Oops, my fault. I just check and he "only" got a WAM between 88-92 over his degree and he didn't get the uni medal.

I know gman has a 93-95 WAM in his Electrical Engineering degree - and he didn't get the Uni Medal. Not sure if 85 is close enough though - I guess that will depend on which engineering discipline.

If you are passionate about biology, keep at it. Don't give up. Marks are just marks. 80 soemthing is still a great achievement by any standards. Remember some courses award high marks and some courses don't, even in the field of biology. You are only in 2nd year and there are so many courses...

I can only comment at the postgraduate level. Being a UK citizen means you can pay fees at the domestic rate, which is much much lower than the overseas rate. Not exactly sure how low. Cambridge cost 25,000 pounds a year at the overseas rate (postgraduate level).

I think the Dean's list has enough Maths people as it is, without you Ser :p Most of them are either Comp or Maths people.

The Dean's list was first produced in 2007. The 2008 List is published on the my.unsw Prize Page. https://my.unsw.edu.au/student/prizes/PrizeWinners.html#FACULTYOFSCIENCE It's nothing special. You get a certificate saying you are on the Dean's List and at your graduation it will be...

Most people doing PhD are on some sort of scholarship. It's very unlikely someone will take up a PhD if they are not supported financially. Australian Postgraduate Awards (APA)/University Postgraduate Awards (UPA) are given out to those with Class I Honours (They also take into account...

Ever considered a research/academic career?

I have to agree with Tim and Edmond. You won't find many HD average people out there in Medical Science (and just science in general with a medically related major). Just to put in it to context, every year the Faculty of Science produces a "Dean's List", consisiting of the Top ~50 students for...

New Zealand is such a nice place to live. I've been to Auckland and I quite like the city. I think you should go for it. The cost of living is lower if not similar to major cities in Australia. Apply for admission directly to the uni at NZ and see what happens. Ask for transfer of credits so...

I hope the following chart will get you/your friend started. Have one or more US uni in mind --> Request for a prospectus online (see uni website) --> decide which one to apply --> Apply for admission online --> Apply for scholarships --> Ask for several academic/profession reference letter -->...

Maths or statistics is probably two of the majors that will directly link with your commerce degree. All other science majors train your critical and analytical skills that may benefit your knowledge in commerce related disciplines.

CalTech is also very good for enginnering. artitist91 is right. Consider your finance and see if it is affortable to go there. If you can, then go and apply for it and see what happens. If you don't know which uni to choose, then look for a place you would like to stay and narrow down your...

Have you read some of the threads that are on this forum? It will be very helpful. I say this to everyone so I'm repeating what I've said to another student from another thread: "My advice is to consider carefully exactly why you want to go to the US for engineering. Ask yourself the following...

Yep I'm doing a PhD in science.

My advice is to consider carefully exactly why you want to go to the US and the UK for psychology. Ask yourself the following questions: - Is there something that a psychology degree in this particular overseas uni offers that another Australian institution does not? - Are you going to this...

Which falls into the area of medical science.

Best option: Do any undergraduate degree (e.g. science-related), and then go for Graduate Dentistry at USyd. You can have a go at GAMSAT during the second year of your degree, then if your score isn't good enough go for it again in your third year. I'm sure you'll do well if you apply your self.

dammit! got charged at a higher rate for a crap course.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it might be "A".
