Aww, thanks girls. You've really boosted my confidence, maybe I could pull it off after all....

**ETA: OK, just looking at the Sydney Uni site and this has totally freaked me out...


Mathematics...I SUCK at mathematics...

Think I'd better keep looking...sounds like my suspicions are correct, this is more for brainiacs and high achievers..I am neither I'm afraid.
Don't despair, Willow, the same UAI requirements do not apply to mature age students.

HOWEVER, I hear ya on the mathematics AND statistics thing (if you think maths is bad, stats was even worse in my experience!). I took Economics and Computer Science in my first degree and despite doing really well at school maths and really well at everything else at uni I found those two subjects extremely challenging. But I passed (even got a credit for maths, don't ask me how) and you only had to take them for the first year. So if you can grin and bear it for a year, it's over. Kinda took the pressure off myself too, knowing there was no way I was going to get a really good mark, so I learnt about 60% of the subject and learnt that part REALLY WELL!

Plus, Syd Uni is not the only uni to offer psychology and can be the hardest to get into. Have a look at the other unis as well.
