i'm pretty sure you'd know if you've canned an interview or not.

 

[**<<TeKk>>**]

What do guys thing would be the better option if I failed med because of UMAT:
1. Take one year off, and re-sit UMAT in 2005
2. Do an undergrad course, eg. Medical Science

Btw what are the chances of getting in if you take a bachelor's degree in 2005?

and 1st yr is a big discriiminator.. i think so far 8 dropped out..

yes it is...some ppl cant handle the pressure, while others find out its not what they expected. 40 people failed first semester but luckily im above average

oh and btw alvin if u buy me a shirt ill buy u one also...ill post a pic later

tekk: are you isaac suh by any chance? anyhows, it depends on which uni u want. im assuming u want to study in sydey only in which case school leavers are accepted. you shouldnt take a year off cos thats a waste and only do it if u need an exceptionally long break or ur applying to another uni which doesnt accept people who have started a degree.

and if u take another undergrad course in 2005 and try to transfer into UNSW, it is VERy VERY difficult...i tihnk only a few people out of hundreds who apply make it...so you should look at other unis also...such as UNCLE

 

[Waldo]

u never kno some ppl get in the weirdest way..

haha

um..If I was not fortunate enough to land myself a place in one of the med school i applied to, i'm taking a year off to improve whatever med selction criteria i stuffed up plus on top of that i'm going to apply to a few "reputable" med schools oversea's.

Inasero:

Yeah thats me...

What are the chances of getting into med after taking an undergrad degree for first year or something.. Eg, take medical science then apply med in 2006?

Is that better than just taking a whole year off just to re-sit umat?

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

umm unless ure in adel doing it... Adel uni wont offer u an interview
i believe its the same with uni of melb..

only recent school leavers.. ask/PM Lexi bout which unis.. cos NRSL rule are the same.. med sci may not actualli give u much of an advantage..

 

[inasero]

lol tekk i know you i just realised! isaac from saesoon...

UWA, UNSW, JCU, UTas, UMelb, UNCLE and UQ are the undergrad schools that offer NRSL places (from memory, I may have forgotten one or two).

Adelaide offers internally only, to non-Dental students and only bonded places.

UQ offers conditional entry (ie it's really Graduate Medicine with guaranteed entry).

hey alvin i will be in adelaide for a rural selective on the 26th of september...any chance that we could meet up then? i will be in adelaide from midday until early next morning

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

umm yer i should be home that night from sydney..
i live in the city centre

where will u be?

btw wats a rural selective? and i resent that its in adelaide lolz

 

[inasero]

i will be in the city centre...and the thing is im participating in a slective called "culture, ceremony and bush tucker" which is a one week long trip to the flinders ranges (iga warta). It involves living in a koori community and observing their customs, attitudes to health care and specific health care concerns. but only this selective is rural. the most popular selective is "surgical anatomy" in which students go to hospital to observe a surgical procedure and discuss the A&P relevant to the case. others include AUSLAN, nutrition, and sleep medicine. i think they included these selectives because we have just two subjects this year (MED1011 and MED1022) so we should broaden our experience of healthcare.

we're passing along adelaide and whyalla along the way but we get the chance to stay overnight in adelaide...so i thought would be a good opportunity to meet up./..

what time are you getting back to adelaide cos im there in the afternoon onwards.

 

[kimmeh]
