1. You can accept an offer from UQ and if you receive an offer through UAC, you can accept that too. Then you will have to contact UQ and tell them you are dropping out. 2. If you complete first year of the combined medicine at UQ and still wish to transfer to UNSW, UWS, UoN, you just need to...

Re: Preferences (... and EAS) --> is it worth putting Combined Law as a preference??? For Combined Law at UNSW, HSC points don't apply so you will have to rely solely on EAS points.

Takes me 1 hour to get to UNSW but can take from 1.5-2 hours during peak hour!

An ATAR of 99.95 is only necessary for USYD. For the majority of universities, ATAR is merely a threshold (although you should strive for 99+ for a good chance at all universities). UMAT is more important since almost all universities will use that to rank you (after passing the ATAR threshold).

Not sure on the difficulty of transfer since I have not done actuarial but I'd imagine it would be since actuarial itself is a demanding course and difficult to achieve the HD's necessary to transfer to UNSW. If you take a gap year, they will still consider your ATAR for 2016 entry.

The guarantee is for students who achieved an ATAR >99 (for full-fee) or 99.9 (for CSP) and applied through the Assured Pathway.

This year it was ~220.

Yes.

Congratz on the offer. UNSW will basically finalise the rankings and you'll be bumped up a bit (because of the increase in ATAR).

JCU is the only university that doesn't accept UMAT but I think their applications closed a while ago. You'll just have to do UMAT next year and maintain high grades and transfer after first year of university.

Can always transfer to UWS, UNE/UNCLE, UNSW, UTAS, JCU after 1, 2, 3 years of ANY bachelors.

UniMelb has a Graduate Access Scheme which lowers the entry score for their MD program. I believe USYD also has a similar program.

Not sure about Monash, but for UNSW Medicine EAS points aren't 'added' onto your ATAR, like non-Medicine courses. They will only consider you if you just missed the cut-off (for example, say you scored 90% UMAT and needed 98 ATAR - they will consider you if you got something like ~97.8).

Damn, Monash is transitioning to MD! Is that for the graduate only? If its for both, then how are they going to stylise the new UG MD? Like BMedSci/MD?

Directed.

For my year there was 2 stations. One was the standard "why medicine?" and the other was a reflection of your interview performance.

Unlikely you'll be able to do any science-related jobs with a 3-year medical science degree. You definitely need that honours year. I wouldn't worry about getting the grades to pursue honours, they accept everyone as long as you have a credit average.

Just to be sure, you can only be a lab assistant after 3 years of Medical Science AND 1 year of honours. You can also become a lab technician in a Diagnostic Unit. You get samples and you process them to see if a patient has a particular virus/bacteria, or toxins etc.

1) Job prospects for a 3-year BMedical Science is poor, you'll absolutely need to do Honours to even begin a career in research. Firstly, you'll acquire Honours and then you can apply for 'Research Assistant' positions. Your job description will include "doing experiments your supervisor tells...

UNSW's interview is the best :D Really loved how they focused on me and my experiences.
