There is only one way in which it is possible to do all the pharmacy-specific subjects in one year, but this has two strict provisos: 1. The subjects don't clash. 2. All of the 2nd year subjects have first-year subjects as prerequisites, so it is impossible to do, say, Social Behavioural &...

1. The MPharm degree is a very new addition to the faculty's repertoire, and as a result, the first year (2004) appears to have been squeezed around the existing BPharm degree. I assume that in the future, the faculty will arrange the MPharm students such that they are not inconvenienced with...

1. Going solely on the number of contact hours involved, I would say, yes, the workload is quite heavy. However, if you're just looking to get a pass/credit average, then the assessments aren't so bad - in general the assessments are few and far between (meaning that the final exam is almost...

Hello all. I am a third-year pharmacy student at USyd and I have noticed a few people on this forum who may have some questons about pharmacy and what it's all about. :) In the spirit of Christmas and the festive season, I am willing to answer any questions anyone may have about...

I thought the walk from Central goes downhill, and then uphill... It all depends on which part of the campus you intend to travel to. I took the bus from Central in First Yr, and I can attest to the fact that squeezing yourself in and out of buses is worse than walking from Redfern...

There is no way an extra 70 places will be added to the existing total simply because you can't fit that many people into Pharmacy Lecture Theatre. As a pharmacy student, I know from personal experience that it is already a struggle to fit the 200 students we have now. Unless the faculty...

Well seeing as the cutoff is around 149/200, I guess you'll make the second round of selections. All you need to do now is get a 94+ UAI :)

I think you can apply for ACCESS which can reduce the UAI cutoff by a few points. Also, you might want to try applying for uni scholarships. Don't know about Newcastle specifically though...

desert These lists do not show anything about scaling really - other than the fact that if you can handle it, 4u maths is a good subject to take - remember, UAI is a rank, and our grade has gotten more ppl over 99 than many of the previous years. If the number of honour roll mentions...

I agree Bambul. The top 5000 should be brought back - after all, it's been moderated and scaled by the BOS and UAI so the scores have been universally agreed upon, not calculated by people from the newspapers - because like you said, some schools accelerate students to make the stats look...

lists...i'd like to say pfft but i secretly love them as much as anyone else. My school (Fort St High) came 16th, a drop from 10th last year, despite the view by many teachers and students in our school that we have done much better than the grades in the past - based on the number of ppl who...

I got: *Chemistry - 92 Exam, 89 Ass, 91 HSC *Eng Adv - 88 Exam, 88 Ass, 88 HSC Eng Ext 1 - 41 exam, 42 Ass, 42 HSC Eng Ext 2 - 43 Exam, 38 Ass, 41 HSC *Maths Ext 1 - 97 Exam, 99 Ass, 98 HSC *Maths Ext 2 - 91 Exam, 94 Ass, 93 HSC *Phys - 87 Exam, 89 Ass, 88 HSC Hmm i get the funny...

No it's co-ed...our principal likes to boast about our HSC results but like you said, many other non-selective schools have a better reputation than us. I think it's because we don't really have a uniform. Well we didn't until the new principal came in. Now all the juniors have to wear the...

Nervously waiting results... In Year 12 I did Extension II Maths Extension II English Physics Chemistry I went to Fort St High School (government selective), Petersham

Our school is supposed to hate Newington College because they got funding from the government for sound-proofing their buildings while we didn't (both our schools are affected by flight paths). And they beat our chess team GRRR:D Question: I come from the outer west, but go to Fort St High...
