No its not compulsory. The 48UOC is the max you can do (stops people from doing a degree in like 1 year hehe) you can do what a few of my friends do which is called "underloading" which means not doing the 48 UOC and just doing less. It only means your degree will be longer but it means you...

Yeah I decided to do a HPSC course as I did a philosophy course last session and I really enjoyed that (as well as the hours being alot less). I I remember reading in another thread that you're taking on a BIOS 3rd year subject. I could not even consider that. Good luck to you and thankyou...

Thanks so much survivor. I knew you'd know (once again I aparently have to "spread reputation around before giving it to survivor again") I actually e-mailed the faculty with this question and they never replied to me so I decided to take to the boards. Finally, I just wanted to know if...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone (I'm guessing survivor will probably know) what subjects med sci 2nd year students are allowed to do for the section that says "6 UOC from either math, physics, psychology, chem etc. etc." Since thats all it pretty much says I have no idea whether I am...

haha nice one. Hey Ziff, good to see you got into ANU; always noticed you had your hopes set on that law course. Great you got into what you wanted.

UNSW and I'm sure other uni's allow lots of control over your timetable. At UNSW you basically build up your own timetable that suits you, so you can avoid things like only having a 1 hour lecture on a friday etc. Last year I tried spreading my lectures and tutes etc over the week. This year I'm...

Travel passes mean you have free weekly travel on that train line and when you're in sydney you can use the travel pass for any sydney buses (not westbus though) and you can also use any ferries etc. Travel passes are good for getting to uni though as it means once at central you can use the...

lol survivor you should have kept your post as it was originally. Hilarious stuff. Oh well the world will never know now.

Not true. The majority of graduate medicine students in most universities come from a medical science degree. The source for my information comes from the faculty websites of Aus uni's. Take a look at uSyd's website; they have that information readily availbale. Perhaps the top 10 will be...

It applies to most universities (uMaq and UWS have a different system with internal transfers). I know it applies to UNSW as I have phoned up and asked during mid year transfer time but I didnt go through with any transfers i.e. they told me to take my uai and add the FTE of my GPA and divide by...

I'm sorry i forgot to factor in you've finished your 1st year of study. Your calculation is correct. You can transfer to UNSW or USYD with cutoffs below 77.3 (your tertiary mark) but please dont use my advice as the final advice. Always make sure you phone up the institution and ask them for...

I am just assuming that you've factored that fail unit into your GPA? If you didnt do that already.. just tell me how many units of credit that subject was worth and I can re-calculate it for you. 4.63 GPA coupled with a UAI of 67.6 then that gives you a tertiary rank of 76.3. Use this as...

Yes I really like it when ignorant people just make up statistics about unis. Thankyou very much. Thankyou.

bout 2 hours each way

After 1 year of study, with a UAI of 63 and a GPA of 5.5 (credit average) will give you a tertiary rank (just use it like you use the UAI) of 77 If you get that distinction average though which is a GPA of 6.0, you'll get a tertiary rank of 78.5 So you'll be able to get into alot of...

ok so I've just tried to enrol and I am just so confused with all the options med sci gives. Survivor, do you have any idea which subjects you're choosing there are about 8 different anatomy courses to choose from and 4 bio chemistry subjects to choose from and others and from that pool we have...

I do the same course as yourself i.e. medical science and I believe were in the same year just having finished my first year. I just tried enrolling and using the "search by program" I believe its called at it doesnt bring up any subjects for medical science :( This is going to be tough for...

so so true. I always go by search by course but I had no idea there are now problems with it for 2nd years.

You're both correct. To reduce the amount of "scabbing" you have to go to New South Q which is located next to the library lawn on the side closest to Matthews building. It costs between $50-$100 to have anything done if I remember correctly (I am probably quite off but I just remember to even...

please tell me that you added Avril in there as a joke?
