UWS? What? Why?

Besides, they have no courses that interest me. I'll have to deny myself their presence to get to the course...! =P


And hot chicks are exceedingly important in uni life. I've seen the movies.

only based on my personal experience, but the 1st year chicks who helped out with the med interviews at UWS were all uber cute. Dunno if that is definitive of the entire school, but since I'm going to medicine if any at UWS then thats the school for me =O having been to both USYD and UNSW countless times, I can safely and honestly say that Usyd has far more attractive girls.

And yes, I too have seen the movies >_>

Isn't UWS MMI? So you had hot girls in every station?

alas, sadly not haha. You are correct in saying that it is MMI, and not a single hot girl interviewed us (although apparently there was a hot actress playing a patient with asthma in a separate group). What UWS did for us was divide us into two groups, with 10 stations per group. Helping both group was two 1st year girls, and each one of the four were cute. These students acted as helpers in guiding us towards the stations (interviews were held in separate buildings to the actual registration), and acting as support and company during the rest station and 2 minutes in between each station. Later they ran a survey which, although not compulsory, most do. I don't know whether this was a deliberate ploy by UWS in selecting the creme de la creme, but certainly helped with the whole process.

Good luck in your pursuit of medicine next year, studying for the UMAT and interviews were great experiences for me as a person! Fingers crossed that I get in to any med school haha. I'm sure you'll get in, what with your beastly maths marks this year.

Hmm, they get really attractive women to guide you through a day at their university - no, I don't think it was a ploy =P


I hope at least you chatted some of them up. Not that I know how to do that <_<

Yeah, they have to apply. It's probably too late to nominate you though...

I seriously hope it's not just a large ploy. Because if that letter says: "You will then be pitted against the 800 or so other students in a Battle Royale - with the winner receiving $4 000. This money will be suspended ten metres above the arena in which you will all fight - in a briefcase. The only way to win, and stop the carnage, is to ascend the ladder and retrieve the briefcase"... <_<
