yeah man cos muslims are totally a race

umat is involved in the final selection process, it isn't just a cutoff and where can you get an interview with a UMAT of 70th percentile? are you talking about at UNSW? you would need an ATAR of like 99.95 plus an extremely good interview (as in top 5%) to even stand a chance. for med it's...

hsc 2006?

i wasn't just talking about the workload at university, i was talking about stresses in the career as a whole. but personally i found getting in to be relatively easy compared to the med workload at university.

nonstandard interstaters aren't discriminated against. chances are they are non standard (only requires a UMAT in the mid 80 percentile IIRC) i also forgot to add that tasmania also uses a threshold ATAR system. that is, once you get 95 your ATAR isn't taken into account and applicants are...

i don't think there's any easy way into medicine or any back doors for that matter. you will have to sit the UMAT/GAMSAT no matter what and chances are unless you're rural you will need a pretty high score depending on your performance in an interview + ATAR score. that being said, if you don't...

ergh so many people don't realize that getting into med is in a league of it's own. even combined law doesn't even come close to being as difficult a field to get into as medicine. for UNSW med the average ATAR is ~99.7-99.8, in addition to a high UMAT percentile and performance in an interview...

wow... everyone has such a fancy system. why do you even need to type up notes? just print out lecture slides, write any extra things said by the lecturer that might be noteworthy and then put them in plastic sleeves. simple and does the job 10x as well as the scrub system (aka buying fancy...

How useful is it to take notes during lectures? Do you just print off the lecture slides before hand and write notes on top of that? I noticed quite a few people in my course are just furiously copying the notes straight off the projector into their notebooks. Do you find yourself coming back to...

aww the idea wasn't bad at all but you need to come back next year around late jan.

... i think he actually does adv sci? that's what going through his posts has suggested anyway

lol at the people think the UMAT + interview is a cake walk getting a high UMAT score is EASILY harder than a high TER. it's arguable whether you can prepare for the UMAT. many people who get 99.95 TER's (who prepare for UMAT may i a dd) totally fuck up the UMAT, but it's generally rarely...

on the internet, the fact that everyone is anonymous and how an audience is provided makes a lot of people act like retards

yes i was asked this at all my interviews. the correct answer is ANYTHING (gap year, adv science, year 13 etc) except anything containing the words "law" or "commerce". 3 guys from my school who didn't get into med ended up doing law/comm. and how does combined law even come close to as hard to...

It's such a popular course nowadays, and there's quite a few money hungry people from my school doing commerce who think their degree will make them "heaps rich bro". I am aware there is a commerce forum but I would likely receive a lot of bias from there. I don't mean any offense to commerce...
