Bec,ahhh I thought they didnt care about your STAT score but they took your STAT rank instead. The uni told me that last years minimum was 153, and I did get over that (not by much though!), but they obviously cant tell me what this years will be. She seemed to think it would be higher though. I suppose its just a waiting game though!

Loula, congrats!!!! thats awesome news! I'm sure you'll work it out re paying for it. Can you defer your fees through the HECS scheme (or whatever its callled now). How exciting!

Aww Sushee I have to wait until Jan as well... To get told I didnt get in, lol! argh the suspense!

Shazz, good luck!

Relle, thanks yah I hope they like my previous working experience, even though most of it just papershuffling jobs which doesnt rank highly. I wish they could just tell me now! I've never been good at waiting for something.

OK, I have decided that if I dont get into uni this time, I am going to apply for enrolled nursing instead. You apply to the health department, do a test, have an interview and if successful, you spend a year doing a combination of tafe study and working in various wards in the hospital (and you get paid for the whole year too!). The applications for the next intake have closed, but the intake after that is in Sept/Oct 2008 and the applictions open in about April/May and close in June, so I have about 6-7 months to try to get my stuff sorted out and gather more info. I spoke with the nurse education officer at the hospital and someone at TAFE, and the program sounds awesome so I am really really hoping to get into that. She also told me that I'd pretty much get first pick of what hospital I want to work at because I've got a child and they understand that I will need to work in a certain area so I can have access to day care without having to travel all the way across Sydney. DH thinks its cool, but I know my mum and sister will be disappointed. They REALLY want me to go work in the bank and everytime I go to my mums place they tell me to apply for a job at the bank, but I dont really want to work in the bank. Anyways, just thought I'd tell everyone my plans, because I am really not feeling confident about getting into uni at all.

Sorry to have waffled on so much, I have a bad habit of doing that.
