I cant find a job either! :( Mind you, I have a job, but i need another one! I took a gap yr so that I could work and get youth allowance. Ive worked at Big W for over 3 yrs,but its only casual, so its no where near enough to get the 18 grand (or whatever it is these days!) for youth allowance...

Just discovered the threadless site. I want so many tees! Too bad im poor... :(

I wish Buffy was still on. Recently got all 7 series, and am loving it! My thoughts: Season 1 was just ok, the Master was a pretty lame big bad, but its all understandable since it was the first season (and 1996, id forgotten how...90s everything used to be lol). Season 2 was great...

Or, I could move out lol. I have my reasons... (anyway, i wasnt just taking a gap yr so i could move out, its just a bonus)

Sure is. Thats why im taking a gap yr so that I can work to qualify for youth allowance so I can afford to move out of home. Lots of people do it, especially if your from the country.

Dont worry too much about your extra curriculars. Sure, they are important, but you dont need ot go filling your week with a bunch of sporting/social/cultural activities just to get in. All the interviewers are looking for is that you have a life outside of school and dont just study all the...

It depends on the uni, Once you have an RRMA of 3 (1 being inner city and 7 being woop woop) or above, you are considered rural. At some unis, at least at UNSW, rurality is wieghted, so you are at more of an advantage the higher your RRMA rating. Howver at UNCLE, you are either rural or not...

Ive been thinking about asking this guy outfor a while now, but have been too much of a wuss, but after reading this thread (and especially melimoos posts!), i might... And i dont know wat to ask him out to do, eg coffee,a movie etc. Ive never been on a 'date' before, ive only gone out with...

Chicken, pasta (pasta salad) and avocado salad, with cracked black pepper. We sell it at work, and i love it so i make my own now! Its delicious!

A ridiculously high UMAT and an awesome interview @Kevin, ive heard of a few 96s at UNSW, but they have either been rural (which has a seperate entry scheme with lower requirements) or crazy UMAT scores (like you said). But it is possible. @mark, Im not asian (why does everyone I talk 2 on...

Just a correction: At UWS and Newcastle, the UAI is just a hurdle. Once you pass that hurdle (last yr at UWS it was 95, 93 if you are GWS, and 93.8 at UNCLE), the mark becomes irrelevant, therefore someone with 95 has as much chance of getting in as someone with 100. So its not highly...

As opposed to non-working families...? Ive always thought that phrase was meaningless

Dont worry, i get that you arent attacking me :) I personally havent gone through botth processes (only one!) but Ive heard from other peoples experience, and a few other factors. Its basically what Siddharthlaha said, but adding to that, there is also the fact that for grad med you can only...

Hey, Just thought id join in the UWS med discussion since i will be doing med at UWS (...in 2009, i deferred lol). @redshoes: At UWS the academic mark (be it UAI, GPA etc) is simply a hurdle, so once you get over the hurdle it becomes irrelvant. So yeah, the UMAT score you would need does is...

Hi tamz, You should really check out this website: http://www.medstudentsonline.com.au. There are lots of medical students on the forums, so they should be able to help you out.

I got into undergrad med with a UAI of less than 98. I know several others who did too. Also, graduate entry (not 'post-grad', theres a difference) is not easier to get into than undergrad med. Just thought id point that out. Edit: Woozy beat me to it

Thanks for the info guys. The 5000 per annum for Academic Acheivement one is the one im talking about. Will apply when application open later in the yr...

Weve got the self serves at our store. They are causing more trouble than they are worth.

Despite being obsessed with everything Whedon (Firefly FTW!), I have just started getting into Buffy. Got all 7 seasons (30 bucks each cos they were having a sale at work). Absolutely love it, my favourite episode (so far! im only halfway through season 2!) is Becoming part II. I love 'The...
