From what I can tell, offers usually get sent out before mid-November, and interstate interviews are bundled in with everyone else in the first interview round, which is in early December :) hope that helps

Absolutely, am experiencing that firsthand atm! It's super great

Every uni is a "national leader" in everything amirite To be fair though, 5 rural clinical schools is a high amount, and they're all well staffed and put together and provide rural opportunities for students, so I don't think it's very laughable

Can confirm my speculations now, there will be no change in the overall amount of places offered in UNSW Medicine. It's just another option :)

First years amirite Probably got a HD But yeah just a supp exam

Copy pasting my response on MSO "As I said, there are no details on how it would be implemented yet. However, if I were to speculate, UNSW is capped by the government on the amount of CSP places it can offer (as is every other Australian medical school). So even though UNSW has opened up a new...

As I said, if you do your research properly and work hard leading up to/within the year, you can get published (and quite a few do). I just said that it can be harder in that timeframe

Correctamundo Those rumours are kinda coming from the wrong direction. The ILP year is just like any other year in your degree, especially later on: it's only as good as you want to make it. So if you wanted to, you could definitely cruise through it. But there are a lot of opportunities to do...

Well no, doing a med sci degree is fine if med sci (not med) is what you're actually interested. But I agree that a BSci is more useful and flexible otherwise

For a maximum of 8 people. I.e. you need an extremely high WAM; and you still need the UMAT. That definitely can't be relied on as option to get into med, it's very unlikely to get it. Very weak reason to choose the course. I would go for a course/uni that I'm comfortable with and know I can do...

Did a quick poke around and I think this is the one he's referring to: http://search.proquest.com/openview/7f0756636717f6fa2ad91e7fd23230ed/1 "Coached candidates had slightly higher UMAT scores on one of the three sections of the test (non-verbal reasoning), but this difference was not...

Or if you're a keen bean and are annoyingly enthusiastic you can go early and never wait more than 5-10 mins for a bus (Inb4 berated by Square and Queen I'M A NERD OK)
