mine hasn't (but that could be because I applied for spec consid)

I did MBB2 and mine didn't change either if that helps (and I didn't apply for special consideration).

Yup same here; did MBB2 but no change in WAM. Why would that happen though? My guess is that if the results were released for some then we may probably have a WAM change tomorrow!

SAQ and it was on the second day of the exam period. It's a small cohort though and Biochem is incredibly efficient.

How hard IS the MD interview? Exchange has partially disillusioned me towards doing research because I don't know if I could handle the frustration at having to solve one and only one problem day in day out with things just not working. So, med might be a thing for me. Unfortunately meeting prereqs means 6 subjects next sem. On the flip side, I am NOT doing a prac subjects this time around so I should be ok. It should still mean I'm giving myself crazier and crazier timetables. Sigh.

I feel as if I should have went for the interview right after year 12 now. Something tells me year 12s would get in easier than third years.

Hey guys quick question;

Pharmacology: How drugs work - some people have told me that for this subject there is a ''fair bit of chemistry involved'', but I've done a fair bit of research and it doesn't look as if there is much chemistry. Mostly rote learning and application. Has anyone done this subject and could please tell me how the content is like? I don't want to do something with too much chemistry. ----- And i've read the course design doesn't it kind of overlap with physiology? Like with all the application stuff and pathway stuff?

The subject looks amazing!

Thank you!!!

Any questions related to pathways towards studying dentistry or physiotherapy? Gimmi a PM!

Unfortunately meeting prereqs means 6 subjects next sem.

Once a masochist, always a masochist.

As for the MD interview, pretty much every chancellor was able to successfully pass the interview (even though they felt as if they screwed up) and receive their first clinical zone preference. You're not competing against the GEMSAS pool so as long as you articulate your reasoning, and talk about your own experiences for the personal stations, you should have no problem. Apparently only one chancellor did not pass for our intake.

Because you'll be doing the MMI with older applicants they do expect you to show more maturity and what not. Just don't say anything really controversial or outrageous (eg going on a diatribe against vaccinations, that's how controversial you would have to be)

There is literally 0 chemistry involved. There are reviews on the subject.
