im in quite a little conundrum here - a mess im wholly responsible for. so i want to do arts / law at usyd, and i couldnt care for any other uni. however i got 99.5, so chances are, im not going to get in.

my second preference is international studies - what a mistake that was. i had an epiphany like the day after the final day for applications - i really really want to do arts (advanced) (honours). however, that course is like 5th on my preferences.

so my question: what course of action can i take? as far as i can predict, this is what will happen - rejected for 1st preferences combined law, but accepted for international studies in the main round. i accept that, and then change my preferences so arts (advanced) (hon) is now my first preference for the late round. do i have any chance of getting into it? or even arts, at least?

that's precise what you should do.

accept your main round, you have until 31st of March (usually) to withdraw with no penalty.

Change your preference for late round. You never know. People defer, ppl go over seas, they dont' accept their offer, they got hit by a car, etc etc... there are more than likely to have spots left in late round.

thanks, thats what i thought. however, would anyone know if usyd arts for example often has late round places? or is this just a big unknown..
