3) 99.95 direct, less then <99.95, you need umat

Um why are you asking which is the best dual degree if you're doing med anyway? Do what YOU like.

Personally, I'd do music or arts with med. It would be really hard for me to choose because I like both.

1) depends on the degree
2) subjective
3) depends on the course

OP; let me introduce you to Google, aka, the electronic cat database: https://www.google.com.au/

*99.95 you're in, less than 99.95 you're not in even if you get 1251205012%ile umat.

1. Do what you like. But if you want to get a head start do physiology, anatomy etc.
2. You should really do what you like. There is no best degree. If you want to prep yourself for medicine it will be some sort of science.
3. 99.95+ or GTFO. I am not sure but arts/music might be slightly lower.

so do they only look at 99.95 not anything else? so if one is the most unsociable person and does no extra activities like music or sport will they get in??

I believe there is an interview if you get 99.95, but from what I gather it's quite hard to fail. For music/med, there's an audition and interview, but the atar requirement is lower - 99.65 (?) I think. USyd does not look at umat.

Depends on other factors more so than extracurricular. They don't look at extracurricular as heavily as UNSW or UWS.

On a side note you need to learn how to message people properly and show common courtesy. Given you are young I will let it slide but if that's the representation you give in an interview you will probably fail.
