Medicine Internationally

Oh FE then. I automatically (incorrectly) assume all good students are Asian so seeing your 98.35 ATAR...

Bhahahaha. That's actually pretty hilarious and thank you! That makes me feel special haha. I'm honoured to even be grouped alongside asians They're like the all-mighty!

And I get where you're coming from. Croats aren't really known to be "academic"... More so, extremists at the Aus Open haha. In fact, the highest enter a relative of mine has had was 92 or something. So most of the relatives were pretty shocked with my score haha. It's not a regular occurrence for croats

Wait till you go to Croatia mate. They study more than the Asians, especially the ones who go to Uni.

But yeh, in general Croatian-Australians aren't the most academic bunch...

Where are you from, western suburbs or...?

Do med in sunway

Do med in sunway

Why? Croatia > Sunway

For one, Croatia has awesome beaches + heaps of my family and is mega-cheap, 7k euro a year.

[iffets12345]

but sunway is monash, and is australian accredited. Aren't you asian?

[aznboy50]

but sunway is monash, and is australian accredited. Aren't you asian?

Nope...

Wouldn't I have to pay full-fee at Sunway?

I get a scholarship in Croatia because I am a citizen.

[iffets12345]

that's really rare. What he did was piss the shit out of them for an irregular offer ;]. He just kept calling and calling and calling. He had a decent umat, pro ENTER and probably had a decent interview.

and yea, you would pay full-fee but the conversion isn't too bad from memory.

[aznboy50]

What conversion?

NB: Blonde moment

Trust me, I could piss the shit out of them double what Shinny did!

Do they make more than one irregular offer per year?

[iffets12345]

currency conversion means full-fee ain't that bad, maybe 5k more than CSP in melb for sunway? Not sure, you should check> it's australian credited which is why I think it's good if I could afford it AND, malaysian living costs are cheapp!

[aznboy50]

That's too expensive for me >.<

Can you elaborate on what Shinny did, how would I do this, assuming I get an interview... do they ask you repeatedly what your ATAR was, because I don't expect 99.70 >.<

[iffets12345]

I'm not too clear anymore on details, he kept calling hte faculty after offers were out and said have u given an irregular offer yet? Have I received one? yadida it annoyed the lady so much and he got it.

[aznboy50]

Will be doing similar if I get in the position.

Will phone call three times a day. Will visit the faculty every day to ask.

Then e-mail several times.

Then spend the rest of my time calling various faculty members.

[iffets12345]

Okay, good to know lol. Just focus on studying now >_>

[aznboy50]

Yeh, with scores like yours...
I respect your advice!

By the way, why did you only do 5 subjects across two years?

[iffets12345]

um I had uni maths lol. Don't respect my advice too much, there's proer people out there LOL.
but I mean, don't be too fussed about all this technical stuff, make sure you have the score you want to get into MBBS by studying, if not, which you find out in around august/sept (UMAT results), then start the paperwork for Croatia or whatever.

[aznboy50]

Nah I can do a Biomed degree here that counts to two years of MD for there. So would attempt Melbourne MD then if not go to Croatia. But I'm fairly confident I'll end up studying medicine here. Or interstate even... It's just a Plan C.
