in my opinion it is INCREDIBLY helpful. I undertook medentry, and I guarantee I wouldn't have gotten 98 percentile if I didn't have prep. It is especially useful for section 3, as you quickly absorb the different kinds of patterns etc. Section 3 was by far and away my worst section, but in the...

fair enough... i live right next to UNSW, but still have usyd law over unsw law as my 5th preference, but as you say thats because i have a better scholarship from usyd haha My bad, knew it looked wonky when i typed it out

1. MBBS UNSW 2. MBBS UWS 3. MBBS UoNewcastle, Why does everybody have comm/law at UNSW over USYD? Surely USYD has better commerce and law faculties? Or is it the different emphasis of either program? At my school law at USYD has a far greater popularity than UNSW, but UNSW seems the obvious...

lol fail windup when i know who you are what your results were

yes, i agree. I spent the whole of my personal statement talking about my interests in music, debating, sport etc... i think another thing to keep in mind is to try and make a statement that catches the eye, with a unique introduction. I think what they are looking for is a link between...

maybe its different this year, but i wasn't interviewed at all for my scholarship? just got a letter saying i was shortlisted, and then got a letter on friday saying i was offered one =S

alas, sadly not haha. You are correct in saying that it is MMI, and not a single hot girl interviewed us (although apparently there was a hot actress playing a patient with asthma in a separate group). What UWS did for us was divide us into two groups, with 10 stations per group. Helping both...

great thread, i have many questions also. What is the difference between the 1st round offer on January the 5th and the "main round" offer on the 19th? Also, if for example we are offered a place and decline, but with to take up the offer in a later round, can that be achieved? any help is...

really? I'm not too sure thats how it works. I think there is a fundamental difference between a "distinction for all round excellence" which said that they offered it to up to 10 people in the state in my letter, which is 10000, and a "merit" scholarship, which is 6000 and does not have to...

only based on my personal experience, but the 1st year chicks who helped out with the med interviews at UWS were all uber cute. Dunno if that is definitive of the entire school, but since I'm going to medicine if any at UWS then thats the school for me =O having been to both USYD and UNSW...

yar. UWS > Sydney > UNSW in terms of chick-hotness. I can't speak for Macquarie though haha

hmm... my school called to nominate me in late november, and i was awarded the scholarship?

hmm i don't know if i should consider bothering to apply for this, if only for some finality. Don't get me wrong, I was delighted with my marks and ATAR, but I guess I was kinda disappointed with my external examination mark for EX1 - 44/50. As many have said, I came out feeling great, having...

as i have said many times i don't mind doing science, and i have never studied biology to form an opinion. And anyway, as you can probably tell from my hscresults, I pride myself on being a jack of all trades, and master of none. I'm always willing to give something a red-hot go, and I sure as...

i have not said med has more to do with humanities, i have merely stated that it offers a huge humanities component, which is completely true. Every single interview i have been to, there has been a tremendous focus on interaction skills etc. Like I said, I do NOT mind the science component, I...

didn't say I "dislike" science, did I? Just a bit meh, thats all. Much rather the interactive, humanitarian aspects of medicine.

haha obviously you don't know me then... I have med at syd, unsw, uws, and newcastle, all BEFOFE usyd comm/law. I have also had interviews at monash and uwa for med. Nowadays, medicine isn't necessarily classified as a "scientific course", rather it is an integrated program that deals with human...

i would take vibe over course, anyday. I would want to enjoy what i was doing. If i hadn't gotten a better scholarship at usyd, i still definitely would have preferred it over unsw, and the two open days only further clarified that to me. The two unis attitudes are a gulf apart. EDIT: this is...

haha, the first thing that comes to mind when you mention prestige was COD, I must go outside some time :D Anyway, in my opinion you should do what you want. If that means advanced maths, then by all means have a go at UNSW! While prestige DOES help, doing something you want to do will allow...
