Which university course?

'I want to be a Vet.'

For those of you disappointed that you didn't achieve  the ATAR required to gain entry into your preferred course choice, most universities offer pathways that will get you there. For example you might gain entry into a similar course with a lower entry score, and leverage success in that course as a springboard to gain entry into your first preference down the track or you might find find some value in something  unexpected- something wonderful that wasn't even on your radar.
