot ... good luck .

i'm facing the same dilemma. but i'm thinking a safe bet would be for me to put down B Accounting. if you don't want to risk not getting in, why don't you go for a similar course (to Commerce) and work hard so that you are eligible for a transfer after the first year?

I'm .3 under what I need, but I get bonus points for middleband because I did Lit and International studies in year 12. So my enter for it wil be 88.7 so I think I'll get in.

Just when I thought I was screwed, look what I found:

Does anybody know when those bonus points incentive scheme will come into effect? And how many bonus points you get for doing one of the listed LOTEs?

As we all know, ENTER cut-offs vary according to demand/supply. With that said, in the last three years the lowest cut-off for Bach Comm at Monash was 90.15.

Even if you miss out, how about BBus(Acc)/BBus(B&F) or similar at the Caulfield campus? You can always apply to transfer after 1st year if you achieve a good average e.g. over 70 WAM.

haha well tis a bit late because i suppose by now you'll already have found out what you got into because offers were a while ago. i would've said not to give up hope because fringe mean 5% i think of all offers in the first round were made below that enter. clearly -in is clearly-in: it does not automatically disqualify you if you got just below. and i think 1.1 is a good margin.
for me i was always optimistic. look at the data figures for media comm at melb from last year- the clearly in was like 98 or something ridiculous, and the % of offers below the clearly-in score was listed as more the 50% of the people who applied. don't quote me on these though, its what i remember of the top of my head from study the vtac guide this year.
i filled in all 12 prefs, got my enter score and was only sure i would get into my 5th pref (melb science) cos i was optimistic. and from a 87 enter I got into biomed sci first round (which from memory was like a clearly-in of 91+). I was expecting 2nd or 3rd round maybe but not 1st! mucked up my plans because i was overseas at the time and at melb you can enrol online but monash u have to use a proxy but i got 5 prefs up my list so i'm not complaining.
i know 1.1 seems like a lot because of clearly-in, but i said to myself- fringe is like the score at which 95% of offers are made above(hehe i was like 2 whole enter scores of my courses fringe from last year) - why shouldn't i be one of those lucky people who get in not having the clearly-in score? the chances of getting in with an enter 1.1 rankings below the clearly in aren't that bad if you think about it. if not, you DEFINATELY have a chance 2nd or 3rd round

plus, i've heard transfers are pretty hard

 

[bregitta]

I was .55 below the clearly-in, and although the wait for results was painful, I did get in due to low demand

How did you go?

To put it frankly.. you're in. Seriously.
