Best college experience (partying/social scene, greek life, college sports etc.) - definitely UT Austin with UNC (Chapel Hill) 2nd choice. I'd probably choose one of those 2 because isn't that what exchange is all about! They both have strong academic reputations too (i.e. both have US top 20...

It's weighted along with your UMAT (which gains you an interview) and interview score. The minimum TER was 90 in previous years - but the majority of people that got in would've got 96+ Check out the stickies on the medicine board and medstudentsonline.com for more info.

Most likely after I graduate/land a full time job.

EW analysis? What charting software are you using (PS, I'm guessing)?

17 hrs over 4 days/week + ~2hrs travel/day = ~25-27 hrs/week Mon: No classes Tue: 8-8.45PM, 4-5PM Wed: 10AM-3.45PM (no breaks) Thu: 9AM-3.45PM (no breaks) Fri: 11-11.45AM

BCom/BEng sounds the best combo for you, given you're strong at maths and science. From what I've read, IB firms value the time management/work ethic + analytical skills developed from studying a double with Law or Eng. For more info, search for geetarjoe's posts on here and at the whirlpool...

What's the better way of organising notes/handouts from uni?

I train at home (currently got a power cage, olympic bar, plenty of weights, multigym), but used to train at a gym. I'm well educated on training (can train myself) and I'm very self motivated (though I must say my best weights sessions at the gym - greater adrenaline rush, I suppose). Home gym...

Fair call - I didn't know that. Apparently UWA have 1:2-3 ratio of places per interview. loser101 - do medscience (or any other uni degree for that matter) if you're genuinely interested in the degree and completely satisfied with the career prospects it will give you if you don't get into med...

NT doesn't have any med schools. From my notes, UWA is relatively easier for locals (lower UMAT threshold), but a fair bit tougher for interstate applicants - but if you get an interview you're a good chance of getting in (low interview/places ratio). UAde has a relatively low UMAT and UAI...

97.35 is a very good score, don't kid yourself. It's above the academic threshold for most unis. For UNSW you'd need ~195 raw UMAT according to this years figures, most other uni's don't officially release scores, but it seems most want >180. Yes, you can enrol in a degree (any degree) and...

I was in a similar position to you last year. I had a subpar UMAT and TER. I redid a few TEE (HSC for you) subjects that I thought I could significantly improve in marks (Chem, Physics and Applic Math) and redid the UMAT. I improved both UMAT (not enough) and TER (93.5 to 98.5) and while I...

MedEntry is easily the most similar question types to the UMAT (they do use some past questions) - I've seen course material from them, medical-entrance/Dallas and amepp.

Section 2 is all about learning the correct mindset (like GFX said) - can't really do a heap of book study for it, but getting out more, meeting new people, doing community service etc. definitely helps. 1 can be improved by improving reading and data interpretation (graphs, tables) speed and...

Thanks for the advice, guys. Interested to hear other's opinions as well...

I've only looked into this area recently as I've always had my mind set on med/dent thinking that was the only type of career for me (won't get in this year as my UMAT was below par), talking to some professionals in the industry and doing a fair amount of reading on here and elsewhere the past...

La Trobe's my last chance at studying Dent in 08 (bloody UMAT!). Still I'm not sure whether I'd accept an offer as I know nothing about the university and the course is new in 08 and still in the process of seeking accredition from the ADA, so there is alot of doubt. Just a couple of quick...

Pete, strength training can still be very beneficial for long distance runners, even though you won't be able to stack on heaps of muscle due to caloric expenditure. From both an injury prevention POV and performance, a balanced program that adresses weaknesses is always useful. Obviously make...
