Which path should I take for getting into Uni? (currently in y2 republic poly)

The most obvious choice if Im aiming for UNI is to take the path that gives me Uni modules that replaces my y3 modules. However, if Im not able to attain the minimum GPA of 3.5 before y3, the next choices are either the 36 week internship (20 in sem 1, 16 in sem 2) OR take 20 Weeks on sem 1/2 and take a Minor (all 3 electives from a single Minor).

My questions are:

-Which choice, 36 Weeks or 20 and a minor, would be better if im planning to go to Uni

-If im currently in an engineering…
