[AUS] Got a 60% on my research report. Is it over for me?

Advice/Career

I’m in my first year and first semester in a Bachelor of Psych Honours program. I’m international and I've been a straight As student for as long as I can remember (when I transferred schools I did pretty bad in my first year but went back to straight As after). I got a 60% on my research report and i wasn’t expecting that result at all. I asked for a reevaluation from my marker detailing all the parts where I felt she’d been too harsh and she gave me some very detailed feedback that made a whole lot of sense (although i still feel like she’d been quite harsh)

i genuinely love psychology and research and i want to go into clinical but im worried this one mess up is going to completely ruin my WAM for the next 4 years and ill never get into an mcp or mpp program and essentially itll be over for me. ive set up a meeting with my marker and im going to rewrite my report and show it to her to make sure ive implemented her feedback so i never make the same mistakes again but the damage is done and im afraid nothing can fix it anymore.
