Does anyone know if I can get into medicine without bio or chem? (1 Viewer)

Hey guys, have kinda have had a change of heart concerning what I want to pursue after school and am thinking of medicine.

The thing is I am not doing bio or chem

I am doing Physics and Earth.

Can I still make it into medicine after school?

I know Monash requires chem so definitely not there.

I know unsw doesn't require chem or bio. I remember when I went to the open day there was this girl who only did math and all her other subjects were non stem related, she was like a third year med student there. If you're still worried, maybe you could do a bridging course? But even so I'm pretty sure you'll be okay as long as you get a high atar and good ucat

Ok thanks guys. One more thing- do you reckon I have doomed myself doing earth as it scales pretty rubbish on the low end.

IMO I think you should just focus on getting the highest marks possible and not rlly worry about scaling. You can't really change subjects now so I don't think there's a point in believing you've doomed yourself, you haven't btw I'm sure you'll still get a high enough atar for med if you do really well

Uhhh haven’t really thought about it yet better get to it though

I'm gonna be honest, I think you should start soon. The UCAT testing period ends in two months and most people start practicing very early, pretty much at the start of year 12. You need a high UCAT for med and it's not easy to achieve that for most people even with months of practice
