Hey all, Just wondering if anyone has recieved second round interview offers for any of the universities offering Medicine in 2009 ? I know UNSW is expecting to be inviting people by email "around the 19th of december" but none of the others seem to notify hopefuls of their expected release...

well, the answer to my question was yes ... the marks u get from BOS as your HSC results are the ones SAM and JUAIseek like ,.,,, Juai was more accurate .... it was .5 off while sam was 1.2 marks off (both under the real result)

thats cos it is not practical at all so no one is doing it ... the cost of trying to make ethene from cellulose would make the polyethylene bag that your groceries are packaged in worth more than the groceries it is supposed to hold...(that is if the reactions to get there even exist) ... i...

My book says that Am241 is made by bombarding 239/94 Pu with neutrons --->241/94 Plutionium (unstable)---> 241/95Am + 0/-1e re it being transuranic hence difficulties comparing it to commercial isotopes ... i think the point of that is to point out that things like Co60 and I131 are not...
