University WAM question

Hi guys, I have always had a passion for doing a Bachelor of Arts at Melbourne University, however I don't believe that I am capable of getting a 89 ATAR.

I was told by somebody from UoM that you are able to transfer into the BA from any arts degree if you are able to maintain a 80% WAM, because if your WAM is high they don't really care about the ATAR.

So my question is, how hard is it to achieve a WAM of 80% throughout one semester at an arts degree at either Latrobe or Monash?

Achievable but you'll need to work hard. About 15% of the cohort should achieve an H1 average.
