study score for doctor of dental surgery

I'm not saying it is impossible, but you are going to struggle to get all of first year Chem/Bio which are needed for second year Anatomy/Physiology/Biochemistry prereqs in purely as breadth at Melbourne.

That's what I was thinking, because I thought that you get 4 subjects, 3 core and 1 breadth, but I was thinking there's no way you could fit everything in :S
But on the other hand, is it possible to take more subjects than required, say taking 5 subjects instead of 4?

AFAIK, it would take 7 subjects as breadth (Chem 1+ 2, Bio 1 + 2, then the 3 prereqs).  You only get a maximum of 6.

There is probably provisions to take extra subjects if you want to or need them as prereqs.  Russ would know.

If you do well in Chem in year 12, apparently you can go straight to Chem 2?

Or does that only happen with Maths?

Don't think this is true.  What I do know though is if you never did year 12 Chem and do well in Fundamentals of Chemistry in Semester 1, they will let you advance straight to Chem 2 in Semester 2 without having done Chem 1.

VCE Chem isn't really related to what you do in uni chem...

Haha, I guess this is one of the moments where doing UMEP/MUEP Chem might actually come in handy!
