So, here as a Year 12 leaver here in Queensland myself and thousands of other 2014 graduates have been counting down the days until we can finally receive our end of year grade. Grades were due to be released at 9am on Saturday the 20th of December but somehow were fast tracked and we were able to see them at midnight on the 20th. OPs are ranked from 1 (being the highest and almost impossible) to 25 and each course at university has an entry requirement of your OP rank. I received the OP I needed to get into my course however for the first time I just wasn't satisfied enough with the thought of going to university in Brisbane. It has taken me about 36 hours to realise exactly what it was that I needed to do to make myself content - apply to other universities interstate and overseas. I ended up applying to the University of Tasmania (Hobart campus) because I just find the city so beautiful and I always find myself somewhere new. I used to go to the city every year for the winter and spend weeks there with my family. Secondly, I applied for various universities in Canada and Germany.
