How do your preferences look at the moment?(1) Doctor of Medicine- WSU
(2) Physiotherapy- WSU
(3) Physioptherapy- ACU
(4) Bachelor of Advanced Medical Science (Anatomy and Physiology)- WSU
(5) Bachelor of Biomedical Science- UTS
Also had MBBS program on QTAC for James Cook University as well!
How are you feeling about your preferences?Definitely would not get an offer or interview for (1), my UCAT score is waaay too low but why not.
Pretty confident I can achieve an ATAR of >95, so going for physio at WSU. Plan is to re-sit the UCAT next year and try to transfer that way
I really would like to get an offer for (3), but I highly doubt I will achieve an ATAR that is >97.70. However, we will never know!
In case things don't go to plan and I don't achieve physio, (4) and (5) are there. I'm confident I'll achieve a band 5 for chemistry, and through the HSC true rewards program I'll get in.
I have also put a preference up on QTAC for medicine at James Cook University, I am not too confident about this one though, and I don't really want to move interstate due to a number of reasons
.
Do you think they'll change? If so, how? I might change (4) and (5) to an advanced science degree or bachelor of science, not medical science due to a number of reasons, and also so I have something to fall back to.
I am applying for James Cook University, but I don't really want to right now. Moving interstate is quite scary, as well as a bunch of other reasons. However, I am going to give it a go.
(1) to (3) would presumably stay the same.
What are you aiming/hoping for? Will you be going headfirst into the world of higher education or taking a break next year?I am hoping to get into physio and transfer to medicine next year, probably at WSU though I might try for UNSW if my UCAT percentile is high enough next year. Even if I don't get into med, I'd still be happy as a physiotherapist. The other preferences are pretty good as well.
I will definitely NOT take a gap year next year. Knowing myself, I will just waste a whole year of my life and also lose momentum in terms of studying. I honestly can't wait for university!
