If it helps anyone, my first year of uni I've lost 10 kilos... not that hard when you learn how to keep a perspective on things

No seriously the UNSW emailing system is crap, I personally got five rejection emails before they got to me. UNSW is well known for rejecting people by mistake or not putting through the application properly because of a misfiling or whatnot. I rang up and chased up my results and I soon got a...

The UNSW med interview is weird and not like any of the other universities They ask you questions about you as a person, you growing up, your friends, your parents, your grandparents and your relationships with them, what you got out of school, who your role models were. You will sit there...

You have just as much chance as anyone, being a candidate in the late round does you no disadvantage whatsoever. I had my interview in the late round and a number of my friends did too, and evidently we all got in. For UNSW, the UMAT score you need varies with your UAI Here is a table where...

Send your form in, you just won't be eligible for first round of interviews in September, however if you are above the cut off in for an interview you will get one in the second round of interviews- held in early january.

Once upon a time medicine and surgery were completely different pathways, and MBBS put them together as one degree. Newcastle considers surgery a speciality of of medicine and not separate, hence they only have a bachelor of med, while all the other unis are sticking with traditional naming of...

All the med courses are different, however no matter what university you come out of, you will have a medical degree and with a medical degree you can become a doctor. The marks you get in Medicine play absolutely no role, and the uni you come from plays no role, as all the internships in...

I had a friend where the room panels fell in, they all sat their exam later that day, it was fine as only half the room was seated at that time and the papers hadn't been handed out. It was a good thing though, massive planks of wood fell on the tables and if someone had have been hit with one...

Everyone I've talked to about QMA exam have told me that it completely raped them, then let them go, caught them, and raped them again. and I don't even do commerce Its highly likely they'll be scaling people up, or mark it nicely You may wish to tally up your results so far, you may have not...

Pretty sure Monash is cool with deferring, but you're not allowed to enrol to start uni anywhere else, as monash won't accept you if you have any tertiary record whatsoever. Yep in fact I'm positive because I remember when I got my offer from them they gave me deferral forms were sent along...

They don't like you doing it because they need to fill the spaces, but there isn't much stopping you defer. As said above though, each uni has its own rules

I went to one of these, while it was useful it was totally overpriced for what you got. If I had the chance to do it again, I'd keep my money and go buy some clothes :p yes I like shopping. Your med interview is like a pretty much a job interview with one added twist. They want to make sure...

There is absolutely nothing in the world stopping kids from public schools applying for special consideration. Its not like they look at the form and see the name of the school on it. It doesn't work like that. The difference is that private schools hone in on your weakness and strive to...

you want to do engineering?? **massive shudder** I know they pay you lots... but ... you have be an engineer. anyway From what you've said, I think the best would be for you to defer your law subjects for a year/semester. I'm pretty sure this is possible, that way if it really was a mistake...

Heaps on people change degrees, and usually you have a pretty good idea after two semesters of it whether you like it or not. I guess if I was you I'd look into all the options possible, about what you could do -> double degree -> "try out" a science course and see if you're interested in ->...

What the workshop does is it motivates you, the practice exam they give you is a great way to remind yourself that it is one exam, you only get one shot, and its bloody hard. The workshop itself doesn't really give you any extra information or skills that aren't already covered in the notes, it...

What will happen is that your educational disadvantage will be assessed for its severity and that will be sent off to the universities. It is then up to the universities what they do with that, if they give you bonus points or if you give you a special standing as a "disadvantaged" applicant...

Its much harder to do it that way, you have to find someone willing to supervise you and whatnot. Anyway there is a shortage of psychologists at the moment, if you were to graduate tomorrow you'd be able to find a job fairly easily. As for money... it really depends on what area of psychology...

yeah it is a bit, so a lot of us cover our fees with the help of youth allowance, scholarships, bursaries and the like... and of course working like crazy over the breaks. Despite the cost I think its worth it, you get so much support in a college but you don't have your parents hanging over...

partelephant: yeah I know, I was talking to this guy at college (he doesn't do med...) and he said he had one goal in year 12 and that was to beat his sister, he said he failed cos he only got 99.7, I was like "what did your sister get", he's like "100" ... lol... yep I'm at UNSW, so far I...
