Interview preparation will make you do better than if you did not have any preparation regardless if you make it or not. This means that interview preparation does help the student but it's up to the student as to what benefit they can achieve. "If you are meant to get through and you are...

That's what ~2/3 candidates who don't get an offer are told, "Just be yourself, you'll be fine". Chances are stacked against you if you take that advice. I was told that too by someone then I had a specialist give me some pointers for the interview and he picked up on so many areas where I could...

Most people think you can't prepare for the interview. They are wrong. It's like saying you can't practice for a job interview or an audition for acting. Students are often misguided by the fact that they must possess intrinsic traits for a doctor. I have trained many students for interviews for...

You'll probably get UWS interview. Not sure about Newcastle cut offs. Smash your interview and you're golden. Do average and it's risky.

You travel there for the interview. By air or road.

I always suggest 1 on 1 or small group to get more individualised attention. That being said you don't need a tutor to perform well. Personally, I figured it out mostly myself without a tutor to help. Your tutor should have materials from some major companies who make decent resources. As for...

Just practice the questions and change how you think about them to get the answers.

Getting 100% doesn't mean you'll get in. If they brag about it, it just shows lack of humility which is a quality they look for in the interview. Just understand doing medicine means committing up to 20 years of your life studying and having a pretty poor social life if you pick a specialty...

Means your school sends them an ATAR they think you will receive in your HSC. They have interviews before the ATAR is released sometime mid December.

Pick subjects you are good at or don't mind working hard for. You should try maximise your ATAR regardless of what medicine requires or would be "good" for medicine. No, not every interview station has to do with volunteer work but you see that's where you're lacking in experience. You always...

^Agreed

I never said there will be no jobs and I didn't say it wasn't easier than other jobs. I'm saying in comparison to the past, it is pretty hard to land a public staff specialist position nowadays in an urban hospital. You can go rural or you can go private or you can do some research to boost your...

Do what you're good at. You don't need to do biology or chemistry to do medicine. Almost everything you learn in biology will not apply to medicine. The only reason why people say biology is good is because it mimics what you'll do in medicine (memorising everything, as opposed to working things...

My friend is 35 and he's doing medicine. You just need a great wife and if you don't, it will be hard but not impossible. Don't think about specialisation when you aren't even in medicine. That is a totally different ball game and it will continue to change overtime. You will soon discover...

Thinking ahead good job. You should start doing some volunteer work or be in charge of a project or something weird to differentiate yourself from everyone else.

It's a mixture of both. More so B in my opinion.

If you're serious about medicine, keep trying. If you let this hurdle get to you, you will never survive medicine and post-graduate training/research etc.

It's only as hard as you make it. Meaning if you don't study for it or don't change your perspective to match the answers then yes.

Woops sorry you're right. USYD has been graduate until next year onward when it will change to postgraduate, as it is now classified as MD. It will be the legit same entrance scheme but I think people will be more likely to apply to USYD now since it's MD (You don't understand how competitive...

Without the UMAT they will only be looking at people with 99.4+ ATARS just like law at USYD or UNSW. Unless you're saying you can get 99.4+ ATAR, UMAT is actually helping people like you out. It's about changing your perspective on how to do the questions. When I first started I was getting 50%...
