    Introducing: Dentistry at La Trobe University

    Did not know they allowed deferring! Besides the point. Congrats. Biology will be much more useful to you than Chemistry. Very little chemistry thus far, and as I am aware, almost 95% of theory based work will be finished by 3rd year. In other words, no chemistry, if you understand the...

    Intelligence

    +1. The awkward silences when you bring up a "smart" topic changes to the "what movies have you seen". BOR-ING. Either good convo or get physical. Either one. Oh and yes, would never date someone dumb. Intelligence +++ brownie points.

    Macbook Vs iMac

    If you're buying a Macbook pro, DO NOT GET IT NOW. It's updating in about a month, hold still and you'll be getting yourself a Quad-core i5 Macbook Pro for roughly the same price. But yes, get a laptop, the quad core will be more than enough for your movie-editing needs + it's portable.

    Does undergraduate dentistry exist in Australia?

    They're outliers. I know 2 student in our course with less than 90's. But come-on, they were rural entry. Have to be realistic around here. I still have a devastated friend with 99.15 (last year) and is now doing optometry. She still cries about not making it into LTU's Dentistry course a YEAR...
