What HSC subjects do future doctors choose in Australia? (1 Viewer)

[Anonnnnnymous]

So many people at my school are looking to actuarial studies and law etc, and there are not much looking into medicine. Makes me kinda lose hope

Thanks but I guess knowing other options is a good thing

My school has a good math faulty. A few people got state ranks in ext 1 and ext 2 maths. But reputation became crap because of other faculties

yes way. You know how much leeway there is if you live in areas that is considered disadvantaged by SEIFA. So long as your application is good, easy stuff.

Doesn't have to be the school, could be where you live or family income too, hardship etc

Yeah, I can clearly see how bad the English one is.

Anyways, that doesn't correlate to personal interest for Medicine. If you do well in Maths, why not actuarial, that uses a lot of it.

I'm a St John's ambulance volunteer and I enjoy those kind of stuff. I wouldnt mind working hard and spending 14 more years to study medicine

14 yrs, u want to be a neurosurgeon?

 

[Anonnnnnymous]

Probably not. But you get the point

You will be fine. just apply to every single school in Australia and maybe overseas if u have the funds. If that fails, possibly take a gap yr and grind UCAT. If that fails, postgrad route gives u 4 yrs in undergrad to grind.
