I don't know much about med camp itself, but I'm definitely going and you should come too :) Apparently it's a great time to make friends and socialise!

Every three years

When you enter the library, there are students in green shirts who will guide you to wherever you want to go. For the ID cards, either ask them, or just follow the yellow tape on the floor. It'll be very easy to spot once you're there. I strongly, strongly recommend uploading your own picture...

Can the FM Assist staff see when you obtained your last ID card?

No idea what Bond interviews are like, but I personally wouldn't take Bond, even if I were offered a place. I don't like the sound of being in 350k debt, even if Bond med is shorter than other unis (I think?) - besides, I'd want to do med in my home state if possible. If FEE-HELP doesn't cover...

Get the Pro if you care about having a nice screen (I didn't), need the extra processing power (I didn't), or want to "future proof" your machine (I didn't - I plan to upgrade every 2-3 years). My Air is my main computer, and it's basically a Facebook machine that sometimes runs OneNote and...

I know that I haven't even started med yet, but I think I'm interested in something surgical, or maybe oncology-related. I fully expect this to change at least a hundred times in the next six years - but assuming that it doesn't, how best should I utilise my year of research? If research means...

Echoing strongly with everything you said here. I was tossing up between law, med and dent (UNSW med and law, UQ dent so "tier 1" I guess) and chose med for similar reasons as you. Are you interested in the "science" side of medicine as well? Law to med is a pretty big jump academically.

Sounds like the best decision you could have made at this point tbh. I'm curious - what are your reasons for leaning towards med?

Are you taking Newcastle med or staying with law?

I think census date is 31 March 2015
