Visit both Campus again and then take your time to decide. :)

Both Adv Science and Med Science are suitable for Graduate Med/Dent preparation. If you choose Adv Science, you need to pick subjects that will give you a good background for preparation of the GAMSAT. You should also look at what subjects Med Science students have to go and pick the ones you...

Just thought I'd drop by to say 'hi'!

Good luck to you and your PhD endeavours, Dombrovski!

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'd suggest Med Sci over Med if you want a career in research. The whole Med Sci degree is there to help train you up as a researcher. If you compare a MedSci student and a Med student after 4 years of uni, the Med Sci student does way better in the lab...

*sighs* You are making me depressed. :( Can't I just get to the 'PROFIT' part now?

Dylanamali knows what he's talking about!

a phd allows you to learn how to do experiments in a real lab, to train you to become the next generation of scientists.

Back in the days, we didn't have the lateral entry to Medicine in MedSc, which made the atmsophere of the cohort more 'friendly'. There were still plenty of people in the course aiming for Med but I can't imagine being one of those going for that 'Top 15'. I'm glad I didn't have to go through...

Preferably a HD average or first class honours in your undergrad degree or the equivalent in your M.Eng. It would helpful if you have at least 1 publication in an international peer-review journal. I would suggest e-mailing supervisors who you want to work with for your PhD, and start looking...

And many end up being internationally recognised leading researchers in the medical sciences.

I don't recommend you to do a BA (Philosophy) alone and put all your hope in getting into dentistry. Entry into dentistry is highly competitive. If you are interested in philosophy, I would suggest you do a BA/BSc combined degree so you will get good background in Science (I know this will take...

The short answer is no - the university you go to shouldn't matter. If you look at graduate employment statistics, the employment rates would be similar for most universities. I would be surprise to find one university having a significantly lower employment rate for graduates compared to the rest.

That's shouldn't be hard.

AbsoluteValue, if a good salary is what you are looking for, then academia (teaching at university) is not for you, I'm afraid. A full Professor gets 150K p.a. so that's significantly lower than the figures you listed for the other professions. At the end of the day, if you enjoy your work...

The main advantage is you get more research experience and exposure to the finer details of the biology of disease (e.g. mechanisms, signalling pathways) - this is useful for those considering combining their clinical training with medical research.

The bottom line is if you get offers from multiple Med Schools, choose the one you like best. iSplicer accepted the USyd offer despite having to do an extra year - in the long run I don't think this will 'slow down' his career - it's about being happy where you are now. :)

I pretty much agree with what krnofdrg had said. If you are thinking of doing further studies in medical research, then go to a Go8 university because they are very research-focused and internationally competitive. Going to one of these universities also helps your chances of sucess if you wish...

My answers are: 2) C 3) B 5) D 6) B 18) C The answer to 2 is definitely C because the concept of natural selection is about surviving and reproducing effectively, and therefore, C is the best answer.
