    What are my chances of getting into medicine?

    Top 10 school with your ranks - you're going fine in terms of ATAR as long as UWS is concerned. Pick up your game in English and you'll be a strong contender for UNSW too =]. Basically from here on in, it's all about your UMAT score.

    Best Tutoring College

    Whilst I understand where you're coming from, I think you're generalising a bit too hard. It all depends on the attitude of the student - whether they know tutoring is there to challenge and assist them, or whether they think it's simply there to provide for and tell them what to do for...

    How to become a university lecturer?

    Subject Selections for year 11?!

    I'm going to have to disagree. Choose whichever combination gives you the best shot at the highest ATAR. They will cover HSC biology in two lectures at uni, not worth it.
