Weird course choices

Anyone choose a course that seems (stupidly) weird when you look at the subjects you completed in 08?

I'm doing Med Sci. I dunno, I just decided I don't wanna study commerce, law or any of that shit. Bridging courses ooooookay.

:/

2U Maths and no sciences. You're gonna do it tough in Med Science!

Rhanoct · 7 Jan 2009, 12:58 AM

Umm, I think my maths is fine for MedSci, despite my HSC marks (don't go there!). Will be doing the Chem bridging course in Feb along with some general chem study from textbooks before the semester starts. There's also bio, but most of the people I know who are doing MedSci didn't study bio, and most of the bio is pretty basic anyway (or so I'm told!).

Derno, I'm just sick of the Arts for now and there's no way in fucking hell I'm doing a business degree for 5 years. I suppose, for me, it's the whole 'you never know if you don't try'- maybe science is for me?

What am I talking about, I'm just a retard.

Arts Major in English with ESL.

icecoffee · 7 Jan 2009, 5:54 AM

HSC subjects: eng adv, ext eng, 2u maths, ext maths, chemistry, physics and studies of religion (1U).

Planning to do Commerce (liberal studies) without any prior business/economics subjects. *am slightly freaking out*

Rhanoct, what career do you have in mind for medical science? I was contemplating this but the job prospects seem to revolve around research and not much else?

Rhanoct · 7 Jan 2009, 8:05 AM

right now i'm only doing it to develop my knowledge of the sciences (first year is basically bio and chem). gonna take STAT and UMAT this year, so in 2010 i might try transfer to pharmacy or optometry.

btw, you should be fine with commerce. there are lots of people who pick it up without any business subjects. plus, you did 3u!

lyounamu · 7 Jan 2009, 8:17 AM

I am not sure if your choice is weird at all. It depends on where you passion lies. You will not necessarily struggle. It's just that you will do more work than everyone else basically. And I am sure you won't be the only one.

veloc1ty · 7 Jan 2009, 11:25 AM

Well I did both economics and business studies (with business being my best subject) and now abhor the thought of doing a commerce degree.

4unitfreak · 7 Jan 2009, 11:48 AM

Was planning to do Medicine or Medical Science so I picked 3U Maths, Phys and Chem with only Advanced English. First choice is now Law at Newcastle.

mandathepanda · 7 Jan 2009, 1:29 PM

Oh ok, that sounds good. Medical science is my second preference (weird, i know) and i was thinking about doing STAT as well. Do you know if it's hard to pass?

If i get into commerce hopefully i'll survive! I guess i'll just have to do lots of reading to brush up on all the terms and jargon!
