    Jaded

    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...

    UMAT Training Companies

    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...

    UMAT - Subtle Discrimination Against Asians?

    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.

    98+UAI, 173 UMAT...any hope for unsw offer?

    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! :)

    98+UAI, 173 UMAT...any hope for unsw 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.
