i got offer for med a uncle too!
not sure if i'll got though coz i have 1 year left of sci@unsw and could go for med@usyd uni via gamstat and stay in syd and it'd take the same time....

let me kno what u guys think?
would it be better for a career in med to have a Bsci too?

a BSci is handy.. but i think its only really got more value if u got the honours which i assume u are doing... since its taken 4 yrs..

whether u take it.. depends on 2 variables.. GAMSAT performance and Usyd interview..

Ur call u have a med course and u have the above things to worry about .. do u think its worth it?

hey, congrats

depends on what you want to do really, whether you want to pay for the boarding in newcastle, living away from home (not getting your BSci)
I did BSci at usyd too, it's not going to help you much in anyway i dont think, unless you want to make your business card look more pro.

Hans brix, u could defer, then if something happens and u can't get into usyd u've still got ur newc offer? Not sure what u'd do with the Bsci... gues it depends what u want to with ur med degree too.

i dont think you can defer
newc only allow deferments if you're doing honours/postgraduate studies or you need to work for $$ or travel or something

alvin: i'm so sorry! :( i'll never let it slip again >< wahh

thanks heaps everyone for the advice:), yea its a tough decision
no i'm not doing post grad or honours, so i probably can't defer....
the course sounds great but newcastle is far from the sydney, but i guess i can still commute back home on weekends...

Well congrats on the newcastle offer!

i changed to med as well after 2 years at usyd science

like in the end, you don't really need the science degree (it just feels like a waste of 2 years, but then theres such thing as wasted knowledge)

besides, the degree is valid for 10 years (you can go back and finish it off if you want your money's worth :D
