Definitely appeal. Your case seems more severe than mine. Mine was ticked as "considerable" and I missed out 100 or so days of school (both full days and partial, but mostly partial) in year 11 and 12. Good luck and I hope it all works out.
Similar thing happened to my brother, he appealed twice and they still rejected him. He was in hospital for 2 months just before his HSC which affected his trials too. For some reason, these universities don't offer any sympathy for sick people. Nonetheless he still ended up with a pretty high UAI, that's probably why. It's pretty fucked up. Try appealing.
Wtf? Did they send you someone else's?
I think the reason your brother's eas wasn't accepted was that his illness didn't span the required 6 months. (without the required 6 months of illness affecting your studies it will not be accepted). Where as mine was 2 years, with letters from specialists, g.ps . My Principal, all my teachers personally came up to me and told me i must apply. I got a stack of medical certificates ( i sent to them) and also sent my attendance record.... yet not accepted? And they didn't even tell me why. Seriously thats fkd up. I sent them an email 6 hours ago yet no reply.
Maybe it's the one for schools which is automatic?
Your school must have put one in for you then, especially if you go to a disadvantaged school.
Oh thanks you, very big help!
I am in a rural area, does that count?
