    Laptops at school

    What she said (but I dont want a mac they suck). And like basketcase said mine would also get stolen/destroyed and everyone would think I am a freak. Most people at my school dont even own laptops, I only have on because I paid for it with my hard earned money. Ive been using mine to study...

    School / Subject

    Re: POLL - What school you at? Is it true that Agriculture is compulsory at Hurlstone? (which would make sense considering it is an agrcultural school) I got in but I couldnt go at the time and now im kicking myself that I didnt and Im looking for a reason to be glad that I didnt go.

    What is your motivation?

    Ultimately, my motavation for studying is doing well in the HSC which means getting into medicine. If I get into medicine, I can become a doctor and eventually go work for Medicins Sans Frontiers. Just knowing that I can someday have a chance to make a difference in the lives of those who need...

    Mnemonics

    I used to hate them. I figured if you had to rely such methods, you obviously dont know your stuff well enough. That was before I started chemistry, biology and extension maths. Hows this one? Trig identities (the 2s are squared's) cosec2x-cot2x= 1 "cosy cot" sec2x-tan2x=1 "sexy tan"...

    Is it possible to pick up Chemistry in Yr 12

    I thought a bridging course was just that. A course for students who did not study that particular subject in yr 11 and 12 through which you learn the assumed knowledge for the course.

    University courses.

    I definetly agree, just saying that it is a lot easier to get a good UAI if you go to a good school. Besdies, its not like Im gonna just give up because of that. I still intend to work my ass off and get a good UAI. Which means I probably should be doing all my assesments and homework...

    UNSW Rural Student Entry Scheme?

    I have looked up everything I can find about The Rural Student Entry Scheme, and I am eligible. The question is, am I better off applying through the Rural Student Entry Scheme, or just normally? Applicants for it will be suggested based on UAI, UMAT, interview, and 'rurality' or rural rating...

    University courses.

    What he said. What can you do for medical work experience? I did nursing in year 10, because it my careers advisor suggested it when I told him I was intersted in medicine. I just assumed it meant that you cant do anything with actual doctors. Is there anything else you can do?

    University courses.

    No offense, but considering what school you go to, thats easy for you to say. The highest UAI anyone has ever gotten at our school was around 97.5. And she was about 5 points above the person who came second. Thats not because our school is full of lazy, dumb people, its because it isnt that...

    B Medicine/B Surgery @UNSW UAI 95+ UMAT +interview That is all. Not getting in is not an option. (yes, I am one of those people who cannot deal with failure and will likely have a nervous breakdown at HSC time lol) Thanks for the advice. Ever since I read somewhere that the medium UAI is...
