hard to tell if i'll get in, considering i am not a rural person, have no indigenous experiences (which sounds...racist. but i'm not being racist. they just asked me about it) and don't actually want to work in australia after i get my degree. most of the other kids were from sydney on the day i went, and most had previously lived in rural areas.
but i guess i'll find out between christmas and new year...they like to give out offers earlier than other unis.

and if anyone is reading this who is thinking about medicinefor the future, but is uncertain about their UMAT scores, apply to JCU. its kind of worth the extra $25 it costs to apply through QTAC because if you write a good application (whic, trust me, is not that hard if i can do it) then you can probably get an interview. which is always a plus.

and also, if you do get an interview at JCU, my advice is don't even worry about the people who will be interviewing you. even the one who is supposed to be the 'devil's advocate' is pretty nice.
