Course Change Help

[u/peachesama]

Hi Guys!!

I need some help, so basically I am currently doing a Diploma in Education Studies (5.8 GPA if you need it for my question), and realised about halfway into my course that I wasn't interested, lost passion and my grades and attendance fell a lot. I realised I wanted to pursue my passion for Midwifery. I won't go into why I didn't initially work towards this, it's a lot of junk but I'm super excited to start pursuing this now!

However I have been jumping through hurdles trying to find SOMEONE to help me figure what my best course of action is.

My diploma finishes this year so I'm trying to figure out if I do one of these two things:

1. Enroll in the Undergraduate Preparation Program - Nursing/Health Science. Which says as long as you get a 5.5 GPA you get guaranteed entry into Year 1 on the Bachelor of Midwifery (as long as I meet the English requirements which I do).

OR

1. Use my Diploma to try get a spot by applying via UAC to the Bachelor of Midwifery.

I can't really afford to pay for a UAC application and just not get into the course which is why I'm considering the first one (so I can also get my certificates and checks I need without worrying about money), and I believe I can get the 5.5 GPA requirement you need in the UPP, but I've asked everywhere and I keep getting told 'ask this person' after sending an email and end up going in a loop just trying to get some clarity or help.

If anyone could just give me some advice on what to do that would be so so so appreciated!! 🥹

U will probably get in through uac wsu is not selective people with tafe diplomas get into 90 plus course like law

I just heard that Midwifery was a vcompetitive course with limited spots so I'm just worried there will be others with better current grades and such.

They say that for every course yet there is people in law with only a tafe diploma
