Sorry for not being clear. I meant go for UNSW since they offer an additional pathway into medicine. Would be silly to rely on Lateral Entry as the only option to gain entry to medical school.

This isn't even a contest. Go with UNSW since they offer a pathway directly into their medical program.

Depends on your UMAT score. To maintain an ATAR of ~98 you'll need mostly HDs. For an ATAR well into the 99s you'll need over a 90+ WAM.

Are you being serious?

Generally there aren't any majors that will best prepare you for GAMSAT, best you do a range of introductory/intermediate courses in organic/inorganic, introductory physics, intro/intermediate biochemistry/molecular biology/physiology. Useful majors for med school would be anatomy, pathology...

As mentioned previously, I would hope that appearance won't contribute at all but why risk it? No point arguing online about it when this is your future you're playing with. Just suit up, wear everything except for the suit jacket itself.

Easily get an interview at all three.

Not likely to get an interview anywhere. You can always try at JCU (no UMAT) or get a 99.5+ atar for GU.

Most Graduate medical programs don't care what degree you did for undergraduate (you can do Arts if you wanted to), excluding Monash university. So do whatever degree you want and then apply for Grad medicine. If you are considering BForensics, you may also want to take a look into UNSW's...

Doesn't look too good, can always consider Bond or JCU. Otherwise, best start looking into graduate programs.

Definitely should apply but don't get your hopes up. You really needed closer to 100 percentile to get an interview with your current GPA and ATAR.

UNSW doesn't offer radiography or any other medical imaging degrees. You'll need to consider USYD.

1. Extra year of compulsory research (optional at UWS) 2. UNSW offers hospital experience in first year as well 3. No, most Graduate Medical Programs have no degree pre-reqs (except Monash) 4. 2 years medical science (still get hospital every 2nd week and get clinical/communication tutorials), 1...

I believe UWS's 3rd year (i.e. first year of clinical) students get attached to a team. Whereas we just wander around the hospital with no structure and doing whatever we please. Guess depends on the individual, but I would prefer being attached to a team. Possibly UWS cut out the year of...

Probably because it's closer to the city and perceived prestige factor. I don't think there's a difference between facilities, if anything, UWS is a newer university and I heard they're getting a new medical campus or facilities? I've heard UWS's program is based on the UG UniMelb...
