You just have to be one of the top 50 biomed students! Also not sure if the 50 biomed students extends to those doing a double degree, I'd presume it is but maybe just double check?

Yeah you can. They interview the top 100 or so biomed people based on WAM and then use MMI scores to determine the 50.

One of my mates did biomed/sci and then ended up dropped this sci to focus on biomed. I'll try and get him to post in this thread :P

Also  , heard that Melb is planning to also make their MD exclusive to there students. If such happens and I end up at monash does that mean to study in melb I only have monash as an option?

Thanks in advance :)

Well that's just speculation and afaik UoM haven't released anything saying that. Could happen though, but I think it would be unfair for it to effect people already in uni (the Monash one had like a 3 year transition so no one in uni missed out).

Melbourne: 45 mins
Monash: 1.45 hours

Not doing it for the money honestly, 2k is nothing, doing it for the non-GAMSAT pathway, can anyone enlighten me as to how to be non-GAMSAT worthy in Biomed?

Im in the same position as you. Except its for Arts. And i live about 20 min from Platform 1 at the station near your school. Idk why but something is telling me Monash and not Melbourne.

Okay so JUST to be sure....

1. What is the advantage of doing Bachelor Biomedicine/Science at Monash, instead of doing Biomedicine at Monash ?

2. So for people at Melbourne University sitting Biomedicine, do they ALL have to sit GAMSAT!

Thank you

@warya and @sunshine98 and @alter what's your first preference ?
2016-2019: Bachelor of Biomedicine

Oh k . But do u think if it were to happen they would do the whole 3 year transition as well? Cause now I'm reconsidering everything. I was certain with going to unimelb but now...guys im so confused  ???
Wanted to ask , so if you have to be in the top 50 or 75 of how many approx? How about the rest of the ppl do they still have to sit GAMSAT to be able to get a chance at med? Or they don't even get a chance?
Anyone know about this ? Cause if its like a gazillion students that would make it extremely difficult.

Biomedicine at UoM. Monash is simply too far away.

1) hmm not sure, they're both very similar degrees? Not sure how it would benefit you in the long run. Also would consider the cost of a double degree vs single degree, especially if you want to do postgrad study.
2) Yes, only Monash has the non gamsat pathway, but you'd sit the gamsat if you went to Monash anyway so to be eligible for Deakin and Melbourne.
3) Biomedical science Monash, after much deliberation

Go to VTAC and then coursesearch and type in biomedicine. This page shows you how many offers there were, Counting the 7 degrees with biomedicine in it (biomed+law, biomed+sci etc), there are ~650 people doing 1st year biomed in  2015. Keep in mind that not everyone is aiming for medicine. So you have to be in the top 7% of biomed students. However, there might be more students applying for biomed at Monash this year.
Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong.

As of now , its pending. But it was initially Biomed at UoM. Mainly cause I thought that post grad med at monash was all at Gippsland and that would be impossible to do because its like 1 hr and 40 mins . But one year seems bearable , I guess. I seriously don't know any more. So confused.
If I were to think travel wise for me UoM  is ~30 mins monash 50 mins.
Im confused  ???

Very hard to say as we're all just speculating here, but I would think they'd have to do it. It would just be so unfair otherwise.

Anyone know about this ? Cause if its like a gazillion students that would make it extremely difficult. 

I think it's like ~300-400 people in Biomed? Not everyone is going for med though and not everyone is going to have a competitive WAM. I'm sure the exact numbers are in the VTAC guide for everyone in Biomed and Biomed doubles.

Edit: as above seems there are 650

2. So for people at Melbourne University sitting Biomedicine, do they ALL have to sit GAMSAT!

Except Chancellors, yes. They all have to sit the GAMSAT.

The VTAC guide should have all the numbers.

There's more than 500 people in Melb biomed, I've heard a lot about one of the benefits of the course being having a small cohort...doesn't seem all that small lol
