I feel my brain fermenting after 2 weeks w/o a textbook to read...Here r some commonly used texts:
Anatomy/Physio:
Saladin (Anatomy/Physio)
Easy-to-read with loads of colourful pics. I find it simple and to the point. Excellent text.
Guyton & Hall (Physio)
Supposed to be a really...
I agree with the 'ITS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE' bit.
I'm disappointed that we spend excessive amounts of time on sociology (ard 45-55% of classes r on sociology) at Monash. Yes, its good to know abt the problems people with disability face and the type of aid they get, but i'm not...
Yeah! Do a search...
I liked Medentry...All sections were decent...esp S3 patterns. S2 was prolly too easy. The big plus was the price...i paid $245!
I also did UMATOLOGY...this one had 20 practice tests (compared to medentry's 10)...but with LOADS of mistakes. I was so pissed i nv got...
I'm asian...and i didn't feel disadvantaged because of my race while sitting the UMAT. I also happen to know quite a few asians who did FREAKING well in the UMAT. If the UMAT was intended to discriminate against asians...then its doing a dreadful job.
Is that so? Hmm...
I'd still prefer Oz coz its cheaper...btw, a friend back home didn't do the umat n got a conditional offer from unsw telling him he needed a scaled of 135. He didn't bother to sit as he had already accepted a monash place. Just recently, unsw gave him an UNCONDITIONAL offer! :)
erm...I got 173 scaled and a predicted TER of 99...which is probably why i got interviewed.
But i dun think I'll get 99...so i'm trying to access my chances of getting in with a TER of 98+.
My phone interview wasn't hot...felt dry. The interviewer was polite, that's about all.
Hey...I'm international and was wondering if there's any hope of me getting into unsw with a UAI of 98+ and UMAT scaled of 173?
All responses r very much appreciated.
