im going to say this everywhere awbeyona posts. she has no idea what she is talking about. she is promoting USyd either because she works for them or she wants to eliminate some competition (probably because she wants to get into dentistry at all the places shes dissing).
the course there is 7 years in total. other places (JCU, CSU, Latrobe etc) its 5. its a no-brainer which one you want to choose. ask youself this, would u rather pay 2 years of extra HECs fees OR earn 2 years of $70k pa salary?
it is well known that USyd dentistry/medicine is no longer as good as it once was. the methodology is old and not really accepted. this is where the newer universities have the advantage.
also, for degrees such as medicine/dentistry, it does not make a difference where you go. there is close to a 100% employment rate due to the shortage of dentists and doctors. all courses are fully accredited.
also, ur patients are not going to give a crap where you got ur qualifications from. they will know how good you are from experience/reference. you could come from the best medical/dental school and still get sued for millions of dollars for being shit. its down to ur personal ability not what university your graduation certificate is from.
latrobe doesnt have interviews last time i checked. they only interview the students who are borderline. i.e. on the cutoff. so say they had 60 spots. for the 60th spot, there were 10 people with the same ATAR. they interview these candidates to determine which one gets in. (they dont have enough funding to accept more than their quota).
go for which every university you want, they are all the same. if you want to do dentistry, apply everywhere. dont listen to peoples opinions about which university is better/worse.
