I have some news regarding the Faculty of Medicine Music-Medicine Program Scholarship. The value of the scholarship is $5000 per year for a maximum of 3 years. It will only be awarded to the top 2 students who enrol in B Mus/MBBS in any given year. There is a slight possibility that this one...

Come to think of it, you're right. In the final exam there must have been roughly 200 people. I was doing a guestimate on the number of people who turn up to lectures. Speaking of which, semester 2's stats (adv) must have been demoralising for Weber. We started off with a full lecture theatre...

B Sc (Adv Maths) cutoffs are 99.10 at USYD and 95.00 at UNSW. TSP requirement is (99+ UAI) and (90+ in a HSC scienc or 95+ in MX2). Special entry permission is also givenby the dean to students who have exceptional ability in an area of science shown through things like Olympiad participation...

What degree are you doing and at which uni? If these 2nd year subjects have no prerequisites, then usually you can request for special permission from the faculty to do it in 1st year. You should contact the unit coordinator and discuss the possibilities of arrange something like that. I know...

Only a small fraction of the 70-80 or so students doing advanced level maths do SSP. There were about 15 of us in semester 1 SSP then in semester 2 some people decided not to do it any more and others who did well in semester 1 advanced level maths were invited so the number was about the same...

I did all advanced/SSP level maths in first year and got HD in all of them. I've helped several friends who did normal level maths and from my experience, the normal and advanced subjects are almost identical in content, with the odd extra theorems or two that are only mentioned in advanced...

Hahaha trust USYD to post everything out on the last day before closing. Congratulations! That's really great.

It's looking like it's going to be WAY down the track. It took them almost 2 years to get approval for the economics or business/MBBS combinations. Changing the course structure is going to take a lot of work but the majority of the current students think that a structure like combined law is...

Hahahaha but I don't want to be a GP. :eek:

LOL. Yeah. 96 = 20th in 2007. 96 external and 96 internal. A bit embarrassing, really. Quit waving that light saber at me! As far as I know from something like 10-20th were all on 96. Karen Lee who came 1st got 99. Last year was just weird - highest mark in chem and phys was 98 and bio was...

That's true - I've always had a little worry about that. For the non-science combined med degrees at USYD (arts, music, bussiness, economics), you must complete junior biology or molecular biology/genetics and junior chemistry. I'm planning to do statistics, IT and medicinal chemistry whilst...

Good point - there's that, too. I don't know the answer to that one - that's a really good question. I'm definitely going to ask at the next combined med pathways committee meeting. My general feeling is that after graduating from a bachelor of X degree, the students are much more mature both...

Speaking for USYD, you will always receive a response for any scholarship that you apply whether or not you have been offered it. So if you're still waiting for a response, just sit tight. The university is closed from Dec 22 to Jan 2 so there definitely won't be anything sent out during this...

I posted the numbers in another thread:

I'm in the combined MBBS program, but I'm not doing B Mus/MBBS. I do know the 3 girls who were accepted last year for this particular combo. Most of them are like you - want to become doctors but also passionate about music. I think one of the great things about the combined MBBS program at USYD...

You can spend the money however you like - it's not limited to educational purposes. The scholarship comes in two equal installments - one at the beginning of each semester. The money is transferred into your nominated bank account and that's it. All yours. And for those of you who...

To become a GP you need: 1. MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery) There are three main entry streams into MBBS: - Undergraduate MBBS program <-- requires UAI + UMAT - Graduate MBBS program <-- requires GPA (grade point average) in previously earned bachelor degree (in any field)...

Firstly, congratulations! :) The AAM is basically total marks divided by total credit points for that year. As far as I'm aware, AAM doesn't weight each subject by credit points, which is what WAM (weighted average mark) does. Anyone? The WAM calculator is here. There isn't one for AAM...

One more thing - 2 new combinations are available in 2009: B Business/MBBS B Economics/MBBS They're allowed to take in at most 5 students in those two combos.

After the first two or three lectures on how to organise and represent data, the rest of it is mostly probability. One of the main focuses is on using probability models to make predictions and test hypotheses. Discrete maths on the other hand goes more into the combinations/permutations side...
