    umat/ medicine at Newcastle

    :rolleyes: With the lame Federal Government spamming new medical schools and congesting further the current med schools with more places, its almost impossible NOT to get in... You just only have to worry about what comes AFTER med school with that many med students looking for training...

    Compared to the super unorganised med course on the other side of the uni, nursing is the biggest "organised" bludge ever...

    Medentry Vs Icarus College! Sorry For Repeat

    I attended Dallas Gibson's course ages ago, as well as a personal session. No, I'm not being biased, and not here to rant. But through my personal experiences with him, my conclusion is that he is a total b*tch. Choose anywhere but him.

    B of Nursing for 08

    BNursing is generally well organised, I think you'll enjoy it. I personally have experience with both the nursing and medicine course, nursing's organisation beats med students' hands down. Plus Nursing here is a big bludge. All you do are assignments... plus a few tiny weeny little exams...

    repeating Year 12?

    Nelly, you sound like to be in the exact position as myself two years ago ^^ I finished year 12 in 2003, with a disgusting UAI of 93.65, and a scaled UMAT of a horrible 208. I was a total lazy bum in year 12, so this score would be expected. I received an offer of Pharmacy at the...

    physical appearance in interview

    At every single medical school interview I've been to, I've been told numerous times that appearance does not make a difference whatsoever to your interview performance, and that the interviewers are specifically trained to only judge you on what you say. However, it is impossible to stop the...

    James Cook uni UnderGrad Medicine

    I think you're looking at a pretty impressive UAI/Enter/(or whatever they call it in QLD) to get an interview in James Cook. I had a >98 circled on the CV by my principal, and spent a very long time with my CV, a lot longer than the UNSW one. Then I received every single interview from all...

    UMAT and pharmacy?

    Monash is indeed the only university that requires UMAT for pharmacy. However, other unis like USyd requires STAT for pharmacy courses, I'm not sure about Charles sturt university campuses, look up the UAC guide when it comes out. Don't worry about sitting the STAT tests until you finish the...

    Desperately seeking UMAT advice

    I did a prep course in 2003. I didn't get into med in 2004. I did no prep course in 2004, I got into med in 2005. Coincidence? I'm not sure. I don't know what it is, you decide. But if you are going to choose a prep course, don't do Dallas. Dallas is an a**hole. And I am willing to back up...

If so, where do I find a plug where I can connect to the internet from my laptop? And what kind of plug is it? (yes, I'm a damn laptop...

    2nd shot at undergrad med...??

    Just mentioning a second option to you, I did my HSC in 2003, but since I just crapped around a lot, I ended up with a 93.65 UAI and a horrible UMAT percentile of 210. I repeated my HSC in TAFE and my UMAT in 2004, and since I've done the HSC and I know quite a bit of stuff in the...

    Generator Current Direction Help needed please!!!

    I did use the right hand push rule, and it's telling me that current flows from L to K to N to M, right? If this happened in a motor, current flowing from L to K to N to M, it will make terminal A positive, and terminal B negative..... Why is this different in a generator? Thanks for...

    Generator stuff

    Thanks for explaining that Jase, does this only apply to generators? I mean, if this was a motor, and current flowed from L to K to N to M, terminal A is positive, while Terminal B is negative right? This is the reverse in generators? Many thanks!

    Interview offers..

    Late post, but anyway, repeating what everyone else said, Monash and Newcastles' interviews are out. I think I'm one of the applicants on Newcastle's and Monash's list with the lowest UMAT raw score/percentile who got the interview. I got 185 for raw and 242 for percentile, so if you got above...
