You can hide this advertisement by registering.

I have a bit to add, but I don't want this thread to go off topic so I won't. Some of the things in the two posts above are inaccurate though.

Anyway, Newcastle has released their application information for 2005, go to their website to download a copy.

yeah cmon tell ussss!! might as well splurge on your 5000th post here

Lexicographer · 31 Jul 2004, 6:51 AM

5000!!!

Now, onto business. I have a feeling that I did better this year than last, especially in §III. I only had to guess two of the eleven shapes, and maybe three of the... er... twenty-nine? sequences. The rest were pretty damn easy. I might just pull off a >270 aggregate (that was my goal for this year).

Fingers crossed.

well, if i can do it, you can also do so!
im glad you did so well in the third section...must be my secret weapon *wink*
i guessed much more than that and i got 94, so you can chill now

hi, i just wanted to ask anyone of u guys about interstate uni's

firstly, i may go interstate and i was wondering how i can support myself if i leave home since i dont get youth allownce so wat do i do? ( get a job interstate, get a loan/ etc)

btw quote by pointdexter "actualli im not eligble for youth n rent allowance.. so im on a loan" wat sort of loan??? and for wat period e.g. semester, year ??

one general question for all med students: can u guys pay of HECS after u have completed ur degree and start working or do u have to take a loan?

thanx in advance

Commonwealth Supported Places are the same as HECS, and Medicine is just another course. If you are in a CSP you don't pay until you reach the middle tax bracket (around $30,000) which for med graduates is internship (ie first year out of uni).

im borrowing money from my brother... its a family loan..

its the worse kind lolz.. u never hear the end of it.. btw i think he wants a lexus or BMW in return lolz

last yr i had a job with 15 hrs pw.. but that was still tough.. it covered about 60%.. my brother covered the 40% which is mainly rent.. im eating into my trust fund and savings too..

otherwise most ppl qualify for youth allowance.. im just stuck in an awkward situation .. cos im just over the threshold

jang · 18 Jan 2005, 1:25 AM

so u dont get youth allowance because u work too much pointdexter?

also, to those that goto UMelb, where can u live there? and wat is there to do there?

Did you get the offer from UMelb?

I got a mate who got an offer for Bachelor of combined Medicine/Surgery/Medical Science at University of Melbourne.

He reckons that because he also got a high UAI (low 99), that this course is accelerated to 6years where it normally takes 7 or 8 years.

I got an offer from Uni of Melb, but not for Med! Lol.

As for Accommodation in Melbourne:
The University for Melbourne has several colleges and can be found at the intercollegiate website:
http://www.colleges.unimelb.edu.au/
All of the colleges are listed on this page:
http://www.colleges.unimelb.edu.au/collegesummary.html

However, there is lots of Student Accommodation in and around Melbourne depending upon what you want to do. The University has an accommodation office helping students find houses, flats, apartments etc. Also, there is a bookstore in Lygon St, Carlton (approx 2 blocks from Uni) called 'Readings' that has a window of accommodation advertisements if you wish to live with someone who doesn't go to uni...

As for what to do! Plenty! Parkville campus is a 5min tram ride from the GPO. It's pretty much in the CBD, and not to mention a beautiful university.

I don't go there, I will be in 2006, but my sis has been there the past 4 years.

+Po1ntDeXt3r+ · 18 Jan 2005, 3:30 PM

nope..
cos UMelb does 18 extra credit points that Adel does as non-med electives and lik the first 3 yrs of 6 yr courses are basically medsci..
its just that in melb u get 1 subject more a term in medical sci.. its the unis decision.. other unis let u hav gen eds and electives in that time..

**inasero** · 18 Jan 2005, 3:38 PM

monash is 5 yrs cos we have no gen ed...the reason why some people shun unsw and UMelb. Could be bad or good the way you see it.

volta · 18 Jan 2005, 4:27 PM

Don't want to seem ignorant, but could you explain the term 'gen ed' inasero?

**inasero** · 18 Jan 2005, 4:31 PM

dont worry you're not expected to know it...yet...
see in UNSW they like to broaden your horizons and develop you as a global citizen so they offer you a few subjects outside of your major course of study and which one u pick doesnt have to be related. You can learn basket weaving if you want! Im just saying at Monash they don't offer such an experience so all you'll be doing is learning biology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, chemistry, radiology and the like....
