I'm still undecided. I'm either gonna defer my uq offer to save and travel for a year, or start biomed this year.

Haha, you were telling me to go!
UniMelb just has this ring to it which makes it so appealing haha. :P

lol, yeah. I read your argument for staying on mso, and I now actually think I'd do the same thing if I were you. From what I've read Griffith does seem pretty dodgy.
I'm starting to think that I'd rather stay here with my friends and family and work hard to get into med, than go to brisbane to live with the bogans where the first two years will be relatively cruisey..
Will see though..
And yeah, Melbourne Uni is an awesome place to study. I studied in the biomed library last year and loved it (except when I got kicked out..) and the biomed subjects look really good. Also there's gonna be that massive new neuroscience facility next year!

I know. I seriously am going to love that place. And yeah, Griffith seems very bottom tier med. I was surprised that so many people rate JCU above Griffith, so it mustn't be great.
Also, the provisional course has strings attached, and moving for what could be a BMP would be a flop.
As for that list, I don't know what I was stressing about haha. Every time I read it, it is so convincing, that I don't even see why I bothered applying there!

Yeah, they're a rip-off. Hardly anybody wears them. They're only $50 at the bookshop, though:

Do you mean see what your timetable will look like? Cuz you can (kinda) already do that by manually going to each subject page in the handbook and drafting it up. 2011 lecture and tute things are already there.

I think I read somewhere that timetabling starts on Jan 30. My memory could be faulty though.

Because Sci now takes preference over Arts timetabling - something which was realised last semester when the subjects were ridiculously timed and all clashed with one another.
Anyway, yes, and also we get to choose our own times from the beginning rather than getting the timetable made and then transfers becoming available later...

Cos I'm trying to register to make an itinerary for AAD and it says to put your email address in, I thought it meant our melb uni one or, does it mean your normal email address? :S

It had it on the enrolment page. Was on hold for like 15 minutes and had to listen to AWFUL opera music. The singing pierced my eardrums so I had to hold the phone like 30 cm away from my ear!

Oh wait I think I remember something about that. It's basically just a reception type service where they hear your problem and say "oh, sounds like you need to talk to x department," then either patch you through or give you their number. They might have a sheet with answers to some basic queries, but not a whole lot. Your best bet if you want something is to find the number of the relevant staff member or student centre on the website and call that.

also i have a question regarding to this quote
"Completing two majors may preclude students from being eligible for honours in either discipline. Students are advised to obtain course advice and plan their subjects carefully in order to keep their options open for honours."
it's from here http://www.bcom.unimelb.edu.au/bachelor/majors/majors.html
so ...is it good to do a double major or not?i want to do a honours degree as well...sighs ;D

But I know I need to do Physics for Biomedicine and Calculus I.
Post by: Stroodle on January 18, 2011, 11:43:59 pm
Edit: Am I sure I'm smart enough for biomedicine, Can't even complete enrollment!
Haha, instead of the umat, uni's should just give med places to those that are able to enrol in the course properly.
+1
We stop at the enrol into subjects yes?
Because we need to work out what type of Calculus + Physics + Breadth subjects we need to do yes?
This is for Biomed.
Yeah I think so. I'm just gonna go ahead and pick my subjects now though.
You've probably already got this link, but if not, the subject info is here: https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/B-BMED
Haha, you are going to pick now?

Yeah. I have to do Calc II :( I wonder if they'll pick up on it if I just enrol in Calc I..

Don't think it is allowed though. :(
Post by: Stroodle on January 18, 2011, 11:48:59 pm
You can do Calc 1 if you want. Sort of a waste of a subject, though.
Awesome. Are you sure though? The handbook says "Students with a score of 30 or more in VCE Specialist Mathematics 3/4 will not be permitted to enrol in this subject"
I discovered I don't really like maths that much, so would much prefer to just do Calc I.
Post by: rustic_metal on January 18, 2011, 11:51:00 pm
Calc 2 is easy, anyway.
Post by: Stroodle on January 18, 2011, 11:51:36 pm
^ Yeah I want to do something similar. Apparently regular Physics is better than Physics for Biomedicine.
Don't think it is allowed though. :(
Yeah, I read that too. Looks like something good came from me doing vce physics :) I do wonder which physics best prepares you for the gamsat though..

Oops, didn't notice that, since it was down the bottom of the page.

Unfortunately we have to do a maths subject, and I really don't want to do Linear Algebra or Accelerated Mathematics.

You learn most of the same stuff. It is just that the biomed one assumes you know nothing, and you have to learn everything from scratch in a very crammed amount of time.
And it doesn't even let you enroll in subjects past this year, as the ones after that need the 2011 ones as prerequisites. :P
I will just wait for AAD from here, and procrastinate and make a thread about breadth haha.

Linear algebra is even easier than Calc 2, imo. Probably best to do calc 2 if you're doing biomed, though.
Really? You're good at maths though yeah?
I find the course description kinda scary:
"Little of the material here has been seen at school and the level of understanding required represents an advance on previous studies."
@Stonecold. Oh, ok. THanks for the info. I feel like I've forgotten nearly everything I learnt in VCE physics..
I think I'll look into subjects a bit more over the next couple of days (I actually find it extremely fun; nerd here) and if I'm still unsure I'll wait till AAD too.

You would be wiser to do the more advanced courses as they will put you ahead for what you want to do next?
But I think I did hear of some people who claimed they didn't remember enough from methods/whatever for them to take the next step up and that was a legitimate excuse for them.

The uni has a transcript of all of your vce scores: enter, gat results, study scores, your grades for each subject, umat results, etc. Don't even try to trick them: they know what you've done. :P
Do you know if they screwed up with the Accelerated Maths thing and only needing a 38 in Methods?

Apparently when uni starts, they'll put up a list of student numbers of people who shouldn't be doing that subject and advise them to change before forcing them to change in the end anyway.

Don't know anything about any UMEP changes. I did it in 2009 and it was basically equivalent to all of linear algebra, all of calc 2 (minus the stuff on ODEs) and most of real analysis. If you claim credit for it, you only get credit for Accelerated Mathematics 1, though.

Hey for all the maths subjects we can only use a scientific calculator right? If that's the case then I probably won't mind it so much - I really hated using a CAS caluator..
No, you don't get any calculator at all. The upside is that you don't need one, it's not that hard. Calc1 is easy anyway.

The assignments are literally the easiest part of the course. The one time there was a question that nobody could do, they scrapped it and gave everyone the 2%
The way it works is you get two questions to do but only one of them is actually marked

English Language Breadth Track
https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/!065XX-BRDS%2B1093
Liguistics Breadth Track
https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/!065XX-BRDS%2B1093
The Nature of Human Development Breadth Track
https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/!065XX-BRDS%2B1136
Am considering this also, but I don't think I would do well. It seems too philosophical haha.
https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/!065XX-BRDS%2B1038
And maybe this as a tack on subject, because it could help with the GAMSAT. Not sure atm.
https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/UNIB10006
Also, you can add your biomed pathway now (maths/physics subjects), and worry about breadth later. :)

Sure can, but it won't let us put them in atm for some unknown reason.
Here is a vid:

Yeah, under the drop down box where it asks for subject code.
For example, I search MAST10011 and nothing comes up.
I also searched UNIB30002 and it didn't work.
I called them up and they just said to wait for AAD.
Ha. When I called them the girl said to wait for AAD, but then when I told her that the email strongly recommends we do it before then, she said I better do it before then, but I can change it later..
Did it let you search/add them?
I search and nothing comes up. :(
I haven't tried yet - still working out my breadth subjects (I wonder how hard latin is?).
I'll try soon though and let you know.
Have you decided what you're gonna do for breadth?
Umm, well I am tossing up between these three at the moment.
English Language Breadth Track
https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/!065XX-BRDS%2B1093
Liguistics Breadth Track
https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/!065XX-BRDS%2B1093
The Nature of Human Development Breadth Track
https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/!065XX-BRDS%2B1136
Am considering this also, but I don't think I would do well. It seems too philosophical haha.
https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/!065XX-BRDS%2B1038
And maybe this as a tack on subject, because it could help with the GAMSAT. Not sure atm.
https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/UNIB10006
Also, you can add your biomed pathway now (maths/physics subjects), and worry about breadth later. :)Nope, not coming up with anything for me too :(
LOL. They want us to enroll and we can't even do it yet!
Cool, some of those look awesome.
I think I'll probably go with the Logic, meaning and computation breadth track: https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/%21065XX-BRDM%2B1003
Would like to do Latin, but I think it'll probably be too much work..

Just so you guys know, you don't have to do an entire track. They were added this year with the changes to breadth, to make it easier for new students to see later year breadth subjects
FYI, you all need to do same sex desire, because otherwise i'm going to be might bored in lectures with nobody to talk to
Hmm, sounds like those lectures might end up being be like a pickup ground..
Post by: Russ on January 19, 2011, 05:20:00 pm
Haha, i'm actually undecided on breadth because it's my final choice to make and it doesn't matter that much. Don't want to do a science subject, someone tell me what breadth to pick!

Do you know if beginner's spanish is hard? I studied spanish for a year ( can't remember much though) so I'm considering it..
Post by: rustic_metal on January 19, 2011, 05:45:52 pm
I did beginners Japanese this year and found it very hard, given that I have almost no experience with Japanese or Chinese (damn Asian kids already knew what all the kanji meant!). Still, it was very fulfilling and I miraculously passed both. :P
haha, do sociology of the body
Bah, sex classes. They just try to get you in with the course descriptions, then teach you a bunch of boring stuff.
I remember last semester my friend (girl) got a text from a group member (girl) in her sex class about an assignment. I sneakily texted back a dirty message, then completely forgot to tell my friend about it. 4-5 weeks later my friend is telling a story in a pub about how one of her group members was acting really weird for weeks, then finally confronted her and told her that she was sorry but she didn't return the feelings she'd admitted to in her text. Cue WTF. It didn't click until near the end of the story that I was responsible. :P
Post by: rustic_metal on January 19, 2011, 05:51:59 pm
I thought that there were several different levels for language subjects, the beginners' stream, post-VCE stream and advanced stream so that the beginners' subjects were suitable to those without prior knowledge of the language. But well done :) Doing a diploma of languages?
By 'beginners' I meant Level 1. The different streams are generally just starting points for people with different experience levels. For people who know nothing at all about it, you start at Level 1 (which most people call 'beginners'). People who did it in VCE start at Level 2 (which we call 'second year'). People who did really well in it in VCE start at Level 3, etc.
And yeah, Diploma of Languages. Just because my degree wasn't long enough as it is! :P *graduates in 2016*

Just leave it blank and press search. It'll come up with two pathways: standard and bioengineering. Choose the pathway, and then you can enrol in the subjects you want.

If you studied it properly you should have very basic conversations in like a week of studying ;)
Uni will ensure you will know more then just 'very basic', they teach it effectively I've heard, i'm sure you aren't that bad !

I dunno about that. My friend did spanish at latrobe for 6 months, and was still only learning present tense at the end of it. I'd hardly call that conversational, or even basic conversational, but obviously that's just my opinion.
One of the main things that scares me (along the amount of time I'd need to put in) is the oral assessments..
That's just me though. Other people in the classes I took picked it up really quickly and were able to develop a pretty big vocabulary in a relatively short amount of time.

Like you have to choose which semesters to do 'Calculus 1' and 'Experimental Design and Data Analysis'.
I am thinking maybe to do Calculus first, because then it could help out with Physics in Semester 2?

People generally do Calculus 2 in first semester, since for most people it's the most basic maths subject and needs to be out of the way quickly so you can apply the knowledge elsewhere. If you have to do Calculus 1, that's sort of lagging behind as far as course planning is concerned (since calculus opens a lot of doors if you want to change what you're doing), so you'll want to get it done ASAP. :P
This. Calculus 1 is best done is 1st semester. Maths at uni is a little bit unique compared to other science offered (eg. handing up assignments, etc).
Also, make sure either Iain Scott or Deborah King is your lecturer. If either one of the Alex's is your lecturer, then you'll be in for a hard semester. :)
P.S. Iain Scott is the BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does Iain Scott teach calc 2 and/or accelerated maths 1? He sounds pretty good :)
I think he can but doesn't. I've only seen him lecture Real Analysis, Calc 1 and be a tutor for Linear Algebra. I think he does more subjects but I probably haven't heard (yet).
And yes, I would sincerely rate him as one of the best in the department, although John Sader would come close to knocking him off his perch.

I personally enjoyed the concepts and such a lot more than Physics 1 and VCE Physics, mainly due to the fact it was linked to human body stuff. It's harder than VCE Physics in the sense that you need to grasp the fundamental concepts a lot better to understand what you're doing, and it's less calculations, more concepts based.

When will we know our timetables?
Do we get to choose our lecture times and stuff?
and how many days a week does a typical student attend uni?
On the 31 January starting at 10 am, you will be able to construct your entire timetable on the student portal. You can either create it from scratch or let the system "try" to create a class-free timetable for you and then you can move things around. You will be able to choose everything - lectures, tutes, labs and seminars (if applicable) based on the times they are offered.
How many days a week a student attends uni depends on the course they are doing. Arts and Commerce students may be able to get days off but biomed and science students on the other hand will be extremely lucky in first year.
P.S. I don't think biomed students can have a day off in first year based on their contact hours... But I'm not sure. Russ will be able to inform you.

Couple of weeks before uni starts, from memory.
Yeah, the old system auto-allocated everyone, but now you pick classes from the available times. Be warned that they fill up fast, so get in quick!
5 days a week for most students; 4 if they're incredibly lucky and those 4 days will probably be packed. Commerce and arts usually have about 2-3 days worth, but because of timetabling, it's generally spread out over 4 days.
EDIT: Biomed will be just over 20 hours a week, most likely. So 5 days a week of class.

Core subjects + Calc II in semester 1, EDD in semester 2, and Physics 2 LS&E in semester 2. Also one breadth per semester - most likely from the Logic, meaning and computation track.

If I apply for an irregular offer will I still be able to accept either one (main round offer or irregular)?????
Yeah you can take either if you get the additional offer. Just apply for the irregular offer and continue with accepting the first round offer and if you get the irregular one then you decide.

Well I would do Psychology major or Animal Health so that's already pretty much decided :>
I'm just unsure if I'm cut out for the GAMSAT etc. and I'm not sure I want to do anything else biomed will give me.
Also I'm wondering the same thing about offers - if I haven't accepted Bbmed and if I do apply to Science do I still get to choose between either? Or do I have to accept Bmed for that to work? Because then I will get some call from the uni telling me I've enrolled twice.

If im doing bachelor of commerce, i do 3 commerce subjects and one breadth?
Per semester, yes.
Throughout the degree, you take a minimum of 4 breadth subjects. You then have an additional 2 free elective subjects, which you can use on Commerce subjects or on more Breadth subjects.
I have my breadth Q thread here if you want to know the technicalities.
http://vce.atarnotes.com/forum/index.php/topic,36767.0.html
Basically, you can only take a maximum of 3 breadth subjects that are level 1, and you must take at least 1 breath subject that is level 2 or 3.

Oh awesome, thank you.
Do I really have to contact selection officers before submitting an application for an irregular offer? I'm only considering one other course right now anyway so no need..right?.

To be honest with you I would have chosen science if I didn't like all the subjects in the biomed course (with the exception of maths - which I could take or leave).
Did you like the immunology stuff you did in the VCE? What don't you like about the biomed course?

hmm, I think I'll contact them first. There's still one more offer I can get from 2nd round and I don't wish to forfeit my eligibility by applying for an irregular offer to a course that has no vacancies left.
Basically I screwed up my preferences back in december lol.

I don't mind being boxed into something I like :)
Also one of the biggest things that turns me off Science is that many of the students don't seem to be that serious. I sat in on the first year biology lectures last year at UoM, and there were sooo many students that just came in and chatted the whole time about irrelevant crap, which I, and my friend, found really distracting. I personally feel that I will perform a lot better in a more serious cohort.
As for physics, it seems to me that most people either like it or hate it (at least in vce). I didn't like vce physics, but at the same time I didn't find it particularly challenging, and got a half decent score with minimal effort.
Sorry I don't really know how to help other than telling you my situation - hopefully some of it applies to you too...

Hmm, maybe you should carefully read through all the subject descriptions (if you haven't already), speak to biomed students, and also possibly a uni councillor to see if that helps you?
Edit: If you liked vce bio, I think there's a good chance you'll like a great deal of the biomed course. Obviously I don't know for sure though..

Yepp!
Here is the breadth handbook.
https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/faces/htdocs/user/breadth/BreadthSearch.jsp?year=current
Just choose Commerce, and it will show all of the subjects you can do. Keep in mind the restrictions regarding to levels which I mentioned earlier.
They also have these things called 'Breadth Tracks'. It is just basically a group of semi-prescribed subjects from the same domain (such as a language or biology for example) which is kinda like a breadth plan if you aim to study subjects all from the same area. It is not set so you can change it around to whatever subjects you like.
And you are not required to take a breadth track, but apparently it is recommended. I still am unsure over whether to take lots of random subjects or take a group of linguistics subjects.

I'm just unsure if I'm cut out for the GAMSAT
You're probably the perfect candidate for the GAMSAT, far more so than students who do methods/spec/physics/chem in year 12 and then science at uni. At UoM 2/3rds of your GAMSAT mark is determined by your ability in the humanities. The fact that I did 2 histories (+ lit) during VCE probably helped me a lot.
You probably won't feel boxed in during biomed, depending on what you want. In first year you're forced to do chem/bio/maths but the chem and bio you'd be doing anyway and the maths...well...you can scrape through the maths. Once you hit second year, the core subjects are probably the best the uni has to offer in any degree and you can pick your own electives/major

Literally all of this will happen in biomed as well, especially in 1st year. people in 1st year don't know anything anyway, that's why they're talking in lectures :P

I had two calls and the first one was all 'don't accept your offer until you're 150% sure because you cannot be enrolled in two courses at once'.
Helpful!
And then the second one was all 'rawrrrr IF YOU GET AN OFFER TO SCIENCE YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT BECAUSE YOU'RE STEALING PLACES FROM OTHER WORTHY STUDENTS'.
Confuses me more.

She didn't make it amazingly clear to me, whether my original offer from Bmed still stands and whether my chances of being offered a place in science diminish if I have already enrolled in the institution.
Post by: dyaner on January 21, 2011, 01:57:31 pm
What's the thing with levels for every subject? Level 1, 2 and 3. What's the difference? Then I realise the subjects has to be according to the course structure (credit points, etc). I'm still trying to get my way through, though I already have a rough idea of what I like to do.
It's insane!
Post by: Russ on January 21, 2011, 02:06:48 pm
Basically, you need to do 300 points of study over 3 years. 100 points a year, every subject is 12.5 points (yes some aren't but deal with that if it matters).
Level 1 = first year, level 2 = second year, level 3 = third year
You do not need to do 8 level 1, 8 level 2 and 8 level 3 subjects. You cannot do more than 10 level 1 subjects. You do not need to do only level 1 subjects in first year and so forth.
I don't know what your goal is for your degree, but in first year you'll probably be taking your basic subjects - maths, physics, biology, chemistry etc. depending on what you hope to major in. They will mostly be level 1. You can fill in any gaps with any subjects you're allowed to take. In second year, you'll do mostly level 2 subjects, the direct prerequisites for the subjects in your major. In third year, you'll do a major (level 3 subjects) plus anything else you feel like (ie the 2-4 spaces left over, because a major is 4 subjects)

You can enroll. But unless you are sure what to choose than probably best to wait til Monday.
It is no biggie though. You can drop subjects and add new ones if you choose the wrong thing or change your mind. :)
Also, does anyone know if it is possible to get timetables yet, or is that Jan 31?

So you only get 20% off if you pay >500 each year?
Post by: stonecold on January 21, 2011, 11:55:24 pm
Australian citizens and permanent humanitarian visa holders will receive a discount of 20% for up-front payments greater than $500. Permanent residents and New Zealand citizens studying in Commonwealth Supported Places are required to pay the full student contribution up-front without discount.
So you only get 20% off if you pay >500 each year?
Yeah, and I think it is for the amount you pay.
So if you pay $1000, then I would assume that takes off $1250 from your debt.

Just enter nothing, then hit search. It should then come up with the different pathways you can choose.
It took us ages to work this out too haha.

Also, just so you know, being there at 10am isn't going to help you much. The server will lag and it'll take 5 minutes to load the study plan timetable app and when it does, it'll tell you there are no vacancies. Way easier to wait a few hours or days and then do it (they don't even open up all the spots on the first day)
edit,
2011 diaries are now available, once you get your student card you can pick one up from your student centre. And if you want to avoid the flood of new students, go grab one now. A little birdie also told me that Biomedicine scholarships were sent out on Thursday the 19th

Don't worry, they will stagger the release of class spots so everyone will get a chance to pick their classes :P
According to the Melbs it's 10am on Jan 31st !
/cries/ Life is so unfair I'm going to be at uni five days a week to do two subjects.
as if..?
Well considering I can't accept the irregular offer until the fourth I'll miss timetabling >:

A little birdie also told me that Biomedicine scholarships were sent out on Thursday the 19thI only found out about the scholarships yesterday. :(
The uni should advertise them better!

if you are doing only two subjects, I'm sure it wont be 5 days.. It's just two subjects... Why only two anyway?
Because I will have credit for breadth and psychology so I only have to do 50 points all year, 25 per sem.
why wouldn't you just start second year subjects, or do extra electives so you can have a lighter load in second and/or third year where the work is harder? :\
Because I want to save money for exchange by working more next year (as in like, part time job working) and I'm not sure what I will major in exactly :)
Also I can't do a whole bunch of second year subjects because I won't have done Biology or Chemistry until 2012.
Having less subjects remaining in your degree will be extremely useful when it comes to organising exchange, trust me. :P

Not for meeeee, I have to do four subjects at Penn to be enrolled and with breadth pretty much already done I kind of only have to do one or two breadth subjects, which means I am saving larger work loads for exchange.

For science, they usually do. Last semester I didn't bother going on at 10 am. I did mine at ~5 PM and still got all my classes.
This year, I'll do the same except I'm not sure since I'm doing less popular subjects. There'll be no problems with allocating the lectures (since there's only one stream :P ) but tutes on the other hand, are dwindling in numbers.

If it's something you're truly passionate about or if you really despise your old degree with such passion, then go for it. :)

No. If there was, I would be there rather than here. :P
So true. The amount of "under the table" stuff that would go on. It makes you wonder, doesn't it? :P
EDIT: Russ, stop beating me to it. :P And you were a little bit too "revealing". :P

Yep. Commerce student centre if your userbar is sincere (like mine).

Is the only way i can change my personal details by calling them??
Or if your portal is being nice to you, then the portal would do the trick. In fact, I just changed my mobile number there.

Haha everything is okay now, I got through and then was told I had been misinformed in my call a week ago and that I need not panic at all.

13MELB, 2nd year students in battery-hen cages with phones, headsets, binder books and coffees getting paid $9 and hour for something they couldn't care less about.

Yeah definitely. But it's annoying how they have the 13MELB number everywhere. Look at the Portal notices, they have the 13MELB contact number and email on every admin notice. It's probably going to take twice as long to get something done for those unaware - an email to be processed/redirected by 13MELB will take ~3 working days and another 3 working for the destination dept. Not very productive...
