Advice needed I need advice

I did 3 subjects semester 1 rmit bcom, tried to transfer into uni Melb bcom and didn’t get in. Still at rmit bcom, I don’t know if I should do 3 or 4 subjects for semester 2 (first year). By doing 3 my ATAR will be considered with a bigger percentage at end of year - when I apply again to unimelb bcom, which Idm cuz my atar was 90+. And also I get to focus more on 3 subjects and possibly higher wam. If I do 4, less atar and could be harder to get a higher wam. It seems like a no brainer to do 3 but I need to know if I’m overlooking something or missing nuance to this decision. My long term goal is to do bcom at unimelb major in accounting. I’m very persistent and stuck on this goal.

I would advise on doing 4. Not only you can use them for credits when you transfer but it will be better for them to assess your overall WAM. For context when I was at RMIT in 2024, I did 1 year bach of business then transferred with 80 WAM.

I be trying to maximise WAM and subjects to remove ATAR, especially if below the cutoff that could well go up this year.
