Hey Lostie/ Lily,
Sorry for the late rep, with the option of begging the dean, what you would need to do is to write a letter expressing, why you should been chosen for the course you want and also list the positive attributes that you have and how that would make you a better application to choose. This is usually really hard for popular course, unlike my friend's courses which are relatively not as popular. However having said this, by all means try your best at showing that you are the one that should be chosen by the dean. Write a strong letter expressing your beliefs, there is a slight chance it might work and also ask other students on BoS, every bit helps. Go for it Lily, I wish you the best of luck.
