As someone who got 100% in S3. GAMSAT science is up to 2nd year level at university for chemistry and biology. Physics I am uncertain as I didn't pick physics in my undergraduate subjects. I hate how they advertise it as 1st year level but it really isn't. I always thought the GPA for Usyd...

^Nice Schmeag Psychiatry is a specialty that is actually not that difficult to get in. There is a lack of applicants in comparison to almost every other specialty so wanting to do psych is awesome and given there is a huge push for mental health it will be a specialty in demand. Not sure how...

That thought crossed my mind as well LOL. However, a whole application is another beast.

Yeh tell me about it. Some students are even 99+ ATAR students who I am certain can write a great essay but when it came down to writing their applications, their applications were riddled with mistakes. Also because I’m doing it as a free service it doesn’t mean you are excused from proof...

I have already helped review those 2 people's applications. Given more requests from others I only intend to help another 2 or few more until I have more free time which I doubt as I am about to start Geris. I am posting this so I can help 2 people most deserving. I will change it to PMs...

Why would I not be serious? Most applications I've read from people applying to undergraduate medicine have been pretty bad. I can't blame them given they haven't had any professional experience. I've been mentoring and helping those who private messaged me on BOS and through my email. I've...

Hi everyone. For those that don't know me my name is Jason and I'm currently an intern. I have helped now over 80+ students for medicine/dentistry interviews and more than 80% of my students have subsequently received offers. I've had a few requests for students asking me to review their...

I think it's that as a medical student you have a lot more time on your hands so it may be easier to complete a research project. I.e. my friend and other people who completed his PHD/Masters whilst in university. My reg just told me the other day it was just 3 but you get 3 tries each...

MD is better because it includes research and you might be published.

Calm your farms. Anyone from any university can become a specialist! Research isn't necessary but is smiled upon. Given how competitive specialties are consultant recommendations and interview will count for the majority of the intake criteria. If you conducted research it will help elevate if...

Only for your own ego and parental boasting rights.

Ok sorry I am wrong but it was based on students I've mentored but they did seem to have done well in their ATAR and UMAT exams. Let's just agree on UNSW is hard to get in even with good marks. Yeh I think OP doesn't have a great shot at UNSW.

The answer is no considering how many bad referrals I see from GPs. It may be difficult to specialise though. Also intelligence is relative, someone may be super intelligent in medicine but crap in finances and vice versa.

Fair enough. Someone is a bit sensitive. I do think if you get a 99.5+ ATAR, HD average and a high UMAT (95+) you might get an interview for UNSW. Given that HD average counts as 99.5 average ATAR having a 99 and 99.5 ATAR is a huge difference. Also 90 and 95 UMAT percentile scores...

I actually know of a few people with 99+ ATARS and a HD average getting interviews for UNSW. They actually all got interview offers even though I was not expecting it albeit some were second round. It is definitely possible but the competition is much higher as I would assume UNSW regulates the...

^Agreed with above post. Amirbang didn't do his research so his info is definitely wrong. Although you may get an interview offer with that as a bare minimum you won't get an offer unless you ace your interview if your score is that low.

Section 3 was the easiest for me. Breakdown the pattern or if you're running out of time look at it from a big perspective and pick the middle most likely.

I never said GPs should diagnose all patients. Like I said earlier if medical management is not appropriate in a GP center then yes it should be referred so obviously certain chest pain should be referred to the ED. You are also missing the point that all admissions to hospital go through the ED...

Nurse practitioners are awesome. They take such a huge load off the doctors. In the ED they do cannulas/venepuncture as well which saves a lot of time especially when they send the bloods off before doctors start seeing the patient. After we have seen the patient the blood results are usually...

I was actually did not mean a significant but I meant a portion of GPs. I was in a rush to work when I typed this so I do apologise. Schmeag does mention a few very good reasons as why GPs may refer otherwise well patients. But the crux of the problem isn’t that. I'm beginning to see and...
