Ok, Im in year 10 (2015), go to st. clares high school taree (mid north coast of nsw) and want to get in to med. My marks
Maths avg~ 97.5 %. First in year
Science avg~ 94% Second in year but was first in the second semester.
English avg~ 80% 10ish in year
I've got distinction in Australian Mathematics olympiad.
Distinction in AMC
HD in mathematics challenge and enrichment
Distinction in Big Science comp
HD in ICAS maths and science

Currently prob getting accelerated to adv maths in school and am doing physics and chem (year 11) at home. My reports are below par,however, "distracted in class" and "distracts other students" :(
Also i need to get some extra-curricular activities. Prob debating and soccer. Some community service and work at hospital wont hurt ;)
What is the pathway to get into med.

By the way,
Im a NZ citizen and may or may not get aus residency before i start uni. So i may or may not get counted in the rural UNSW med scheme. Also I get eng tutoring. :)

if i thought i could get into med without study i would be crazy.
or Einstein.
I prefer calling myself Einstein on second thought....


But like preparing for umat and stuff like that.

1) study all day every day
2) have the UMAT gods gift you their blessing
3) lie in interview and talk about that time you saved 37 african kids from ebola because you've actually spent the whole year studying and you have no tangible extra-curricular activities to discuss

do practice past papers for UMAT. Consider doing Red Cross drives, volunteering soup kitchens or getting first aid certificate.
