Rejected from ECU semester 1 nursing

hi guys, I completed summer uniprep at ECU with the expect of getting into nursing semester 1 but that looks highly unlikely. I’ve been waiting for weeks for my offer emaiI. I went to the orientation yesterday and it was full to the brim and apparently there’s 3k people enrolled in the degree and that’s all the 1st 2nd and 3rd year students. I applied for some back up degrees and I’m just waiting on an outcome and have also asked for an update on my original application but there’s nothing. I called curtin and they said I can do health sciences semester 2 and switch into nursing semester one next year but that will put my plans one year back. I was thinking of applying semester 2 for nursing at ECU but apparently the units would be out of order and you’ll have to catch up on them in the next semester or summer school and it would be kind of confusing since semester 2 units build on semester 1. what would you guys recommend? starting semester 2 at ECU or doing health sciences semester 2 and switching first year semester 1 next year at Curtin.
