Dallas UMAT prep course (2 Viewers)

[Grey Council]

Hrm

As far as I know, the one requirement in the whole interview is that you be non judgemental.

Which makes a lot of sense.
imho, people shouldn't prepare. I mean, sure doctor'ing earns money etc, but like, you hafta have the right mentality.


but then again, I'm bias against med. :-\

Hehehe! On the first day i sat next to some guy, but he was sitting next to i think the girl u described.. because my friend fits that description and she was sitting next to him, and in the afternoon of day 1 i sat next to her and she kept shaking the table.
I remember the first aid thing! That was funny! He was quite the bastard tho... i remember your white beanie! I think i was sitting like 2 seats up from you, cos i was in the 3rd row and i kept seeing ur beanie every time i looked down... (which was often cos i was trying to avoid eye contact with dallas) :/
But yeah.. i'm not blonde.. brown hair. was wearing green jacket thing...
Oh! On first day i asked him which uni course he thought was better, and he asked what i wanted to do, and i said i didnt know, and then he said some smart ass comment which i have erased from my mind.

i liked him..i thought he was extremely motivating....he's got me stressing more than ever though. Yr 12 has made me turn so moody and snappy and...brusque (HEE HEE HEEE..oh i bring the funnies). damm beanie was itching my forehead like anything..but u know bed hair. What natio are you?? cuz if u were wearing red on the second day i know who u r.

No... i was wearing green on second day as well.. (what? I have only one really warm jacket... *shifties*)

Hehe Adam was really smart... :S I was like... "damn u! u speak good!" And it was evil how dallas kept ignoring the guy who kept asking questions up the back. Stupid dallas...

 

[fashionista]

dallas cracked me up sooo much..man all these pompous people got shot down sooooooo goood. like all those bloody people with doctor parents who go to private shools and have scholarships thought they were shoo ins.
hee heee "but what if u coach and umpire... for fencing??" ohh maaan some people brought the funnies *wipes tear*
and the girl who sat next to me on the second day (who ALSO had an epileptic fit with the table) who asked
"How do you know if your school has an entrance exam?" oh golly gosh

 

[Seabiscuit]

I dont get it.. why won't they accept wealthy people, people with doctor parents, or people who seem smart? How does doing fencing mean not getting into medicine? What exactly are these poeple looking for in a doctor? It can't just be leadership skills and empathy? :S

 

[fashionista]

i think because the government knows these people wont work in rural areas..and will chose to work in urban, city areas...you know how he kept saying to people 'oh , you're playing the rural card' or 'you can put that bit about living in the country in'. The government is urging doctors to work in regional/rural areas coz there is a shortage there and not enough doctors are willing to work there...and surprise surprise the doctors who don't want to work there are wealthy, educated in city schools (selective schools and scholarships imply your parents earn a good living as employees in a city area...(i.e get lots of money and want to stay there..that's what dallas said)) therefore they are looking for people from the country who will more than likely want to stay there and fill the quota required for these areas.

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

i thought it was cos.. ppl who are wealthy are able to access more resources which is an advantage.. hence they dun try so hard..

and doctors kids should be the most advantaged by that reasoning.. but i still think that heaps make it in.. no difference.. just a pity my mum cant help me with diagnosis.. :S

 

[Seabiscuit]

But thats so stupid making it a wealth issue! If you're good, you're good. It shouldnt depend on whether there is another doctor in the family, or if u're wealthy, or if you do fencing or not.

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

haha..
but med school isnt lik HSC.. there is not tutoring available...
u hav to actualli learn stuff..
if ure spoonfed cos u can afford to then ure not goin to do well..ppl in uni struggle with this.. esp some selective school ppl.. who jsut kno to memorize..
