Unfortunately - generally no,
universities will not reschedule your medical interview unless there are unforeseen, circumstances - a pre-scheduled trip to Thailand is definitely not one of those. ...

Yeah - the reason for the increase in competition for my year was because of the introduction of the other advanced courses, namely advanced medical science and advanced natural science (although I...

Definitely not a few hundred.. i'd probably guess it to be around the 60-70 mark.
At Parramatta there were only about 20 kids doing adv sci.
And in terms of the ATARs of the students in the...

Maths 1A - 8/10
If you didn't do Maths Ext 1 or Maths Ext 2 the topics will definitely all be new.
The topics/concepts taught can be a little challenging but this is compensated for by the...

Yes.
Look at the UWS school of medicine page.
Adv Sci / Adv Med Sci students have the advantage of a potentially reduced UMAT cut-off.

All other UWS students and all other nonstandard and...

UMAT is almost always the deciding factor when it comes to receiving an interview.

Most interview invitations are based solely off UMAT (as GPA's and ATAR's are not yet released).
Furthermore,...

Type in your unit code and you'll receive a list of texts.

Haha, yeah of course there is! :)
Best of luck!
almost always just comes down to UMAT score.. lol, which is preety hit and miss anyway.
Hopefully yours is hit :P

Should. Have. Done. Adv Sci. @. UWS :P

But yeah, basically, if your goal is Med -
Do the UMAT each of the years of your Undergraduate degree (if worst comes to worst)
Do the GAMSAT the penultimate year of your degree (year 2 for nursing...

Where does it say this?

2011 - UMAT of 50th percentile, ATAR of 98.75 -> no Medicine due to poor UMAT score and did not apply to non-UMAT schools, namely JCU.

2012 - Entered into Advanced Science at UWS, achieved a GPA...

Yeah, jbobs is correct.

You are definitely eligible to apply as a nonstandard to a number of medical schools in Australia. The majority will consider your GPA and will disregard your ATAR, e.g....

Oh, should have gone to Parramatta if you could, lol.
So much closer! And wouldn't effect your chances at all at entry into Med via the adv sci scheme.. that's what I did.

Also, whereabouts do you live.. I'm surprised your going to Campbelltown if it takes 2 hrs to get there.. Wasn't there a campus closer? E.g. Parramatta or Hawkesbury.

Nope - I hardly attended any lectures and managed to do okay.
The majority of your lectures will be recorded.

Yeah, even if your ATAR doesn't work out, do the UMAT anyway for experience.
Once you start your first year of uni you'll be able to apply again to undergraduate medical schools using your GPA.

You don't need an ATAR in the high 90's for a realistic chance at Med.
If your GWS, you'll only need an ATAR of 93.55 for a shot at Med, if you hit around 96 then you'll open up doors for...

^Why not aim for undergrad MBBS?

what and where do you study ^ ?

basically, same as med -> ATAR/UMAT/Interview.

True.

Alternatively, pursue further postgraduate study in another field of interest, e.g. Juris Doctor in Law, Masters of Pharmacy, Teaching, Nutrition etc. So instead of actually using the...

Studying whole HSC Chem syllabus by yourself in prep for uni??

I too had all of those "what if's" back when I graduated in 2011, I also had a lot of external pressure from peers and family and other factors that came into play. At the end of the day, believe me...
