[Lexicographer]

So yeah, impossible.

Whoa okay. This would include a pretty shiny UMAT score as well right?

oh yeh, totally forgot that

a marvellous umat score would be the standard requirement

i'd be more worried about that HD average, pretty hard to maintain in adv sci/med sci

1st year transfers into UNSW med.. Does anyone know the realistic chances of this? Maybe I heard wrong, but at Open day i got the impression that transfers were close to impossible.

Clever_angel, thats a pretty high UAI tho, so I'm thinking u have a better than average chance tho. (At least I hope so, cos if u dont I have little chance at a med transfer anywhere haha)

if u mean med to med ... it kinda is.. e.g. newcastle med to UNSW med..

but if u meant from non-related course to med ... slightly more realistic lik Med Sci to Med

sorry could quite make a distinction in ure line of questioning

I'm not sure if this is the question you're asking, but getting credit for time already spent studying in another course/uni for unsw med is assessed case by case and is extremely rare - mainly occurs for people who started med somewhere else. That's what i understand when you say transfer. if you mean transfer in the sense that you gain entry to unsw med to start at the beginning of 1st year, ignore me, everyone else has beaten me there.

You will generally need 98 uai and excellent umat, or 99+ and very good umat. You'll need to work harder if you want to get into med. I suggest you do some research to answer your own questions.

Alas for the poor first-time poster. Probably just joined and had a very quick squiz at the threads thinking "screw it, I'll just ask".

After all, it's not easy to read every thread.

Oh, and don't forget great interview.

 

[sikeveo]

most candidates perform average on the interview.

 

[Bob.J]

hence most ppl in unsw are like 99.6+ anyway

 

[sikeveo]

yeh roughly half.

most candidates perform average on the interview.

Yes...that's what average means.

I meant a non-related course to med. I'll most likely be doing physiotherapy at USYD next year, resitting UMAT and going into Med 1st Year in 2007 or whenever/just keeping on with physio (which is cool too). I think aiming for UNSW is a tad unrealistic because I have a <98 UAI, so I'll look into UWS a bit and maybe overseas (Malaysian) uni's with twinning.

 

[Bob.J]

Yes...that's what average means.

hahahahahhaaha

Rep points to Lex! (imaginary)

 

[Vampire]

Yes...that's what average means.

Bahahaha that's quality...

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

Yes...that's what average means.

harsh but statistically accurate

 

[Bob.J]

is it possible to get banned from BoS? i gotta stop coming here -_-

 

[Lexicographer]

Hmm I can take care of that if you're desperate...

 

[Vampire]

Ok so is it possible for me to apply for 1st year med at unsw again if i'm at usyd this year, re-do UMAT, and have academic merit 50:50 as well as interview?
