Affordable but group sessions are never as effective as 1 to 1. I've had students attend Medentry group interview courses and give me atrocious answers that will definitely fail the interview. From my personal experience of teaching interviews for more than 3 years, 3 hours is probably not...

He did not receive a first round offer. I have tutored a few students for JCU interviews this year. If he is lucky he will receive a late round interview offer.

Re: Too all Med Hopefuls Just a side note. I have spoken to doctors who have finished their 2 year graduate positions at their relative hospitals. For the ones that didn't get onto training programs which is a significant amount only 50% were offered jobs to stay on as senior resident officers...

I have already taught a few students who have received their interview offers for JCU. So your friend definitely will not receive a first round.

They can use Dr in their title but they can’t do certain procedures. I am unsure about becoming a surgeon for the leg as far as I know you can only do this through a medical degree. Podiatry can be boring as you will be cutting nails, scraping calluses as the main job. Only if they restudy...

They will ask you about your family, friends, school life and sometimes weird questions. UNSW would not ask you scenario questions. Unfortunately, I only give a full list of UNSW questions to my interview students. I suggest you practice in front of actual people or a mirror. Generally...

Getting into lucrative degrees have always been about the money regardless of how you look at it. I'm not forcing anyone to seek my guidance but I can guarantee any student that does will improve. That is my promise. I have heard many Year 12 responses and do I think they can do better, of...

1, 2. ATAR comes out in Mid December. So you have about a month to change your preferences. If your med school requires interviews and you haven't received an interview offer by their final date then you can change your preferences. 3. Main round means when they release the majority of their...

How is that a threat? Considering the number of doctors and teams in hospitals all over NSW I doubt I will ever be on the same team as Riproot. +30% of specialty training requirements usually comes from references. Your assessments during internships/jmo, are done by registrars. You don't need...

Talking with interviewers, training many students for the interview (I've helped 4 students enter UWS medicine) and helping them get in seems to speaks more than a 1st year medical student who just recently got in. You learn a lot in 7 years and experience does wonders. If I cannot perform...

Well I wonder who made the first move. I have no intention to attack anyone personally unless they want to attack me using derogatory language. Superior attitude, please. I'm giving people advice based on my many years of experience and I encounter people with less than 1 year's experience...

Cheers, appreciate your support. I really enjoy teaching and mentoring younger students and I want to give correct advice to students thinking of doing medicine as I myself was never given this opportunity. Being a final year medical student I believe I know more about the career path of...

Sure. Making such a bold statement even though I know it's not true. I have asked my friend about you, shame she said she doesn't want to be your friend so not everyone is your friend "literally". Hardly scrambling, didn't you say most of your friends didn't get interview training? How about...

Most students don't think preparation won't help or think it's too expensive or think they can do it themselves. So there is still a significant pool of students with non-preparation background, so statistically speaking they will get in. Also interview scores is not the only deciding factor...

Training doesn't mean you'll get in. Training only improves your answers. This in addition with other factors (communication skills, etiquette, the way you act, dress, marks etc.) will influence whether you get in or not. I've talked to interviewers. I've had personal coaching from specialists...

Common sense for a Year 12 student who most likely don't have an extensive professional life. It's easy to say that once you've aged but for a student, they'll be making mistakes all day. They test the four principles of ethics. Do you know what they are? They look for depth in answers with...

Go read what the resident posted. I've been saying the same thing too all you juniors and no one seems to think I'm being honest which is completely fine. I will help all my students who decide to take my advice and help them get into medicine.

I'm sure you talked to "most" people in your grade and I'm sure they would divulge such information to you. Since I heard from people in your grade you have "many" friends. Go read what the resident wrote.

Re: Too all Med Hopefuls ^Well said. Very similar advice to what I've been giving people on this forum but I seem to get a lot of resistance from younger med students in first year (Riproot), people who no longer do medicine (lawstu) or people who are in different fields of study. I'm glad a...
