Nope, other ones asks about related texts. Mine is about prescribed.

What are the chances of them asking us to use a specific poem/text or text type? I'm sure last year's mod b screwed over heaps of people, surely they wouldn't do it again this year. But then it is BoS, so anything can happen. If so then I'll be pretty screwed. Thoughts?

So would you say it's realistic or would it only be for the top 10 worthy? 90+ in most seems like such an impossible task.

I've asked this before but right now my ATAR estimate is sitting around the 95 mark. I was wondering if it's possible to get at least 97. School rank: top 5 Ranks were: Eng Adv: 150/200 Maths 3U: 61/170 Maths 4U: 65/120 Physics: 77/110 Biology: 23/32 How well must I do in...

Any specifics you can think of?

What do you guys think cliched creative plots are, e.g bullying, migration etc.

Hi, my school (top 5) gave me an estimate of 95ish ATAR. Considering this, how well would I have to do in externals to boost it up to 97+ ? Ranks were: Eng Adv: 150/200 Maths 3U: 61/170 Maths 4U: 65/120 Physics: 77/110 Biology: 23/32

I'm applying for medicine at the University of Adelaide and it says a prerequisite required is either chemistry, biology or mathematical studies. What I'm wondering is that if 4U and/or 3U mathematics is the same as mathematical studies. Thanks in advance.

So I read the threshold UMAT required is roughly 149 (based on the 1:1:0.5 weighting). What is the overall percentile you'd say this is? Even if the overall percentile might not necessarily reflect this, I'd like to feel some sense of security since I don't think I did too well in my UMAT :(

So even if I just get the required predicted ATAR but my UMAT is shocking although passable, I'd still be able to obtain an interview in November? Or would I have to wait till my actual ATAR for a chance at an interview later on.

I have just read the UAC 2013 guide and under B Medicine/B Surgery, it says "Applicants who have not completed a degree must attain a minimum ATAR of 95.50 (or equivalent) unless they meet the criteria for Greater Western Sydney residence in which case the minimum ATAR (or equivalent) required...
