Thanks for clearing that up. I knew that there was something wrong there. At sydney, law (combined) is 99.6.
I heard that medicine will only be taking postgraduates not high-school leavers. Im not interested in doing medicine but am curious to know what's going on.
If my memory serves me, at Sydney Uni, they only offer graduate entry medicine. Entry into this course requires a completion of a bachlors degree in any field, and then a GAMSAT test (like UMAT, except for graduates), and i think an interview. (reasons for this include more mature entrants, getting people who actually want to do medicine, and producing more experienced doctors)
Unless, of course, you're one of the few who get a UAI of 99.95+, in which you get a chance to apply for a combined Medicine Science degree, where you do a science degree for the first three years and then do graduate medicine the next 4 years, WITHOUT sitting the GAMSAT + interview.
Either way, it takes 7 years to complete.
Alternatively, you could do the UMAT and apply for UNSW or Newcastle or Adelaide or Monash, just to name a few, go through a stringent interview process and do a 5-6 year UNDERGRADUATE degree.
With all that said, I've set my mind on trying to get into UNSW Med in 2007.
