I will smash out some past-papers for UMAT (there are some copies at USYD sci-tech library) over the mid-sem break and take the UMAT next year. If that doesn't work out, I will still have the summer break to prep for GAMSAT.

Ranked by GAMSAT results? Yeah I should be able to meet the min GPA cutoff.

Tbh, I think I might have more chance with GAMSAT. Don't think my GPA is quite there yet just hovering under 6 atm, which isn't great. It's definitely a degree that is hard to be consistent in.

To answer your first question, at the time right after missing out on med, I laboured over doing a med science degree in case things didn't work out (I am a glass half empty person) and employability in a professional service (yes, I know, you crazy) was a concern because of financial pressure...

Thanks, yeah I am caught in two minds tbh. I have always really wanted to study Medicine but it definitely feels like it's been getting further and further away. Do UMAT preparation materials/courses help at all? I have heard about friends, at the time, who splashed heaps...but didn't get in.

I did HSC biology and chemistry (but I could probably pick it up if I studied it over summer) but not physics... Which could be problematic. I have heard you need first-year level for the science areas.

Hi peeps, I have been thinking about changing degrees because I am currently not enjoying what I am studying (Law & Comm at Sydney). I am heading into my 4th year (of a 5 year degree) but I am not sure what options I have to have a crack at med. Can someone fill me in on whether I can...
