Not all unis.

Adelaide has no prerequisites. Monash, OTOH asks for Chemistry. I'm not sure, but I think Melbourne does too.

This ultra smart guy from our school (he knows who he is :)) did only maths (4u), english (4u) and history (3u) and got into Medicine at UNSW. That's right-- no sciences at all!

Plus he did them in yr11 anyway :p
Really? I had no idea! So he did like some sciences in yr 11 and then changed his subjects in year 12 or something? Sounds a bit odd but then again does it really matter in the long run? Meh, congrats to him anyway.

I can't believe you reject math as a science!!!

mathematics

n : a science (or group of related sciences) dealing with the logic of quantity and shape and arrangement [syn: math, maths]

Haha! Quoting sources and all.

I guess maths is sort of science-y when you think about it... but I never really think of maths as being a science...

It's not that important anyway. :p

I think Newcastle only has a prereq of English, but doing Chem certainly wouldn't hurt your uni studies.

you don't need chem at UNSW. Quite a few people in 1st year haven't done it and aren't struggling at all.

Maths = the science of numbers

And is that ultra smart guy mentioned before named David?
