    I believe in NSW the Uni guide is UAC, is available online as well as those places Tinks said. Her school library should also have a copy of both this years and last years to look at. She just looks up the course she is interested in and it will state any pre-requities. Back in the day it would also list any UAI you would need based on the popularity of the course from the previous years. Looks like this is now an ATAR? Some didnt have this requirement and you were accepted based on merit. There used to also be a principals early acceptance program, I dont know if that is still available but its worth looking into if it is. Thats how I got into uni the first time around Most Uni's offer other alternative entry pathways, its a good idea to check with the uni and have a squizz in the UAC book. Also if you live rural you used to get extra points to your UAI for living 'disadvantaged' and to encourage you into the uni life... It may have changed a bit since those days though...

    Not sure when your open days for the Unis are but go to them and talk to the nursing area. they will be able to point her in the right direction. You can ring the Unis and talk to someone. Also her careers advisor should be able to help.
    Does she know a exstudent from her school who is doing nursing that she could talk to?
    A friend of DD2 is doing nursing and didn't do biology and had a really hard time when she had to do the subject at Uni.
