No, you have to do Medicine. You can do Medical Science or Advanced Science and then transfer into medicine

Why do you want to do medicine?

Good luck! Great to see you have done your research. Interviewers like seeing applicants with a mature, realistic perspective of what Medicine entails and why they want to do it

Your final HSC mark is the average of your external mark (the mark you get sitting the HSC exam) and your internal mark (your internal school assessment marks added up) Your internal mark depends on how you do relative to your peers in internal school assessments and thus your ranking is important

low 90s
