UoM General Chat

That's probably a question best suited for MDHS or GEMSAS themselves - if you're desperate to know just pop by MDHS and you'll get an answer immediately.

Same thoughts here though my chances for even a BMP are slim. If it's detrimental to finding a job back in the city I may place Deakin/Monash CSP over melb

With Deakin, I know someone who's studying there and they've said getting back to metro hospitals for internships is pretty hard - most stay around the Geelong area. If you want metro I would put Monash above Deakin

Your degree is composed of 24 units taken normally in blocks of 8 over 3 years. You cannot do more than 24 units (I've asked the student centre because I wanted to do some extras out of personal interest). Even if you have 21 units completed at the time of application, your GPA will still encompass all 21 units. Because at the end of the day, your GPA will also depend on the last 3 or 4 units that you complete for a conditional offer.

So in short, no, you won't be able to magically have a unit omitted from your GPA calculation. Your calculation will simply include that subject for whichever block of 8 to which it belongs.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure that one of your 9 units in second year would simply carry over to the third set of 8.

EDIT: And yeah - I understood what you meant. Just think about what happens with everybody who has already finished their degrees (all 24 units completed).

Ah, that makes much more sense. Thank you for your patience then.

I really appreciate the help from this forum.

This is now moving outside the scope of this thread - if you'd like to discuss rural medicine places/GPA etc. in detail then please head over to the Medicine FAQ thread or that subforum and open a new thread there and we can carry on.
It'll save me snipping and pasting from here in order to save everybody else from reading about us

Just noticed that the SES is now open...I can't wait to rip into some of my subjects...

This may not apply to UoM, but I know that at some unis, SES actually helps the university determine which faculty stay on and which are shown the door. So don't be too harsh!

It definitely applies to UoM - a new lecturer/academic in second year specifically mentioned that this was the case (along with a few in later years.)

For some reason perpetually complained about lecturers can continue on.

Does anyone know by any chance when during the sem 2 exam period the Intermediate Macroeconomics and Food for a Health Planet exams have been historically scheduled? Obviously this is super sketchy, but would love a rough guide (even if people could just say when they might have done the exam themselves before).

Oh crap I already submitted my CHEM10006 and I showed absolutely no mercy. I don't actually want any of the staff fired but a whole semester's build-up of frustration was really shown through in my comments.

That is incorrect as I'll end up w/ 25 units as you can take a CAP subject but it'll cost you ~$3k.

Yeah but CAP isn't a part of the standard degree. It isn't covered by HECS as you've already stated. Out of curiosity, will your extra subject contribute to your GPA?

For Chem fundamentals, how useful is the modelling kit? I never got around to purchasing one at the start of the year and before I go and buy one, I just wanted to get another opinion on whether I should.
Thanks

I didn't need one.
If you do however decide you want one you can have my unused (but opened) kit for $20.

God dammit I somehow missed an entire page for an exam. 0/10 marks. Fukking stupid way to lose marks.

Fuk.

Damn man, what subject was it? How much was the test worth?

I've done that before.

Was an honors subject. It's only worth 6.25% of my overall grade (which matters for applying for PhD) but I think it counts as an individual subject (which matters for med GPA). For this individual subject it comprises 50% of the mark. Basically just got a triple weighted H2B unless my other assignment is A+++ or something. Fuk.
