    Is this the access code? And is Mastering biology different from the Campbell stuff? Also, on the co-op pages, will it be better to buy the textbooks that are labelled as 'prescribed by your lecturer'? Buying textbooks is always so stressful haha I feel insecure without them yet I don't want to...

    Haha sorry I just got a bit paranoid. I'm all calm now :D By the way, may I ask if you're one of those really really good at maths people? Like 100 for maths 3u HSC and 98 for maths 4u OvO I heard that MATH1051 is more maths 3u than 4u, and admittedly although I enjoyed maths 4u I did struggle...

    Cool I want to try out MATH1051 :D Have you tried SCIE1000? Is it easy or would MATH1051 be more fun/better? I want to replace SCIE1000 with MATH1051 but I'm super paranoid that someone in the future will go "hmmm you didn't take SCIE1000 did you? Now you can't get into med/will be...

    Also, another question I wanted to ask was whether university chemistry was much harder than high school chemistry. I didn't do yr.12 chemistry so I'm not sure if I'll manage university chemistry (especially any of the ones that might exist in second year and third year)..

    Awesome. Thanks for the help :) It does seem interesting so I might give it a go, even if I do end up dropping out of it halfway through haha. Except the course structure for extended major in biomedical science seemed a bit different from the extended major in biomed science with ASPinS, so I'm...

    Phew thank you :) As for my UMAT split: Section 1: 60 Section 2: 58 Section 3:68 Maybe my sections 2 and 1 were too low compared to section 3.. So do you think they compare the scores themselves to determine who they give an interview offer to? Since my friend who is non GWS and got lower...

    Oh right yes that makes sense :) And I was also skeptical about what certain people were saying about Bond, because don't all unis learn basically the same thing and all graduates have the same qualification no matter what uni? I myself was going to try Bond before I saw the fees :speechless...

    Niiice. Thank you :D But I was wondering, if a student can easily get a minimum average GPA of 5.0 (with reasonable studying) and so get into MD in UQ, why do so many of the students try to go to a NSW uni? Aren't all medical degrees the same across Australia regardless of uni (except Bond...
