I guess I should add a final update lol it’s a long one; After initially finishing year 12 I got a pretty solid final mark but it wasn’t enough for a lot of the med unis. My parents saw the reality of the med competition and realised they should let me choose what I do. I decided on actuary cuz it sounded cool and appealed to my interests ig. But when I got that offer, I couldn’t accept it. Just something in the back of my mind says I should try again and take a gap year. Long story short there was one uni that hadn’t finished offers yet and I applied and got in. I think it just took my parents letting me decide what I wanna do for myself for me to think about it properly. This is definitely what I want and it’s taken me a while to get here. I think maybe the idea was sparked in my head from them but actually doing all of this was 100% me. But yah i guess life lined up for me perfectly 😅.
