    texbooks for unsw med 2004??

    no no, i'm not stressed! it's just that my sis can get some of them in india for HEAPS cheaper, but she gets back before we find out. so basically i'm a cheapskate who'd rather spend money on cds and clothes rather than books :D.

    Who will be starting med March 1 2004?

    i got into unsw med w/a uai of 98.45, which i was pretty shocked about - i'd heard that if you didn't get 99+ there was no way you'd get in. however, i thought my interview went really well, and my interviewers were really friendly and responsive, and i also did quite well on my umat. hmmm...

    what's wrong w/me?!

    seriously - am i the only one who didn't have like an HOUR to spare?! I technically finished w/approx 15 mins left - but i would've liked a few more mins to finish reading over everything fixing up some answers. How could people be leaving after 2 hours?? :confused:

    Not enough room?

    that's what booklets are for! our bio teacher's been drilling that into us for the past few weeks of last term, cuz we ALWAYS go over the line limit in our exams.

    phloem tubes to not need to be as thin (or dead for that matter), because they do not rely on capillarity for movement, as w/xylem cells. and the only active transport involved in the movement in the phloem is actually loading the sugars into the phloem...the rest is all diffusion, which is passive

    I think it's D as well (passive passive...i think that's D), because it's only active transport for the sugar solution to *enter* the phloem. however, once *in* the pholem, it uses diffusion to move, which is passive transport. Why does no one share my line of thinking?!
