Great work on getting an interview in the first place!! The only help I can really give is that the Medicine brochure thingy at http://www.medfac.usyd.edu.au/futurestudent/med/MedicineSydneyUni-Brochure.pdf says that there is a "semi-structured, objective interview".
I rekon you should plan for 'why do youwant to study medicine?', 'why did you apply for Sydney Uni?' etc, and perhaps some ethical hypotheticals.
Good Luck

I thought Sydney was postgraduate . . .

I think its mainly postgrad, but if you get >99.95 then you can get into the 7 year Science/Medicine undergraduate course. Here's the page http://www.medfac.usyd.edu.au/futurestudent/scimed/admission/index.php

sorry i don't know too much about interviews at usyd. you must have aced the umat to get an interview there. aren't there only 10 places? i didn't even bother. i have heard something about different stations and tricky moral/ ethical questions because its mostly postgrad. sorry i can't be more help.

congrats haque

I got one too, and so did Vinh. As this is the 2nd year of this course, I'd have no idea what the questions are like but I suppose they are much the same as all the other unis.

when's your interview?

Yea u ripped the hsc charles-vinh must have too. My interview's at 1045 am on 21st-best of luck man-i don't have much of a clue on how i'm going to prepare but at least some of the advice gets me started-thanx guys

Tell us how u went for ur interviews, the questions they asked and what they stuffed u up on(if u feel that it might give someone an unfair advantage then post later or don't lol). I'm not sur how i went-i had an upper respiratory infection and had a coughing roll(not a fit) and half the time i was blowing my nose lol. got tongue tied, kept apologising but they didn't ask anything untoward or specific-unlike the co-op, felt this was an easier interview.

ahhh

I just read this list of things you should 'do' before the interview and it says to do work experience at a hospital or with a GP. My school sux and we had to find placements ourselves. I called like 6 different hospitals but didnt get placement in any

Does not doing work experience affect your chances?

oh and congrats on ur UAI--freaking unbelievable---I thought if you get above 99.7 you get in automatically---(isnt that the entrance mark )

Can u ever get into med just with ur UAI and not have to do an interview or UMAT

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

99.7 was the old UNSW score.. in 2001
since then its changing

and your school does not suck.. thats wat all schools do.. if they do it for u.. then ure a lucky lazy lazy person

 

[Bob.J]
