Admissions statistics
To get an idea if you have a chance of being offered a place in the course or programme you applied for, you can check admissions statistics for the previous year.

The required merit rating may have been lower
It's possible that the lowest final merit rating that was offered a place in a certain course or programme was actually lower than what is listed in the admission statistics database. This is because the individual universities administer the admissions process themselves after the second selection round. It's possible that places can later become available, providing a place to applicants with a lower merit rating.
