Uni of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
Hey there,
I did my year 12 in a school called Hubbard's School and I took 3 subjects only, apparently only Uni of Queensland (UQ) will accept students who have done 3 subjects too. So I applied for BSC and the cut off rank is 77, I got 75 as my rank..
So I won't make it into semester 1, but is there something I can do in the few months before semester 2 starts? To boost my rank? So I can apply for semester 2 and hopefully get in this time.
It's a little embarrassing as I have told some friends about me going to uni and nothing will stop me and that. Cried the whole day today because I felt like such a failure! :(
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
There will be a shortage of people here to answer a question like that since even if you were an alum of the university in question the admissions policies change from year to year.
Now, the best thing to do is to get in touch with your guidance council from your previous school and ask them for suggestions. They are likely to have seen this more than once and may have some very helpful suggestions. That is part 1 of your mission... part 2 would be to talk to an admissions councilperson at your desired university. There are a wide array of exceptions that can be granted for various reasons, but you will never find out about them if you don't ask. They will also have a bag full of suggestions to help you if you have a semester free to fill in your qualifications. Always best to find out what THEY would like to see you doing with that time. :-)
No more crying about this, ok? You will be fine, and surely you will remember this lesson for the rest of your life, right? I mean better to learn it now than to forget to do all your paperwork in advance and know exactly where you stand before entering a masters program or the like... right?
Wishing you well with your advanced education.
