Whilst looking at various things on the UMelb site, I discovered I can do the major I want (pathology) through the bachelor of science, an ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank) of 78* comparatively to the 95-100 ATAR that I would need for the bachelor of biomedicine. What a relief, however the thought still arose that what would happen if I did not get this score. I live in Australia so there realistically is no way that I will not go to university if I want to. But I have decided that - against the side of me that wants to plan everything about my journey to Melbourne - that I will wait and see if, when I apply to both courses through VTAC, I get in.
Then if I get in, I will defer for a year and work; saving as much money to make the transition as each as possible in the process.
If I am declined, I will do a semester of general studies at UTas whilst working and transfer after my first year.
I'm choosing these options as I cannot move by myself as I know I will not cope with so many new things and such transition with no support network. Be it through my friends, family or church. In 2016, the year I plan on starting my degree, my best friend Hilary and my partner Liam will be moving also.
*78 ATAR as my family receives Centrelink payments.
Much love.
