    Medicine at Newcastle

    what the? subjects that you should do before med.... well basically nothing! seriously, nothing you do in high school will help you in med. it doesn't matter what you've done or haven't, because you'll do it all in 1st semester anyways, and then after that its all brand new med specific...

    2006 UMAT results

    i think UWS is going same as Newcastle and UAI is a hurdle. at newcastle atleast, uai doesnt matter once your over hurdle. u get an interview based on umat, and get in based on interview, as long as ur uai is over 93. if 2 ppl tie on interview for the last place in med, then they go to UMAT...

    Newcastle Interview?

    hi all! first let me say that Uni of Newcastle most definitely doesnt release cutoffs, because they change from year to year depending who applies and what marks the applicants get... its same as UAI/UAC.. top applicants get in.. thus law could hypothetically go down to 60 if noone wanted to...

    Differences Between Uni Courses?

    I'm biased cause I'm a newcastle student, so bear that in mind! but UWS isn't only one to do training with GP's. we def. do here at newcastle, and i'm sure every course has GP attachment requirements. as for UNSW having greater opportunities for research... it's a 6 yr degree cause u take a yr...

    Student Network

    uni fixed up the network a fair bit this yr, made it harder to access college pcs, and anyways most of the college pc's with the large amounts of shared material are smart enough to block all local ip's apart from the college IP range so as to not get caught. but i'm sure theres lots of stuff u...
