ahhh help interview offer

[shonakennedy]

how many people are you competing against for how many places in medicine?

[shinny]

Uhh 500 interviews I think it was for ~180-200 places? Tough competition.

[shonakennedy]

.... what do i wear?

[excal]

.... what do i wear?

Business casual is probably your best bet. This would be a blouse, slacks and perhaps a jacket.

Uhh 500 interviews I think it was for ~180-200 places? Tough competition.

You've been through a test where 336 were selected of candidates numbering in the thousands. I think you'll be fine

Our cohort this year was 281, not including those who defered

[shinny]

That's surprising. The Monash website says theres only around 200. Hopefully this year there's more though given the scrapping of full-fee places.

[BA22]

well there are about 80 full fee paying kids in the course . .

Buti thought they had to keep the same number of positions in the course, hmm

[shonakennedy]

wow thats like massive. 280 places is heaps. my first preference has 30. lol. and only like 60 have applied. no interview for that one either. lol.

It's all an ENTER competition for those places.

[shonakennedy]

yeah it sucks how the system works. there are plenty of people with the drive and desire to become doctors and they would make a massive contribution to the health of our country. but no, only those with a good enter can get in, when clearly and enter does not always represent the true capabilities of a person. they need to change the process somehow.

[xox.happy1.xox]

Exactly! Most of the doctors nowadays are usually imports from other countries anyway (no offense international students ). We need more local doctors.

[shonakennedy]

exactly! if they didnt make it so bloody hard to get in there would be no need to import doctors from elsewhere. (no offence to international doctors. they all do a lovelly job.)
