Doctor of Medicine though BScience

Other universities have MMI as well...

The preference system is as follows; you list your top six universities and the places you will consider for each university (CSP/BMP/FFP/MRBS). The system assumes that you want your second preference less than your first preference and will thus accept ANY type of place at whichever university is #1 on the list. If you don't want an FFP, don't tick it.

On the Pagingdr spreadsheet there was an offer from ANU with the side note: upgraded from BMP, with a 59 gamsat too, how exactly does this work, does ANU allow you to keep reapplying for CSP even after you have commenced the course?

[Russ]

Some universities will shift BMP students into any CSP places that free up over the length of the course. ANU might do this. UoM definitely don't.

It might also mean that he/she was offered a BMP and then received a CSP after people withdrew/declined places

Is this also exclusive to ANU?

Apparently it's using Z scores, so it's your position relative to everyone else I guess.

Hey just be really careful with your first year points and stuff.
You can end up in the super bad position I am, and I'm alright in that I can remove subjects I just credited from Arts but since all your Science subjects will have been taken in your actual degree you can't take them off.  I tried, with Physics, so I can make up the 12.5 points extra I need.

SO CHOOSE WISELY.  If you don't /need/ Calc 2, I wouldn't be taking it.  I wish I could have taken physics without crediting it or at least taken it off.  But the fact that I have to remove old subjects means I have to decide before mid-semish time whether I want to major in Psych or not.  If I take off the subjects, I won't be able to start recrediting them later because I will have already filled 300 points.

Ahh yeah I forgot about that mavis :S So if I finish calc 2 I can't take its credit points away? I think I need to have a session at EPSC. :S

No, it's standard practice, but the number of people withdrawing or declining offers is typically very small.

You cannot take them away >: Only points not undertaken while enrolled in this degree, of which I believe you probably have none, like a normal person.

Could try overload a semester, maybe during summer (breadth subject), which satisfies your breadth requirement. Might be worth a read.

[simpak]

But it's not a matter of overload - I've tried and failed on this issue.  The matter is that you will have /too many points/ OVERALL - you're simply not allowed to take the extra subject unless you're granted overenrollment (which is different to overloading) and the EPSC doesn't like giving it out to you.  You cannot do >300 points.  I am not allowed to do >300 points (an extra subject) even though I take three subjects each semester. 

So basically, you could take these subjects and then end up not being able to remove them later.
This could result in a pickle - can't take more subjects, can't remove old ones.  And you'll only run out of points in third year, which means you might have to remove important prereqs, major creds etc.  Nobody will stop the overenrollment until its too late unless you try and fill in your entire study plan now.

To reiterate - if you decide to take first year biology, both subjects, that is 25 points.
You will have 125 points of first year, the maximum.
It follows that you can no longer complete 200 points of 2/3yr.  You can only do 175.
So that 25 needs to be deducted somewhere, it doesn't really matter where, as long as you do 62.5 second year points and 75 third year points.
