    GAMSAT practice test from medprep

    I'm thinking about applying for medicine after I finish my current (radiography) degree. I tried the free test from medprep, and I'm really struggling in the humanities section. I find that 80 seconds per question is not long enough, considering how long and convoluted the paragraphs are. Are...

    Quitting Coles

    I was a casual at Coles (Redcliffe). I quit one evening, when I was the only person working. I gave the manager my resignation letter, and I've never been in the store since. It made me feel good, to know that the bastard manager was left alone in the store with more than a dozen impatient...

    F*ck you Coles Myer

    Exactly. Many people working at Coles/Woolworths are young people who are just starting their working lives, and need references. I know that Woolworths asked you to show them work references. Ask them why they don't give you the same courtesy?

    F*ck you Coles Myer

    Good on you. Coles' employees should stand up for themselves and quit if necessary. This is a good labour market, and most Coles employees are intelligent enough to have other options.

    F*ck you Coles Myer

    This thread is a year old, but I'll give my 2 cents re: Coles Supermarkets. I started working for them while at school, and I quit after three years. When I worked for them, it was clear that management didn't respect their subordinates. When they searched our lockers on suspicion of theft, and...

    Rankings?

    Maybe so, but a 10 UAI point difference isn't so much, considering that the "rank" difference is enormous. Sydney is ranked 35th in the world, ranking better than some Ivy League colleges; UWS doesn't even make it into the top 500. If our students utilised rankings like the American do, the UAI...

    Rankings?

    I originally wanted to study optometry @ QUT, a uni which definitely isn't prestigious, but I was refused because it needed a UAI of 99. My UAI of 96 wasn't enough to get into pharmacy either :(

    Thanks guys for your advise. An ADF recruiter (from manpower) contacted me yesterday and she's given me some detailed information about JOES.

    Rankings?

    I know that in the United States, students and employers closely follow the ranking or "prestige" of a university. But in Australia, students usually don't choose their university this way. I've noticed that there usually isn't much difference in UAI for similar courses between different...

    Australian Defence Force undergraduate scholarship scheme..

    Hi guys, I am a second year university student in Brisbane. I've applied to join the ADF, seeking a scholarship for my remaining two years. I'm not eligible for youthallowance, no assistance from parent either. Hoping to join the Army or Air Force as a radiographer. I've booked into J.O.E.S on...

    Creative Writing

    I've studied none of those. QUT operates its own news program which is aired on the Bris31 network. The best journalism (academically and aesthetically!) students are offered experience there. But there is no guarantee. You need an entry rank of 92 to study journalism, the other majors you...

    Open Learning Institute of Tafe (QLD)

    Hi guys Has anyone tried OLIT which is a distance learning Tafe? I have 3 months where I will be doing little work, and I thought it will be cool if I can study toward a diploma of accouting or something during that time - especially since it costs less than $900 which is hardly more than the...

    Centre for Magnetic Resonance - how is?

    Hi, I'm a radiography student @ QUT. Later I'm thinking about doing postgraduate study at the UQ centre for magnetic resonance. Does anyone here have any experience there? Also, it says that the masters degree currently costs $21,000 even for domestic students - is it value for money??

    Griffith

    During highschool I did a robotics course @ Griffith, I think it was in Mt Gravatt campus. It seemed ok - too much concrete though. There didn't seem to be so many international/Asian students compared with QUT and UQ, even though it's in a fairly diverse neighborhood. They seemed to have plenty...

    Qut..

    Since there are so few posts in here, I'll give my personal experience of QUT: I'm studying radiography ('medical imaging') at QUT, and it's excellent. Individual attention, decent resources, the course is very well organised (though the two physics semesters sucked). The cohort is so small...

    Law degrees "useless"

    I haven't studied any law, but I spent a year in combined science/business. I can't imagine law being totally useless, and it is tough to be accepted into most law programs. In my opinion, from what I was exposed to in that first year, both the science and business components were close to...
