Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I am sure how things work these days but i think this is accurate...

1. HSC again is your best bet because even if you didn't get into physio, at least you could do a university course. As it is now you can't even get into uni until you are "mature aged" meaning at least 21 or so. Therefore the year of HSC again is not a waste and as mentioned before, school is easier than uni.

2. I think you have a snowball's chance in hell of getting in any other way at this stage because of the following (and i don't mean to be discouraging, just realistic):
a. you didn't get a UAI
b. you didn't get high enough marks in the right subjects
c. you are competing against so many people with UAIs, halfway thru uni with HD, D and Credit averages, etc. It is not like physio school is struggling to get students. I think they would put you pretty far down the list.
d. I tried to get a friend into the Uni with a reference etc but she was similar to you and she got nowhere close to being let in and she had done part of a Science degree with a credit average (more quals that you). If she wasn't even close, i think this route is pretty much closed to you.

There is the option of going somewhere where they will take your money and go as a full fee paying student. Don't know where or how but i am sure they don't knock back good money often!

Good luck. I really hope it works out for you. It is a shame you didn't have good advice (or someone to knock it into you!) at school!!! All the best!
