I didn't realise that it was the 6th that the preferences close...I thought it was the 19th and now I realised and I am stuck with the preference I dont want. What chance will I have to change it and will I still get it or is it highly unlikely now? Is there any way I can ring up UAC and get them to change it for me or something? Argghhhh......Im screwed! Please help....

You might have to wait until the late rounds. If you got a high uai and they offer it in the late rounds then you have a chance, other than that, its probably too late.

You can still change your preferences, but you will be considered in the later rounds, and consequently will have a slimmer chance of getting into your desired course. I don't think you'd be able to change them for them to be considered in the main round.

I doubt you would be able to get them changed for the main round cos I imagine that's too easy an excuse for people to use when they're not being genuine - even though your case IS genuine.

not really, but maybe if you reapply next year and the main round UAI stays around the same you have a chance? I'm not sure though.

The question must be asked. Why the hell did you put in preferences that you didn't want? It just isn't logical to do that.

go to UAC and check out last years list and see if it had any vacancies after the main round.
