does UNSW consider both GPA and ATAR even for students who are trying to enter via the lateral entry scheme (like yourself)? If so, doesn't that mean that you are already disqualified from entry as the minimum ATAR is 96? Not to be blunt or anything, just curious

You didn't do UMAT this year??? Yeah of course - with almost every single undergraduate med school you have to do the UMAT.. I wouldn't say that the GAMSAT sounds easier... the competition may slightly decrease, but if you truly wanted to do Med I would do the UMAT and GAMSAT as many times as...

The 6 spots set aside for the transfer are not based upon GPA.. the GPA acts as a threshold and is only 5.5. So academically, it's not very competitive. Students who meet the GPA requirement are ranked by UMAT. So the UMAT is relatively competitive, but it will still be below the first round...

Check the UWS website, i'm quite certain it has to be first preference before UAC prohibits changes around early January. My friend got 94 and has GWS and didn't receive the scholarship - he had it as 3rd pref though.

Firstly, you really need to ask yourself: Is medicine the only course that I want, and will I do everything I can to achieve it. In saying that, are you PURELY undertaking Med Sci and Sci courses as a means of one day transferring into medicine, or does a part of you have a potential desire to...

Re: UWS Chatter Thread when choosing electives at UWS, are you allowed to choose a unit at any level? E.g. Next year when I can choose an elective for first sem am I allowed to do "Introduction to Anatomy" - a entry/first year level unit?

S3 is generally me best.. was my best last year, and throughout all my prep.. but this year the patterns were harder and a lot more time consuming imo. I think the general consensus is that s3 was harder then expected/last year.

check mso. medstudentsonline.

as far as I know, UWS doesn't require 50/50/50 unlike UNCLE.

yes.. technically if you SMASHED either section 1 or section 2 then you could have failed and done horrible in s3.

UWS med weights UMAT differently to all other uni's.. weighting it 1:1:0.5, that is section 3 is weighted half of section 1 and 2. I believe that I weighted mark of around 145-150 is need to obtain an interview for GWS students.

wrong..

haha nah.. i WISH i was in med. I'm in Adv Sci at UWS - the "med pathway". Last year was horrible, poor mindset, dread, intimidation.. this year I was relaxed and more confident. Albeit, I still am unsure about what kind of marks i'll be looking at. S1 was good, S2 was okay, S3 was harder...

seat: B12 session: 1:30pm attire: blue skinny jeans, tight green t shirt // asian with glasses. was one of the people who ran to the toilet just before the announcements started.

3 hours a day over a year - definitely some dedication right there. In my opinion, UMAT isn't really something that you can study for 1 hour a day over a year's span. I think it's more doing timed past papers to develop confidence, speed and a feel for the test. I'm likely doing the exact same...

Yes. GAMSATS in March, UMATs in July. If your a 2nd year tertiary student / 2nd last year of university, then I'd definitely recommend it. Better to keep as many avenues open as possible. In terms of preparation, I'd probably advise only starting UMAT prep once GAMSAT is finished and...

Hi! I currently offer tutoring for HSC Chemistry and a few openings have just become available. I tutor around the Blacktown/Parramatta region. Check out the link in my sig.

Yeah the combined medicine program is only assigned to those who achieve 99.95 + interview. However - the graduate medicine program at Sydney, which is essentially the same thing, does require GAMSAT/GPA. The GPA is merely a hurdle and I think a GPA of 5.5 is the threshold. The GAMSAT score and...

Re: UWS Chatter Thread first sem of adv sci.. preety dam easy tbh. I went to 1 maths lec, 2 bio lec and 5 chem lecs and managed HDs.. chem n maffs is preety much HSC

IMO, iSplicer has given you very false hope.. the UMAT isn't a exam which you can expect to get 90+% on because you've been getting decent marks in prep material. The prep material differs to the actual exam and marks achieved on these should only be taken with a grain of salt. Even with that...
