m8 I got on with a 94 ATAR so there is hope for everyone living on this planet if you can smash your interview and application
However this is extremely rare and you should at least aim for 97+
Even if you do the most minimal amount of UMAT prep, you should still set it.
If you're serious about getting into med, you'll take every opportunity and perhaps apply everywhere possible around the country.
Once you're in med, it's way easier to get through the degree and less stressful that...
As someone who applied to every single state and only got one offer, apply everywhere, THEN make your decision.
It was scary at first moving from Sydney, but I know have a great life up here and have experienced more of Australia in the past 4 years than I could have ever imagined. My decision...
Percentages don't matter, it's all about your class rank and school rank.
In saying that, providing those details means we can give you a much better indication of your potential marks.
Medman, I'm curious about regular bonded students obtaining a specialty training position.
Because they are obligated to pay back their time in an area of need, will preference be given to bonded students to get into certain speciality training programs in order to ensure people will be sent to...
Depends. I don't do much during most weekdays but I go balls deep in work on the weekends when I fall behind, sometimes pulling two 8-12 hour days.
Other times I'll just do 1-3 hours a night or I'll just do nothing.
Just do whatever you think is required. The amount of hours you study is just...
This was an incredible read, thank you. It's nice to hear from someone out there working and not still in university!
I found it interesting about what you said about bonded and MRBS positions- this is the situation for me (bonded) and my mate (MRBS) and I haven't really thought about it in...
My mate is doing UNSW medical science and he has essentially learnt EVERYTHING I have learnt so far, minus the clinical aspects of actual medicine.
However the most important thing is getting a good GPA and preparing yourself for the GAMSAT so don't forget that.
Also, don't forget that many people DON'T get calls, so don't freak out all day when you hear about others (if it happens this year).
I didn't receive a phone call but still received a first round offer and this was the case for many others.
I personally love the Macbook Pro Retina- they're fantastic, light and have the option to be reasonably powerful. Fantastic little things to carry around uni 24/7.
I also just love their design (I'm a bit of an apple whore, sorry)
I've also installed parallels so I can run windows on my mac as...
You have a good chance.
No offence, but you personally cannot judge your performance in the interview. You could think it's shit, but the interviewers are amazed.
I'll be very surprised if you don't get in, because those marks are amazing, meaning that your people skills are lacking.
In the...
