Genuine question for prospective med students too, why do yall want to go straight into med? Isn't there post-grad routes to do medicine? I feel like all the stress isn't worth it (in my very unambitious opinion).

post-grad routes are just as stressful if not more stressful from what I've seen (maintaining a good WAM, doing the GAMSAT, ensuring you did the right units in your undergrad degree, etc) - you have to do an interview anyways too

honestly though for me it's because I'm lazy and I don't want to think about it more than I have to

Isn’t post grad routes more stressful coz it isn’t guaranteed, your competing against so many others especially with the gamsat and so many ppl get left with undergrad degrees they don’t even want

I see what your saying, cause I spent the whole yr working towards it, only for my UCAT not go well, but I'm planning on trying again next yr hopefully.

The undergrad courses are kind of sped up which is one of the reasons I want to do it. The post grad pathway requires a 3yr bachelor, then you do the GAMSAT test and interviews and some uni's require some minimum marks in bachelor, then 4yr postgrad, which adds up to 7 whole yrs. So by doing undergrad you can also skip the whole GAMSAT and interview and once your in, your in and set for life basically.

yeah the most optimal undergrad is supposedly medical science, but it's arguably more competitive than the BMed/MD stream and you might get saddled with a degree that is literally useless unless you go for the MD pathway

Also who wants to stress that much in uni. Like stress in high school is already enough

House MD or smth yeah

I genuinely couldnt even consider medicine same with even bio I find it too yucky idk i cant find a better way to explain it

 

[qweeosh]

Wowzers, I was under the very wrong impression that it would have been easier to get into medicine postgrad lol.

Fr, I have considered every possible career paths but medicine and the army so I have a great admiration for anyone who wants to get into medicine.

me, for whom those were two of my biggest considerations:

but fair enough though! there's smth for everyone, and honestly the process to get into med is so counterintuitive considering the supposed "doctor shortage" we have

 

[quokka]

i lowkey would be in the army but have one of those non fighting roles

 

[bustygint]

im lowkey cooked for drama even though im 1st bc ive barely touched my notes since my trials in MAY

Bruh im busty gint and i say that drama is the easiest exam in the entire HSC like there is not a single other exam that comes even close to how easy that subject's exam is

 

[bustygint]

hey did you know im busty gint

 

[quokka]

hey did you know im busty gint

[qweeosh]

hey did you know im busty gint

guys should I listen to the math head teacher cause she said that we should drop to std if we're getting below 75%. Or should I just ignore? I'm got a 61% on prelim and the average was 64% but the teacher said we should AT LEAST be getting 75%

year 11 marks don’t influence year 12 marks imo for advanced. i did pre average in adv in yr11 but improved in year12
so i think it’d be okay to not take the advice right now imho

Doesn't 60 still scale up in adv? Idk I feel like you should ignore.

yeah that was what I was thinking but my teacher sucks so idk if I can improve. And also it might suck up a lot of my time especially since I'm doing 2 major work subjects. But the teacher was being really blunt about it so idk. Also lots of people doing better than me are dropping so idk

 

[t234]

this might sound a little harsh but i really hate when teacher say stuff like that, it becomes so discouraging
i have a teacher who says this sorta stuff and it sucked so much in yr12

but they were like scaling doesn't even matter that much cause if ur doing "bad" then ur better off doing better in std and getting a better atar that way
