I really really really.........really want to do a course at Uni next year, but looking at it now I don't think I will get in:crying:

these are my reasons why I don't think I will get in....
1. My senior certificate...... Pre requisits for the course I want to do is English (4SA's), well I topped that:thumbsup: and 4SA's in either Biology, Chemistry or Physics. I wasn't too brainy at maths, but took them anyway and got a LA for chem and physics

2. After school (10 years ago) I did one year at Uni and being so immature and stoopid, stuffed around and didn't do myself any favours with marks/grading:( So now if my kids finished school and didn't want to go to uni straight away, that will be fine with me!

Now, the course I want to do is a brand new one at UQ. I looked into doing what they call a STAT test (which is like a compatancy test (can't even spell it!) which would cost me $100. I am more than willing to pay it to do the test, that raised my hopes again BUT THEN I read that UQ won't accept a STAT test if 12 months of full time study in a bachelour degree has been undertaken

I am going to apply anyway and possibly waste the application fee, but I am hoping that hardly any one else apply's (because it is a brand new course)....

It has taken me so long to actually work out what I want to do with the rest of my life......I am soooooo sad, I so much want to do this course :gloomy: I am a fool......

(so, what have I done now...gone and used another persons title derrrrr (sorry!)

Hi


1. look into it again.. most universities will have a statue of limitations on previous attnedances. (in WA it's ten years) Phone the uni and ask them.

2. The STAT test is easy. Pay the extra ten or so dollars and get some practice tests first.. adn have a go.. once you get into the groove of them they are easy to do.

3. Best of luck... go for it. :thumbsup:
