    Where are you going to live?

    Living on campus allows you to have all the immaturity that an 18 year can possess with no disapproving parents hanging around... it is the best thing ever.

    UAI/UMAT for medicine

    It is EXTREMLY unlikely, I'm talking you shouldn't even think about it unlikely that you will get 10 points from EAS. I can think of two people who got those points they are a) one girl had her brother die of leukemia during year 12 b) a guy driving had a car crash, where two people died 3...

    PLEASE Help About Medicine!

    Wooz, when I said that the rural program only included people from SA, I meant that there is only one rural program and that is the South Australian Bonded Agreements, in which you can only apply for if you live in South Australia. Apart from that there is no rural program whatsoever. Or at...

    Interview - Leadership, Role Model Experience

    Okay... I know I went over the top with my co-curriculars, but I don't think that's good enough. You have to realise that med is pretty much one of that top courses to get into in terms of prestige. So it attracts A LOT of overachieving- "makes you want to beat them up they're so perfect" sort...

    Medical Interviews

    I'm not really sure as pretty much I figured out anything that could possibly be a prerequisate and did it... yeah keen a bit. I think most places have "assumed" or "recommended" but not actually "prerequisate" in their wording. There is always bridging courses to be had, and many places like...

    bonded, csp, full-fee paying

    What you have to understand is that with full fee, CSP and bonded, they all have the same selection criteria, you have to go through the same process.

    Med at ANU

    From memory the application isn't that comprehensive... I spent very little time on it. UMAT isn't taken into consideration, but you will have to sit the GAMSAT later on down the track.

    Employment after uni in relation to which uni you went to

    You should have a look at the Mac law graduates average pay of first year graduates and compare it to USyd, see if there is a large difference. You'd be able to find it in the Good university guides or something like that. As for transferring, the lovely people on the law board would probably...

    Employment after uni in relation to which uni you went to

    Its absolutely ridiculous to say that the ONLY people who get jobs went to USyd. A family friend is currently working as a respected barrister and she went to **gasp** UTS. If you're really worried you can always transfer across after your first year or so.

    Medicine in 2009

    actually 95% of people who get into the UNSW course graduate... we heard the stats on Orientation day. They don't like people dropping out, that's why the application process is so intense. Oh and if you start failing assessments there is a person who is in charge of figuring out why this is...
