Doing HSC this year.

 

[Dr_Fresh]

Doing HSC this year.

well monash is pretty much your only option for undergrad in victoria. other places are: Newcastle/UNE, UWS, UNSW, ANU, UQ (prov entry), UAdel, UWA, JCU, UTas, Griffith (prov entry altho applications have closed i think.
if u dont make it in, u can either:
1. take a year off resit umat and reapply
2. start a uni course and resit the umat although your choices will b limited as some unis do not accept you if u have a tertiary record (UQ, Monash, UAdel + others)

alternatively you may go for post grad stream (finish any undergrad course and sit the gamsat). 7 years minimum.

What about this?

This might end up happening if I don't get the mark, interview, all that.
Swinburne?

Swinburne?

swinburne does not have med. in victoria all 3 medical schools have a postgrad stream (Melbourne, Monash, Deakin). u have to finish an undergraduate course (at any university) sit the gamsat and then apply for one that has a postgraduate program (cant remember all of them).

that is something u do for 1 year after u get into the medical course to gain experience in med research. it is not an undergrad course by itself.

yes. pretty much. but remember u dont have to do a biomed degree and u dont have to do it at monash, u can any degree at any university basically.

but it is recommended u do something related to health science since gamsat has a lot of 1st year uni bio and year 12 physics/chem.

I'd rather do it at Monash and I want to do something related to Health Science. BioMed is sufficient for that, yes/no?
Yeah, I've heard, haha. Physics is painful. :/

yes biomed/b medsci are the best courses possible as a pre-med course.

Okay, now I have the fallback plan of sorts.
I need to get the cut-offs and such now.
Thank you really~

BBiomed at Unimelb has a really high cutoff something like 98.45!

He really knows what he's talking about. I am looking to compile all of his posts into a guide or something so everyone who wants to do Medicine can read it and he won't have to answer the same questions all the time.

Check MSO's wiki for guides.
