I really wanted to become a fighter pilot but due to circumstances I couldn't.

There is video about Fighter pilots in the ADF, look at that. That would help you, to make decision on subjects choices and other things. Like one of the key "thing" about fighter pilots is leadership. So to fullfill that try to join groups like the SRC or try to become a sport captain or something similar.
I've been in the SRC for 2 consecutive years should I apply again even in Year 11 or should I just concentrate on my subjects?

Becoming a Doctor then later specialising in life is my ultimate goal currently, other than that I wanna keep becoming a pilot somewhere in my pocket.

My subjects are: Std Eng, 3U, Chem, Phys, IPT, PD.

I suggest you all get different aims... The chance of getting in as a fighter pilot position is miniscule. They take only 3 or 4 recruits as fighter pilots a year due to the severe cost of training someone. But of course... Don't write it off... Just look at other options.

Also... With regards to "being shredded"... You don't have to. You just have to be able to do the set physical tasks... Look at some of the higher ranked individuals in the military... Grunts are ripped... Aim a little higher... Be in charge of the ripped fools.

Have u thought on what Uni, what I heard is that people are now doing an Medical Science degree -> GAMSAT -> then pursing Medcine as a post grad.

And only UWS accepts UMAT success

20, actually. And that's just for ADFA. Granted the applicants are in the thousands.
