maths is not a prerequisite for medicine. so if you can get a high enough atar without it then you can drop for sure.

there are no prerequisites for medicine.. except english obviously.

chemistry is very maths-oriented to an extent... i remember a teacher saying for chem or physics 2 unit adv maths is recommended. keep maths for now... you can always drop later.

WRONG. chem is a prereq at some unis. and chem and bio are recommended knowledge at all unis.

I didn't do any maths for the HSC. I also did chem (and got a band 6 regardless of my lacking math skills). I also had similar concerns to you. The answer is no, you do not need to do 2u maths, or any kind of maths, to get into medicine.

FINALLY a question that is NOT about "umat group fucking discount" !!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you're sweet with chem then you'll be alright

in first year you should come across some basic statistics (pain in the ass) and just mathematical relationships in biochem
but it's all stuff you'll definitely get the hang of after study

Personally I didn't do bio for the HSC but haven't really found it a big problem, you can pick bio up pretty quick.

man, not doing hsc bio was such a derp

There's basically no maths in medicine and minimal chemistry (beyond understanding the chemistry underlying the interactions of amino acids). English is far more important, as is a very good memory.

If you believe you can get the marks without maths to get in to med then go for it.

what if you are good in maths and physics but do not do chemistry, would that affect you in getting into the course

 

[Jackie.bored]

Depends on the uni.

 

[alen180sx]

Depends on the uni.

would you be able to do a chem bridging course to get in?

It really depends on the university, the universities that have chem is a prereq e.g. JCU, Bond, Monash, Utas, etc generally no.

I thought chemistry was a prerequisite for medicine...
