Title: 2011 Offers!
Post by: schmalex on January 16, 2011, 09:16:49 pm
As a UMEP student, I logged onto my student portal and clicked "view my entire study plan" and it tells me I got an offer for Arts at University of Melbourne! So I guess I'm the first VNer to get an offer! So I thought I'd start this thread. Even though I knew I was going to get in, it's actually a really, really cool feeling :)

EDIT: btw, my offer was for Arts at Melbounre. How did I not mention that?

Title: Re: 2011 Offers!
Post by: schmalex on January 16, 2011, 09:31:07 pm

Here's to hoping that I get Comm/Econ at ANU. Stuff wouldn't jump by 7 points right?

Also, _aVo, what is the score needed for yours?
Title: Re: 2011 Offers!
Post by: _avO on January 16, 2011, 09:32:57 pm
It was 92.15 last year so I'm hoping that I can make the clearly in this year

Good luck for tomorrow :D

It's not supposed to but we UoM students use it to find out our results earlier before it appears on the electronic transcript.

If you had a Melbourne uni course second then, most likely, yes. Why else wouldn't you have an offer at Melbourne?

Lol, that study plan and its glitches are the only good thing about the portal.

Bachelor of Biomedicine at the University of Melbourne.
Oh, and that old course, that Arts (Media and Communications) at the University of Melbourne...

Post by: simpak on January 17, 2011, 10:25:35 am
Okay here is my beef.  Last year it was like 18 degrees and I went to Fed Square and it rained all over me and my new top for like 40 mins before the HS people decided to give us the Offers thing.
So I think I will just get up early and get the paper tomorrow morning.

Do you know what time they gave them to you? Doesn't seem to say anywhere the exact time they'll be released.

And was it at the seven eleven or was there a HS stand or something? Sorry for the noobish questions but it'd be good to know :)

And yeah, me and a couple of friends are going + chocolate buddha afterwards haha.
Title: Re: 2011 Offers!
Post by: simpak on January 17, 2011, 10:40:49 am
There is a stand, lucky them getting to stand under a tent while it rained ;)
I think it depends on the year/what else is going on as to where they would set it up but kind of at the bottom of the steps?  I remember I read my offer next to those cafes and the female toilets while trying to RUN FOR COVER.

I can't remember the exact time but I'm fairly sure it's either 5 or 5:30, a couple of hours before everyone else!

And yes, DEFINITELY TAKE AN UMBRELLA.  My shirt was such a punny and cool rendition of the periodic table and white and then all you could see was my bra.

Dude, out of interest, what are you hoping to gain by correcting 10weid...? It's pretty clear that he's pro enough to not rely on his grammar on a forum to gain the respect of others.

You clearly can't take a joke. I'm sure 10weid can hence he didn't respond. You also obviously missed the heavily implied "rofl bro I'll leave you alone now". Relax man - seriously.

Well if he didn't get the offer than it wasn't considered a good interview ( from the uni side).

I wish I can tell you to relax but I know the feeling...good luck.

It's not risky as you have nothing to lose i.e even if you don't get it you can still stay in aerospace, and you have no chance of a second round offer anyway. All you have to do is call up UoM and ask if they have spots, and they'll walk you through it. I know someone who rejected Monash Pharmacy for UoM Biomed and it was fine.

EDIT: My wording was veryyyy bad. By reject I mean still accept the offer for Monash Pharmacy but tried for UoM Biomed as well, at no risk.

It's unlikely they offered it by mistake. If you email them and ask for confirmation that you've been offered a place then you can have a written offer to fall back on

If she's the only student in that situation, it's fairly obvious who she is. Just send an email asking for confirmation of your offer. If they confirm it, then ask about the prereq not being done.

I agree with some of the other people that have posted, DON'T tell them anything unless you are uncomfortable doing the course without the require prerequisite. If you think you can manage it, the only possible responses you will get will be, "Oh... Ok then, don't worry about it" or "Ok a mistake has been made, I'm really sorry but I'm going to need to withdraw your offer," and somehow I think the latter is more likely. Fair enough, if you don't think you can handle the course without bio, give them a call and discuss your options but if you think you'll be fine then just sit back and thank your lucky stars that somebody made a mistake.


I got into Arts at Monash... A bit upset because I would have just missed out on Law with SEAS but I guess that's how it works. Crossing my fingers for second round or internal transfer after a year.

probably because lots of people think that if they do biomed, then they can automatically get into graduate medicine. they think hey!! medicine for an enter of 98!! then lots of them get in and end up disappointed..
apparently the same thing happens at monash, in the hope that they can get into melbourne grad medicine, but naturally nowhere near as much as melbourne where the course is..

There are a lot of year 12 students/new 1st years who don't know anything about entry to graduate medicine other than "I need to finish my degree".

Doesn't help that the uni markets biomedicine and writes copy to support the idea that it's a feeder course for the MD, when in reality it's not.
Title: Re: 2011 Offers!
Post by: taiga on January 18, 2011, 11:58:45 am
I actually think MOST people doing Biomed take it with the hope of going into graduate medicine.

I'd like to note that 95% of students in that course scored an ATAR of 98.45 or above, so if you didn't make the cut for first year, I don't think your chances are dramatically improving once doing Biomed.

Then again it is a second chance nonetheless, so best of luck.
Title: Re: 2011 Offers!
Post by: striker_pete on January 18, 2011, 12:10:59 pm
The popularity of the UoM Biomed course is due to the idea that Monash Medicine is too selective (and possibly too out-of-the-way for students), and that students who complete the biomedicine course have naturally a "higher preference selection" for Graduate Med at Melbourne Uni as opposed to those doing the general sciences course. Personally, screw graduate offering, I want/need direct entry!
Also the prestige of UoM apparently precedes it, as back in the past it was the go-to uni for all things medical. Monash was apparently second-rate back in the day. :(
Title: Re: 2011 Offers!
Post by: Russ on January 18, 2011, 12:30:50 pm
You don't need direct entry, you just want it.

And yeah, most of the students either intend to apply for graduate medicine or have at least considered it (perhaps 75% of students was the rough estimate)

Hey Russ,

Any statistics in the MD course yet?

Nothing official, there are plenty of rumours but nothing I'd give credence to. I'll ask MDHS next time I'm in (Friday)

Yeah, nothing official even though offers were made ages ago and in fact, I think the med students start at the end of this month!

Update: The VTAC letter is basically the same as what we saw online.
Latrobe emailed me but its a generic welcome letter.
Tomorrow I will call and confirm my offer without mentioning biology.

Haven't really followed the iffets situation closely but am I correct in understanding that Biology and Chemistry are both required for Dentistry? When was this implemented and what other courses require Biology and Chemistry?
Title: Re: 2011 Offers!
Post by: iffets12345 on January 18, 2011, 07:51:04 pm
Implemented this year, but with mass confusion as their handbook didn't state it and the vtac guide said BOTH. Latrobe website only update it's "OR" to a "BOTH" halfway through the year apparently.

Given the confusion and the wording, I wouldn't be surprised if they gave a little leeway with the pre-requisites - after all, what could be worse than having students crying, then making angry phone calls at this time of the year?

Yea but I did that after results came out before VTAC applications closed and the woman was pretty short with me when I attempted to bully her...she basically said "No I am sorry you will have to apply next year as a Non-Year 12 applicant"

My thoughts are that they were unable to implement the both requirement. If you start year 12 wanting to do Dentistry but have no awareness of the pre-req, you shouldn't be adversely affected by their failure to properly notify you of the changes.
Therefore even if they said - oh sorry - you would possibly have even legal grounds to  challenge them and effectively enforce your place now that you have been given it.
But pretty much, my guess is that they realised their mistake and have subsequently made it an OR requirement for this year due to the issue.
You should ring them up anonymously as suggested. You should not act unaware though - I'd say that would make you out as dishonest and potentially may result in a situation further in the year where you could literally be in trouble.
But I'd suggest that because of the confusion this is a grey area. But really it seems objectively they have failed to implement their own pre-reqs due to their failure to notify you.
Title: Re: 2011 Offers!
Post by: werdna on January 18, 2011, 08:45:37 pm
I don't think you could call up anonymously... there are around 90 to 100 round one offers that were made (in Latrobe Dentistry) and they could easily go through all of these students and see which meet the prerequisites and which don't.

But good luck iffets!

Why is UoM Biomed in so much more demand and popularity than the Monash Biomed? There is a difference of around 6/7 ATAR points..

probably because lots of people think that if they do biomed, then they can automatically get into graduate medicine. they think hey!! medicine for an enter of 98!! then lots of them get in and end up disappointed..
apparently the same thing happens at monash, in the hope that they can get into melbourne grad medicine, but naturally nowhere near as much as melbourne where the course is..

What? I don't think anyone in biomed is stupid enough to think that "they can automatically get into graduate medicine" by doing biomed. That's just retarded..

agreed

i think the majority of us take the course knowing we will have to work our butts off to maintain the highest GPA possible and try for graduate med

Don't forget people do Biomed because UoM is the only university that offers Optometry and there's also Dentistry. It's not all about Med.

+1. Could people really be that naive? If they managed to get into biomed you'd think they'd have more common sense to see that it's gonna be very tough to get in. I'm not expecting med at all personally. I'm just gonna do my best and hope for the best. But at the end of the day there's multiple graduate options that I like so I'm not too worried about the prospects after I finish. And I'm sure many others are the same!

me too, med is what i want eventually but this way i get to branch out a little and be a 'more well rounded student' and figure out if med is what i really want seeing as my UMAT was disastrous im not sure if im cut out for it. if i get to the end and dont want med i'll have a degree and hopefully a diploma of languages too:)

Don't mean state the obvious, but if med is what you want to do don't let your umat results discourage you. Your umat score does not necessarily determine whether you'll make a good doctor or not..

QUESTION:

since there r so manyy people who got into science and biomed @ uom... 3 years later, what degree do you actually get as in career wise.

and for those who want to get into the medicine and other master degrees what is the % of ppl that are accepted and what happens to those who fail the test and dont get accepted D:

cause i was thinking of transferring but it might be risky that i dont get accepted T__T

You get a BSc/BBiomed and without further study it's mostly research/lab work/teaching etc. style jobs. Hard to leverage a bachelor's degree into a great job in science fields. Most go back for masters level education and even PhDs eventually.

Medicine has a lowish success rate, no idea on percentages. Lot of applicants won't get interviews but of those that do, 80% get in. If you don't get in...do something else. Attempt entry next year, start a Masters, get a job etc.
