    Can I take up courses from other faculties?

    I'd love to know if it would be possible to do a course in japanese @ UNSW external to my B Medical Science without the marks counting towards my overall score?

    B Medical Science VS B Science

    Thought I would just report back in. I got into B Medical Science @ UNSW though missed out on Medicine. Though I'm excited about GOING TO UNI! Med Science looks like a great course

    Extension English worth it?

    Do it. I consider myself not to be a fantastic or even above average English student and extension english really helped my Adv English mark and counted towards my ATAR.

    What's you're back-up if you don't get into med?

    Agreed... Rural med entry FTW My backup is B Science then postgrad. Though I'm wondering if I should do B Biomedical Science (though it is 4 years instead of 3). ATAR is 91.05 BTW

    B Medical Science VS B Science

    Thanks for the advice. I'll probably end up going with B Science because it is a means to an end, medicine. And while doing a Science degree I would like the flexibility to learn things I am interested in and I believe UNSW is flexible in allowing some study of humanities - languages etc (or at...

    B Medical Science VS B Science

    The problem is I'd rather be in Sydney and B Biomedical Science @ UQ is 4 years with an honours instead of 3 years. And I really don't need the extra year as undergrad + postgrad Med is already approx 7 years. My main aim is to get into medicine so in some ways Biomed helps that but in others it...

    High ATAR = obsessive parents, selective schools, tutoring

    "High ATAR = obsessive parents, selective schools, tutoring, illegal teaching practices No way related to intelligence" Discuss. Heard one of my friends talk like this the other day. I honestly don't know what to think, hoping to get a perspective on it from some ppl in highly ranked schools.

    2009 UMAT Official Results (No Spam)

    Thanks for the reply. I think my RRMA score is something epic (the bigger the better) like 5 years @ RRMA 5, 5 years @ RRMA 6 and 1 Year @ RRMA 7. Though my UMAT is absolute fail, I guess ill just have to try and max out ATAR and interview score.... Wait I should be studying!

    UMAT Dilemma

    Just wondering I got a percentile of 66 (raw score 53) in UMAT and I already have an interview in the rural stream (UNSW). Does anyone know if they take into account UMAT in their final ranking (to determine places) or they just focus on ATAR, interview and rurality score? Did UNSW already...
