If you really want to do med, you won't care what uni you go to:
Newcastle uni/ UNE atar cutoff is 94.3 iirc, try that. Once you meet the atar and umat cutoffs they base their selections entirely on the interview. Try that if you want
I dropped down from advanced at the end of year 11 because of a shit rank, but I can say that compared to advanced, standard is easier in some regard. The modules we do are more simplistic in nature. If you think you can get a band 6 or close in standard go for it, it actually scales decently...
I heard somewhere that there were talks to implement something similar to the UMAT for law in the future. It would stop the demographic who get a surprisingly high atar, and think, "Oh I can do law, I'll do that instead of what I wanted".
It would all come down to the individual, and how disciplined they are. Like Drifting95 said, one is more likely to be less efficient if they have ALL DAY to study. It would be easier to procrastinate imo. People at my school sometimes have a double free last, so they go home at lunch. They then...
Would you say that essays in Law are more similar to English essays or Modern History essays (to those that did both subs)?
I know they are similar but in general I was v poor in advanced English (hence my drop to standard), but am pretty good with mods.
Hey. I am considering Applied Finance at MQU, but its third on my preferences. I'm aiming for an atar of 94+, so I can get into UNSW or USyd Commerce. If I don't make it I'll do Applied Finance at MQU, but idk if I'll combine it with anything or not. Maybe try transfer into AF/Law after a year...
It all depends on your school ranking, what is it approximately?
Also, for med, do you care where you study it? Because Univeristy of south Australia has a atar requirement of only 90- look into it.
On the Macquarie uni site on the B. Applied Finance page it recommends doing 3U maths in the hsc. How true is this? Can someone doing 2U get by, or should you do a bridging course? What 3U concepts are there?
Thanks
Estimates do not count towards your atar in any way, except if you want to apply for undergrad med, where they take your estimate after the trials to determine if you reach their cutoffs (offers for interviews are released before the atars come out).
1. Good luck
2. If you are serious about med/dentistry, no
3. The minimum varies.PLaces like UNSW I think you need around 80+ to get an interview (of course it varies according to atar and other stuff)
4. Most universities select people based off UMAT + ATAR + interview. In theory the higher...
I don't know much about UWS med, but you should know that with med unlike other careers like business/finance, the employers have very little preference of where their employees graduated from as the MBBS is pretty much universal across universities. Obviously try and get into UNSW for the sake...
