Anyone managed to transfer to another degree with a WAM lower than the advertised WAM requirement?

Yes, but I'm a full-fee paying student and this was about 2 years ago so it's irrelevant now.

My WAM was 73 something
I applied for internal transfer to Economics (required: 70), i wanted Commerce/Arts but that needed a 75 so i took the safe option of choosing that respective course seeing as the degree is similar to Commerce anyways. But at the same time i also applied for transfer with UAC putting down Commerce/Arts.
I got an offer from UNSW after then end of semester 2 for Economics
I got an offer from UAC in January sometime for Commerce/Arts

what to do? Apply for Internal and UAC

hey man, how do you apply for UAC and is it too late now?

edit: applications are now closed. did they (UAC) assess you based on WAM and UAI?

What if they didn't reject or accept you. As in, no reply at all?

I'm pretty sure that if your UAI is above 90 your guaranteed a spot.

Does anyone know if they calculate both semester 1 and 2 results for the WAM or just semester 1? People are telling me different things so if someone who tried the internal transfer can tell me it will be much appreciated. thanks
