just following the others lol- should we make a Facebook page/group?
EDIT: never mind!
-
Congrats on the offers all!
The official fb group run by the med soc is located here https://www.facebook.com/groups/MonashMed2020/
That's your best bet for getting answers to questions (I'm not in it), but you're free to ask questions here and I'll try and get back to you :)
So who's in for the ride? :D
edit: the med soc tends to take fb groups quite seriously (I'd argue too seriously...) so if you're not in med, really no point joining as they'll probably find your and kick you out
-
Congrats on your offer.
I should have met most of you already (the asian guy in the computer lab helping out with the SJT). Feel free to post any question here. 8)

Heres a link for the fb group for Monash MBBS 2016-2021:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/962898020465251/

You're honestly better off joining the official MUMUS one that I linked above too :P They really hate excess fb accounts :D
-
Yeah....too late oops, we made the group an hour ago :/ and they only just made a post about it ten minutes ago....
Oh well we can disband the group once people find out about the official one, I made a post about it anyway

I have a bunch of other pages liked to keep me updated with medical news (NEJM, JAMA, etc.) but I don't think there's any need at this stage :)
Also worth getting in touch with some second years and organising a year 1/2 study group (some call it a "VESPA") ASAP, will really help you guys (and them for their VIA exam).
-
woo hype!
Any second years on AN??

Yeah I don't think many/any are active posters any more.
(I also made a few edits to my above post, can never like too many pages!)

Quick question about enrolling:
It says you have to enrol in the course units to be "properly" enrolled however it also says you must attend the course info day before you enrol in the course units. The cut off day for accepting the offer is Friday 22 Jan which is also the same day our course info day. So do I enrol in the semester 1 and 2 medicine units now? Or on Friday?
Thank you :)
-
Adding onto mtse's post- since I'm overseas during the course info day what do I do for enrolling in semester units?

Enroll now :) I highly doubt there will be an attendance or anything taken on the info day, so you should be alright to fill it all in now :)
Adding onto mtse's post- since I'm overseas during the course info day what do I do for enrolling in semester units?
Safest thing to do is to call or email (good to have a response in writing!) the Faculty and tell them what's up. They should be understanding about it and tell you what is the best course of action (which I suspect would be to enroll in the units anyway)!

Bad luck mate! I know people that have got very late round offers (with similar stats to you), so chin up and keep it first pref just in case! :) It's also incredibly hard to gauge how interviews went for a whole host of reasons, wouldn't beat yourself up over it :)

Thanks Pi :)
Also one more question: we only have to confirm the units given to us right? Currently it says Med1011 and Med1022. There's no electives etc I'm assuming...
-

Yup those are your only units, one for each semester! Things like DipLang or DipArts can come into play after first year, things like BMedSci can come into play after second year :)
You also won't have to make your timetable, you'll find it should be all auto-allocated for you.

Ah that's convenient- so since it's auto-allocated is it not possible to influence a good timetable? :P
Also are there any 1st year ways to prepare for the DipLang (like what clubs or programs can I do)?

Pretty much no way, if you're lucky you can sometimes get a day off (not sure which semester that's in, but it's one of the four semesters in pre-clin years where that can happen haha). Lectures are all recorded so really you only have to be there fore tutes which are in the afternoon :)

I didn't do one, but there are definitely clubs on the various cultures, although they seem to be more about partying than improving language skills haha. Groups like this exist https://www.facebook.com/groups/398086943688700/ but not sure how often they practice etc.

Sweet thanks- so there's no point adding any units on the thing? I'll just click submit!

Just click submit :)

ok I did but it said: "Not enough credit points in each half of 2016" what does this mean?
-
Have you clicked enrol before submitting it?

Oh whoops nope I didn't do that I thought it said "Change enrol" not "Change" and "Enrol" haha. it's working now :)
Thanks heaps!

Oh and I'm on Allocate+ now- how do I have my timetable made?

hey splash-tackle flail, MBBS at monash is one of the very few "privileged" (lol) courses where you have absolutely NO choice in your timetable. everything is allocated by the faculty, and you aren't allowed to change anything. you can think of it as a good thing since you don't have to go through the entire stress of actually allocating subjects like in other courses. in first semester MBBS, they normally give you 1 day off a week if you are fortunate. but otherwise, they should do everything for you and you don't have to do anything in regard to your timetable :)

Ahh I see- thanks drake! that's good for me tbh less stress haha thanks for your help- I'm overseas so just need to make sure everything is sorted :)

Congratulations on your offers everyone.
I am currently overseas and will be unable to attend the course information day. Do you think it would be worth it to ask a family member to attend the session? Also, I will be missing the 3 hour session for the biology bridging course, should I be sending an email to [email protected] ? I remember there was a special email for the bridging course that was given on the day of the interview however I don't seem to have that with me.
On a side note, how useful are the Facebook groups (specifically the one for the class of 2020) that were linked by Pi? I don't have a Facebook account (not because I'm antisocial :P I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends) and I'm not sure if it's worth it to create one just for these groups.
Thank you.

Hey intel, I'm in the same boat in not being able to attend the info day, but I emailed them and they said it was completely fine if I didn't go (all the information should be on the MBBS Year 1 website here)
The email for the bio course is [email protected]. They'll add you to the online course (which you can use even if you can't come to the enrolment day).
-
Yay more meddies! :D
IntelxD, those fb groups (especially the 2020 one, the other groups and pages are less useful depending on your interests) are very useful. You'll miss out on a lot (ie. pretty much all) of academic/social events and announcements if you're not in them and not reading their posts, which isn't ideal! :)
-
Thank you very much Pi and cooldude. I guess it's time to make a Facebook account.
