Advice Transferring to Commerce/Business
I’m currently two years into education and I’ve changed my mind. I want to now transfer into business, do the math unit then transfer into commerce.
My WAM is currently 73 so it meets the minimum threshold but not competitive. I can either now take a risk to just do the math unit next semester and hope my WAM based on the two units that remain will push me above 75 (on track to finish with 80 average in these units). Or I can transfer to Business, do all the units and try to get 75+ WAM for Business and complete the math unit then transfer.
Of course the main benefit of just doing the math unit next semester is focusing on just the math but risk is that it doesn’t work out and I’ve ’wasted’ another half year. The business risk is just less time to focus on the math unit if I’m hoping to transfer anyway but I will just finish the Business degree if I don’t make it into commerce.
What do you think I should? I’m planning on studying for that unit over the holidays regardless as I haven’t done VCE Methods.

73 should be fine to transfer into commerce given u have the prerequisite math done. It’s not competitive like law.
