The medical science degree is much more structured than a regular BSci... saying that you can do the EXACT same subjects in both degrees. Im not sure if ANU offers a biomedics degree but you could easily tailor a BSci to that.
Re: Is medical science course for ANU closed for year 12s in 2015 or just for the 201
Its closed for 2014 year 12s because they cant get late round offers. It will open for you after the offer rounds are done for 2014 yr 12s. ANU courses begin in feb each year.
my marks were
Adv maths 93
Bio 90 (exam 92 assessment 87)
Eng 90
German 96
Italian 97
so similar except bio/chem and italian/eco? haha
but yeah my ATAR was 98.35
Did you redo the UMAT in your 2nd year to get an offer at Newcastle?
Im looking to do the same thing but I haven't done the UMAT so I will need to do it this year (1st year uni).
sorry you didn't get johns :( I think the best thing to do at this point would be to accept the offer as you may not get another one?
If you're from the ACT its probably a different story but if you're coming interstate i would want to secure accommodation if possible.
Unilodge isn't that far...
How long ago did you apply? The colleges only just reopened this week so they have loads of applications to sort through!
I don't really know, but I'd assume that because you've chosen catered they will try to keep you in a catered college (hopefully)!
I agree about it being stressful, I've...
My first preference is a double flexible degree! The atar cut-off is 80 for what I want and my atar is over 98! Should i be worried that I won't receive an offer in the main round?
yep my cut-off is 80 so I was hoping for one but no luck!! Plus some colleges won't release offers until you're enrolled which doesn't leave a lot of time :( Its hard being so last minute, especially cause I'm coming down from sydney!
haha all good! I'm going down to do a double degree science/Languages which you cant do anywhere else! I got into med science (~93) or probs languages at sydney (98.5) with EAS but I really want to do them both! Plus I want the experience of moving away from home/interstate etc
On the ANU website they say you have to do the bridging course, one year of regular science then apply to transfer into medSci! So annoying! I wonder whether its even worth doing - I feel like normal science would be sufficient and I can pick more medical based electives! I did yr 11 chem so I'm...
Wow thanks so much for your answer! I'll be heading down to ANU next year and they aren't too keen on letting me into med science without yr 12 chemistry :( I'm planning on coming back to syd for postgrad med though!
