Anybody get into Uni with a mid ATAR? (1 Viewer)

[mendelssohnviolinconcerto]

I'm taking a gap year in 2025 to work and save up some Uni money, but I ended up getting an ATAR of 76.85 at a poorly ranked regional school (bottom 40), I was hoping to achieve an ATAR of 80. I'm still not 100% sure what I want to do at uni (a contributing factor to my gap year) but I'm certain that I want to go to uni. Since a lot of courses I've been looking at in Sydney and Canberra require an ATAR of 85 or an LSR of 80, I'm just curious how difficult it is to enter uni with an ATAR that doesn't meet the ATAR requirements or whether anyone else was in a situation like mine and did manage to get into uni. I was school captain, but I'm not really sure how much of an influence that really has on an application.

check if your eligible for any entry schemes, they're big help with some having reduction points up to 10

just sucks that I can't reach any of those 90 ATAR courses
I could maybe do a lower ATAR course and transfer into one of those courses, but I'm not sure how easy that process is.
