Hey, I wanted to know how diffcult is it to maintain a GPA of 5.5 or 5.7 assuming that I did Bachelor of Science Adv. I come from a science background and got the highest in biology at my low-ranked school with a mark of (82) and 4th highest in chemistry with a mark of (83). My atar was 85. So I...

I got an early offer from UWS for Science Advanced! Should I accept?

I'm quite sure that Sydney Uni took away the stat test requirement for the course. So you don't need to worry about that. If you get any bonus points for Usyd, I would highly recommend that you study there as the university is well regarded compared to other that also offer pharmacy. gl with the...

Ye lol Unless u want to do rural or hospital/industrial pharmacy, then go ahead as its looking better than community pharmacy.

This. I have also spoken to some other pharmacists who have said exactly the same. The reason why Usyd decreased its Pharmacy atar down to 85 and has taken away the STAT test is because they want to increase the number of students studying pharmacy. In the past, student numbers were quite low...

Also one more thing, Can I transfer from a Uni that offers medical science to medicine at another uni? I was planning on doing medical science at UTS and get good grades and hope to transfer into med at another uni as UTS doesn't offer medicine! Is this possible?

ye thanks for the info :) I'd probs do science at unsw and see where it leads me to!

Just spoke to my cousin who did bachelor of medical science adv at UWS campbelltown. She told me to stay away from adv. science and medical science adv as it does not gurantee you a career at the end and hence your transfer into medicine or dentistry. She is now working at a pharmacy store...

Ohk. Thanks alot :)

What can I do with a Bachelor of Science (Advanced Science) degree?

I liked doing Biology and Chemistry at school :) Although I didn't get the highest in them whilst compared to my other subs, I surely did enjoy studying those subjects and could last hours studying it. Where as I would just blank out in 10 mins in all my other subjects whilst studying them. lol...

Thanks for your insight :) Yer, Pharmacy seems hard! Could I do any other course and hope to transfer after attaining good grades? Lets say I do Construction Project Management and then the Umat again. Is it possible this way, rather than doing medical science adv or science adv?

You didn't do physics and are currently doing engineering at usyd. Wow thats a big achievement itself!

ohk. lol I didn't do HSC physics. Does this mean m gona suffer and should go with medical science instead?

If the units in the second year scale down alot for medical science, does it mean that you get lower grades that won't favour for your transfer into med or dent? And I heard that medical science prepares you for med, not so sure abt science adv! :/ So if ppl were to choose between Medical...

Thanks alot :) ye I will try my best next year and hopefully all goes well. I wanted medicine badly, but its not on my radar right now :( I guess I have to wait and see how things turn out and be optimistic for the future. Thanks for the motivation though, it really means alot and yeah I won't...

k nice, ye I would consider B Science Adv now :) Bro why didn't you go reply to uws email and do science adv there? you would've been guranteed a spot into med! Any dw abt the textbooks... I will somehow get them off someone :D And as for the umat training, I might nt consider it as m nt rich...

So you are doing Bachelor of Medical Science/Engineering at Usyd and got an unoffical email from UWS saying that if you did medical science adv or bachelor of science there, you would get into medicine after graduation? Ye, So why do you prefer that I do B. Science Adv. over Medical Science Adv...

Ye, I will consider Bachelor of Science Adv. over Medical or Pharmacy. Pharmacy seems like a good career, but the job prospects don't seem too good for the future and it would be diffcult to top pharmacy at usyd where there are like 100 nerds in the class rather than in uws right? Plus if I do...

Thanks bro :) But my concern is that only 6 offers are made each year for students considering this pathway, despite what course they do! and plus will I still need to do the Umat again? Also how diffcult is it to be in the top 6 for those particular courses, like what grades will I need? How...
