Prerequisites? (1 Viewer)

Are ANU's prerequisites just assumed knowledge like all sydney universities or will they actually not let you in unless you've done it?

I want to get into med science but haven't done yr 12 Chem and I really don't want to do a bridging course (accommodation/timing/money is really inconvenient).

From the website (http://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/program/BMEDS)

Prerequisites
ACT major in Chemistry or NSW HSC Chemistry or equivalent.
Students who do not meet the chemistry requirement may be admitted into the program via a different pathway. Students who:
- Have an ATAR score of 90 or higher, and
- Commence the Bachelor of Science program after completion of the chemistry bridging course available in February through the ANU Research School of Chemistry (or equivalent) and complete CHEM1101 and BIOL1003 with a minimum average of 65%, may then apply to transfer to the Bachelor of the Medical Science program.

Seems like you have to do the bridging course :/
