Best way to med science? (1 Viewer)

[cra-z]

Hey everyone, I got a very very dissapointing ATAR of only 59.5 and was wondering what the best way to med science is? UWS has a cutoff of 72 and even with bonus points I still won't make it, I was thinking of doing 1 year of computing at UWS then transferring (which my atar is high enough for), is this the best way?

Just keep it as your pref if you are really keen on doing med sci. You never know, but yeah the ATAR for med sci is different for all the uws campuses. Hawkesbury has the lowest I think. But if that fails do what you think you will do well at and enjoy that you can get into. Do well around/below credit average and you should be able to transfer across using your grade point average (GPA), and you have to apply through uac again next year, etc.

Good luck

Thanks a lot for your reply I'll probably end up doing that

whats the point of doing med sci at unsw or syd? UWS is fine for medsci.

also you better pull your socks up coz uni is no joke, coz your atar is pretty bad

Best of luck! Try UWS first and if you do well in first year you can transfer to any university you want.

Do you like your course Wooz? It's -at this stage- going to be first preference for 2011 HSC and I wondered if the rumours UWS means "U Went Shit" are true?

Ergh, yes.

For general degrees at UWS yes that's the stigma. It doesn't apply to medicine, if we were sh*t students with poor prospects why would they even consider having a med school at UWS etc. All med students come out with the same AMC syllabus standards and equal opportunities unless your an international student, etc.
