Accepting one offer doesn't affect your chances at getting an offer elsewhere I would accept UQ bonded, and keep trying everywhere else. Kinda? MD is definitely a more recognised degree, especially in the US, but either way you'd still sit USMLE in US and stuff. Point is yes MD is better...

Yeah, looks like you have to have either Chem, Bio or Maths equivalent to SACE Stage 2 (whatever that means). https://health.adelaide.edu.au/downloads/admissions/medicine_admissionsguide-web.pdf I think it's best just to go with whatever subjects you enjoy tbh

All unis bump out fully qualified doctors, yes. Did you contact WSU to clarify the predicted ATAR thing? I'm sure there's probably more depth to it than that.

Yeah I can't recall anyone having a biology prereq, but can't say I know every uni in Australia

Nope

It's all hugely variable. People can start med courses at any age, pretty much 16+. Most typically for undegrad it's 18-20, but I know people of all ages. Then there's variation in degree length from time of first uni degree -> end of med degree. Via undergrad, usually 5-6 years, and for...

I think you're confusing the Bonded Medical Places (BMP) scheme with the Rural Bonded Scholarship (RBS), which is an entirely separate thing. BMP is normal Commonwealth-Supported Places that carry the extra condition that you have to do a service period in an area of med, usually somewhere...

I wouldn't go into uni with the intention of becoming an OMS though. It's a long path and who knows what will happen on the way. I'd pick either med or dent based on whether I'd like to be a doctor or dentist more. OMS is always just an option down the line (and definitely the path less travelled).

Though it should be noted that since it's two-question written (i.e. it sounds like extended response); depending on what questions they give and if they keep them fresh, it could depend a lot on the person's ability to write something new on the day, which can be practised only to an extent...

Also I wonder how many keen people will opt for sitting both the LAT and UMAT hahahaha

Seems they're going for a different format. From the booklet I just read: "Format: Two questions requiring a written response. LAT will not require any knowledge specific to Law." Source: http://www.law.unsw.edu.au/sites/law.unsw.edu.au/files/ebooks/lat/UNSW-Law-Admission-Test-LAT/index.html...

You could do med cos way more breadth, see what you find interesting, and if still wanna work with the mouth after try to go for OMS? (Most likely situation is you'd probably end up changing mind as you learn and wanting to do a different med specialty by the end)

A quick Google search tells me that the Royal Australian College of Dental Surgeons recognises 10 dental pathways. The first is what I imagine the vast majority do, which is general dentistry. That's straightforward enough, we've all been to a general dentist. There are then nine other...

qnrt pls My post already has a tl;dr :(

Hey there! Firstly I assure you you're not THAT guy simply for thinking about your future and looking for advice. It's a valid question and lot of people lile the prospect of both. And you've said you've already done some research first and are just looking for opinions now, which is good...

Yeah, unfortunately it won't be enough, the UMAT is taken as a whole to make the threshold, sorry :( Congrats on the amazing ATAR though, you should be super proud of your efforts this year!

Yeah I just hopped on the thread and saw that too hehe

Damn, that's just cruel :(

Maybe, but I wouldn't jump to that, esp from 1 result. Congrats! Kill the interview :D
