    Where are you going to live?

    Living on campus allows you to have all the immaturity that an 18 year can possess with no disapproving parents hanging around... it is the best thing ever. Party central, I'm living on campus at the moment and it is soo much fun, ask any college kid what they think living on campus is like and...

    UAI/UMAT for medicine

    It is EXTREMLY unlikely, I'm talking you shouldn't even think about it unlikely that you will get 10 points from EAS. I can think of two people who got those points they are a) one girl had her brother die of leukemia during year 12 b) a guy driving had a car crash, where two people died 3...

    Medicine at University of Adelaide?

    Their website is pretty confusing, I suggest you download or somehow obtain the health program admissions booklet, then just flip to medicine. yeah basic... UAI: 90 UMAT cut off for interview: 167 (for non rural applicants) weighting UAI: interview: UMAT 40:40:20 You could also pm msomana...

    What you hate about UNSW

    I told myself I wouldn't participate in this but... why on earth do they have to change my timetable every single week? Whats wrong with having the same timetable every week ?? Huhh?? too simple for them? Too convenient for us? too much like pretty much every other education institution in this...

    PLEASE Help About Medicine!

    Wooz, when I said that the rural program only included people from SA, I meant that there is only one rural program and that is the South Australian Bonded Agreements, in which you can only apply for if you live in South Australia. Apart from that there is no rural program whatsoever. Or at...

    Laptops for Uni

    Re: How helpful is a laptop at university? Random irrelevant point, my laptop had been giving me blue screen of death "dumping physical memory" crap for a while now so I have invested in a new one. Now apart from stupid fucking vista, its pretty good, i want to take it to lectures just so i...

    Interview - Leadership, Role Model Experience

    Okay... I know I went over the top with my co-curriculars, but I don't think that's good enough. You have to realise that med is pretty much one of that top courses to get into in terms of prestige. So it attracts A LOT of overachieving- "makes you want to beat them up they're so perfect" sort...

    Medical Interviews

    I'm not really sure as pretty much I figured out anything that could possibly be a prerequisate and did it... yeah keen a bit. I think most places have "assumed" or "recommended" but not actually "prerequisate" in their wording. There is always bridging courses to be had, and many places like...

    bonded, csp, full-fee paying

    What you have to understand is that with full fee, CSP and bonded, they all have the same selection criteria, you have to go through the same process. Its only when they're actually giving out places at the end that they differentiate the places between each other. Its not like if you say you're...

    PLEASE Help About Medicine!

    No Adelaide is very friendly towards non-Adelaidians, in fact there are a large propotion of interstaters at Adelaide university compared to places like UNSW, and Monash. So much so that people complained about it a few years ago. Things you should know The rural program at Adelaide only...

    Med at ANU

    From memory the application isn't that comprehensive... I spent very little time on it. UMAT isn't taken into consideration, but you will have to sit the GAMSAT later on down the track.

    Employment after uni in relation to which uni you went to

    You should have a look at the Mac law graduates average pay of first year graduates and compare it to USyd, see if there is a large difference. You'd be able to find it in the Good university guides or something like that. As for transferring, the lovely people on the law board would probably...

    Employment after uni in relation to which uni you went to

    Its absolutely ridiculous to say that the ONLY people who get jobs went to USyd. A family friend is currently working as a respected barrister and she went to **gasp** UTS. If you're really worried you can always transfer across after your first year or so.

    Medicine in 2009

    actually 95% of people who get into the UNSW course graduate... we heard the stats on Orientation day. They don't like people dropping out, that's why the application process is so intense. Oh and if you start failing assessments there is a person who is in charge of figuring out why this is...

    UMAT ACER Preperation Materials - Worth It?

    If you get nothing else get the ACER booklets, they're the official info. You may wish to ask old family friends for theirs, or our school had them as well for us to look as a resource.
