hi!
im so confused with my uac options and i dont know whether i should put med sci/law above med sci or the other way around. if i do med sci/law though, can i drop the law bit any time i want if i dont like it?

thanks!

depends... do you start your academic yr with science .. or law... or a bit of both?

 

[fashionista]

it's a bit of both, they deans and such said that the topics would interweave

bugger... ah well try it out, you should be able to drop your double major if you dont like it... or just fail one and they'll drop it for you

wollongong seem really flexible tho with interchanging within the uni... my tour guide started out with civil engineering to arts/psychology to medical science.. she only did like a yr of the other two...

im so confused. i dont know whether i should keep med sci as my first preference or biotechnology, because biotech has more career options and has some of the subjects i wanna do, but med sci has more subjects i wanna do but the thing is if i dont get into post grad med or dentistry then im stuck with a degree with fewer career options..plus biotech has more research or so ive heard....so should i go with gut feeling..or logic?

fewer career options?

well, a med sci degree with law could mean many thingz

ur skills could be used in environmental health management - in places like , well u know already-

and any sci degree with law can be used in like patenting law specialists and that kinda thing

its like what ive said all along (to my friends)- its not what course u take that leads u somewhere, its where u want to lead ur degree. my physics teacher said to me: decide where u wanna go, and decide how ur gonna get there!

Read that post. If you think you're going to enjoy Med Sci more than Biotechnology, then do Med Sci. Fuck career prospects. You COULD end up getting into Postgrad Med School, and well there's plenty of career prospects/need for what comes out of those places.
