Last week was
an important one for recent school leavers across Queensland, with major round
offers being released by QTAC, VTAC and UTAC. I am sure the lead up to last
Wednesday was a stressful one for many.
I hope
everyone got offered exactly what they wanted but If you didn’t, then don’t
despair - getting into uni is always possible. Firstly, another round of offers
goes out in February (so you might get the good news then). Secondly, you
shouldn’t forget that there are also a number of other pathways to take you
where you want to go – in fact sometimes not getting into a course ends up
opening doors to a whole new realm of opportunities. This isn’t just limited to
recent school leavers either – here at CQUniversity we offer both school
leavers and non-school leavers with a great range of access and preparatory
programs which set great foundations for tertiary study.
My best
advice would be to contact the uni you want to study at and ask to speak to
someone about alternative entry pathways. There is always someone willing to
help you out and give you all the information you need. Most importantly
however, you should just enjoy your journey and explore every opportunity that
presents itself.
Good luck with
your studies in the year ahead!
