As you said it youself. Uni can be important but its not everything. Speaking on the view of an Australian here, many people tend to think too hard about Uni being the most important thing in life. If you dont make the cut off, or you dont want to go, there are other options like TAFE (or another countries equivalent). And if you still have a year left, there is plenty of time to decide. I had no idea what i wanted to do in the future and it was just two days ago that i did a careers test (I think its called Jig-cal or something along those lines). With help from that I have decided that I want to go to Uni and i now know what courses I want to study there.

Also, if you dont really want to go to Uni, you can always take a year or two off and then go to Uni at a later stage if you want to then.

Ultimately, the best thing to do is look at all the options and stay where you will be most happy in the future.
