[Lexicographer]

You must have gone today! I only went yesterday.

I was going to tell you that he says hi, but there's no need for that eh.

 

[Zali]

whats wrong with crossing your legs?

 

[king_of_boredom]

yeah for the UNSW app it says any extra sheets will be destroyed without being read

anyhoo, i'm gonna freak out if they ask for an interview, i'm crap at those. i haven't even done any extra voluntary work or anything! and i'm not gonna write down something i haven't done on the app form.

 

[M_I_K_E]

Back to the first questions. The word limit is 800 words (for 2003 anyway).

 

[shafqat]

If you want to get around the limited space given type up your answers.
And also, and I could be wrong, the cv is not used to determine interviewees, but can be used in the final selection process.

 

[M_I_K_E]

You can only type up the first few pages of the form, the other pages (your answers etc) must be hand written and signed. I don't think they use the form to determine the final rankings; the interview, UMAT and Yr 12 marks are given equal weighting for your final rank.

nah i talked to Gordon Rees and he says its only for interview.

 

[who_loves_maths]

who's Gordon Rees?

 

[shafqat]

He looks after selection stuff.

Yes, I was confused cos in last years cv form it said "The Faculty may use other information you have provided here to assist in the selection process," but they've taken that line out of this year's cv form.

May I know where to obtain the information sheet you mentioned?

UNSW .. no mainly just the sheet

UNCLE= UAdel same questions.. i thought they were easier to answer... but challenging

search for unsw medicine and then itll be there somewhere.

 

[Cziffra]

I thought he was talking about info sheet for monash....

 

[velox]

then go to monash's med site and it'll be there, found it after 2 mins of googling. It says what will be in the interview.

 

[Cziffra]

thanks

 

[velox]

Sorry i would post the link here, but my comp is really slow - im capped, encoding dvds and downloading some pdfs at the moment. I apologise if my posts seemed rude and condescending.

 

[Cziffra]

No, not at all. don't worry =D

I found the link you said. But as it's an information sheet, I was wondering maybe it contains something not mentioned on the website....

 

[velox]

Hmm Monash dont seem to release the quota for their intake. Well i cant find it anyway, have you had any luck?

 

[Cziffra]

Nah, absolutely nothing. I emailed the Uni and the staff was unwilling to disclose anything about the annual intake....not to mention the sub-quota for different categories...

Are you currently studying at Monash? If so, could you estimate the numbers? Is the class size very large?

 

[velox]

Nah im not studying at monash, im in a similar boat as you, aiming to go there next yr. Inasero will know as he studies there.
