Lol, because i want to become a doctor, and also how would you know i wanna do medicine so badly XD??
WHY?!
You don't even do chem or anything
Chemistry is not essential, some people have differing views on which sub is more important, Some people ive seen say none are needed, Some say Chemistry is essential,some say doing Biology is much more important cuz its easier to learn the chem side, And some say that bio is more important, so yea, also i hateeeee chemistry XD so yea.

you're going to be at a great disadvantage compared to the others who have already taken two years of chem. not only do you have to learn high school chem but at the same time you're gonna need to do the chem in med.

Theoretically anything, but 85+ at least I reckon.

Hard to know cause your school is low ranked and many of your cohorts are small-thus less competition. We don't know how you will compare at a state level. What does the dux normally get over past few years?

Hates chemistry
Can't quote properly on an internet forum
Has no reason as to why he wants to be a doctor

Wants to do medicine

Okay.

Seems legit.

Yep.

I did both bio and Chem and chem is like 1000 times more difficult than bio.
I would say that chem was my 2nd hardest subject after extension two maths.

this.

If you were doing more intense courses (chem, mx2, physics, etc.) it'd be easier to tell.

Taking the easy way out aye?

On topic, I'd estimate anything between 85 to 99.95. I can't really tell. Although, for UWS Medicine you would probably be looking at a 98-ish ATAR, which I think is possible, but very difficult.

UWS Med I would say anything above 93.55 as long as you live in GWS.

Gosh.

I would think that many students receive around the 98 range though. Hey, if anything, I'm making it seem that UWS has increased cut-offs rather than slagging off UWS for everything else.

^ what umat would you need?
there is no Actual umat cut off score, its changes every year, and is hidden by the uni's, But really it depends on the umat scores of the other students entering, you wont be offered an interview if your not in the top 10-30 % scores of the group of applicants, depending on how many ppl apply.

You do realize you have to do x amount of chemistry units for medicine?

Not liking chemistry doesnt mean that you dont have a passion to study medicine and just want to do it for the money.

That wasnt directed at you. Chemistry is an important part of a medical degree, but just because you havent studied it/dont like it, that doesnt necessarily mean that you will do poorly in medicine or hate the degree. It will probably give you an advantage though.
