Both Rookie and Dylan have given detailed responses that will hopefully answer your questions - so I'm not going to repeat what they have said. Instead, I will tell you about my personal experience...

Congrats Safraaz for getting into Ad Sc at UWS. Now the hard work begins!

hmmm... that's not good then. So the only chance of getting into Med for him would be to ace his BSc at UWS and do well in GAMSAT. I don't like the sound of that.

I think you can transfer to UNSW...

It's likely that they won't consider your GPA because you haven't completed a full year of university studies.

Can he transfer to Adv Sc at UWS after 1 year of regular science and be able to use the lateral transfer scheme to get into UWS Med? It's just that Safraaz sounds a bit desperate and graduate entry...

hahaha. I just realised how old I have become. Yep, all the way back in 2004 when I did CHEM1011. May be 1011 is easier now?! :P

I think that's fine. Are you hoping to get the chemistry credits from UNSW for the new degree? If you do low level chemistry like CHEM1001 the new degree might not recognise it. I'm not sure about...

Ok I see. Well if you find chemistry dreadful I would avoid CHEM1011 at all cost (since you don't need to do it). I did HSC Chem myself and found CHEM1011 and CHEM1021 difficult. I know that usually...

First year Maths is definitely do-able for someone who is not that strong in maths. I don't think I'm great in Maths so I was dreading it but I did pretty well at the end. Just pick the easiest...

Yep. I did HSC Chem but found CHEM1011 quite difficult.

Biology related I think. But generally do things you are good at.
B Psych is quite competitive, especially when you try to compete for places in the Honours year, so you want to get good marks.

Do you mean doing all of the above and not going to any lectures? I wouldn't recommend it - it's always good to go to the lectures and see which bits are important and which bits aren't. There is too...

So should study on your own and pick CHEM1011. If it is way too hard for you then drop down to CHEM1001 after a few weeks. Chemsitry is hard for most people, but remember you only need to pass (get...

Both Med Sc and BSc are beneficial for GAMSAT preparation because you can essentially do the same subjects (literally in the same lecture, tutorial and lab together).

I'm not entirely clear what...

Don't forget you need a solid understanding of Maths for the GAMSAT. There is no point achieving a high GPA with low GAMSAT scores.

Are you interested in Health Science? I would suggest look into...

Can you consider doing B Science and then trasnfer to the combined degree after 1 year?

May be do MATH1041 since it's compulsory.

To SunnyScience, may I just offer a piece of advice? Try not to get fixated on marks and the top 10 WAM business because you cannot predict how you will...

If you get good marks in either degree (Health Science or Forensic) you should stand a good chance of being accepted into M physiotherapy. But do go with whichever one interests you the most and do...

You can include a cover sheet but I feel that busy academics wouldn't be bothered reading it. Many of them just want to know that you are enthusiastic and have good marks.

I was offered three...

I was awarded a few of these during my times at UNSW. I think the best thing to do is to approach the academics first. The sample e-mail you had there sounds good. I would also attach your CV and...

Great advice from everybody already. It's been suggested to me that for every hour of lecture/tutorial/lab, you should study 1 h at home. So 24 units of credit per semester = 24 h of uni per week...

Sounds like a good plan. However, I can't see a problem with doing Adv Sc either. There is no difference doing B Psych or B Adv Sc majoring in Psych - they are essentially the same degree with...

Dylanamali and lvella10 have both provided excellent responses so I will keep mine short. Judging by your statement about 'the goal is getting intoMedicine as quickly as possible to minimise fees', B...

hmm, I'm pretty sure you can't enrol in first year medicine subjects (which has no prereq) if you are not in the MBBS program, otherwise they will have a lot of random science people doing medicine -...

I think it should be fine to enrol in MATH1131 and PHYS1121 in programs like B Science or B Arts.

I'm not sure about ENGG1000 because it doesn't seem to be covered by the area of major in Science...
