Why do people insult others on the net? What a pointless exercise. You can defer at any point in your degree.... but since you've already started you might as well finish this semester and then defer. I think the rules at most universities say you have to finish your degree within 10 years...

yeah no problem, I was in your position last year (except for a large part of it I was too haughty to apply as a rural student :p ). Yeah so its nice to know that I can share the info with others.

Apply for them all, no seriously apply EVERYWHERE I just remembered something, as UMelb is closing its doors the competition for Monash is going to go through the roof next year, don't lose hope though. The unis that have schemes for rural kids youd prolly be eligible for Newcastle/UNE...

If you apply for bonded spots yes the requirements will be ever so slightly lower that said, they're still pretty high. Okay Monash has the "deans regional list" which allows you to get an interview with a lower UMAT score, you must have lived in the country for a minimum 5 years. To get an...

First thing: I don't know much about grad entry, only undergrad entry Thing with Adelaide is the only rural scheme it has is for South Australians... no interstaters allowed Are you from South Australia? If you are I suggest you look into South Australian Bonded Medical places, basically they...

Basically how it works is that the universities all have a quota for rural students, at UNSW I believe its something like 25% They have a set amount of interviewing spots specifically for the rural kids and they keep going down the list until that list until all the spots are full. So yeah the...

My theory is that they made the timetable so annoying to figure out thus keen beans would stop bothering the med school til they figured it out Notice each week is different as well? cos doing the same thing every week would be too easy huh :p

Okay from what I understand we are all going to be divided into groups ABCD, and within that we'll be divided into 1,2,3. That's your tute ie A1. Then ignore the other tutes apart from the ones that say "A1" right? Okay then there are groups just for the A group, or A+B groups. You'd go to...

well... considering I was "conned" by medentry, I did pretty well for myself considering I got into five medical schools... heh im not sure what your issue is because anyone with half a brain would figure out that unless dallas was retarded, which I like to think that he has a brain, he...

Cos most people are stupid :p You can do any degree you like as long as its a degree. However to get passed the GAMSAT you need first year Chem/Bio plus year 12 physics, and the ability to write a good essay. So slacking off completely isn't such a good idea. I know a few people who went...

Pretty rich coming from someone who screwed up the UMAT don't ya think? Oh and according to your own rules you shouldn't be posting here either. See most people who have the ability to get into medicine also have the skills to recognize trolls/idiots on the web

Marinababy if you're trying to convince us that you don't work for Dallas then you're doing a really piss poor job at it.

I remeber two three years ago these there were these two girls who were best mates shared everything blah blah blah. Anyway they had a massive fight half way through the year and didn't have much contact. Come the main round one of the chick's found herself getting an offer for engineering...

She didn't post up everything she could eat, I daresay she only put the staples up there. I mean you could easily add a number of different soups, salads, various rice dishes, and lots of other things that easily keep within that budget. Basically if you live frugally and are willing to give...

Different Universities have different requirements, but as 25% of applicants must be rural from now on you have a lot easier time then the kids from the city. Just aim as high as you can, why put a limit on it. Get 99 and a UMAT of 200 and you'll be pretty much guaranteed entry everywhere. :

Yep your UAI will still be usable for next year I'm pretty sure its valid for life unless you get a higher qualifiation. You'd be able to apply for next year, but not this one.

^^ I disagree, Australia was simply following the US, Europe and UK lead in introducing interviews. While there is no evidence that it produces better doctors, conversely there is no evidence that it produces bad doctors either. Plus places like UNSW claiming its attrition rates have been cut...

LOL I never EVER got into sports at school, apart from swimming carnivals where "particpation" matters. I once tried waterpolo and almost drowned. That said I got heavily involved in dancing, volunteering, extra-cocurriculars, school activities and stuff. Do something, they are looking that...

Also remember that UNSW is not the only med school out there, there is another 8 to choose from. Medicine will always be hard, I don't think the UNSW course would be much different in that regard. However its more of a quantative learning then qualitative. Just soo much to learn, though the...

icecream??!! I get that when I scrape my knees, not when i achieve something that has an admissions system that = pain i think you should totally go back to your parents and demand to celebrate your awesomeness. Was it expected though? my parents were like "yeah you probably won't get in"...
