Monash Open Day - Sun 5th Aug! :D

[DisaFear]

Just a quick question before I head off. Two lectures I'd like to attend are the Science degrees for high-achieving students and the MBBS admissions presentations. However, one finishes at 2pm and the other starts at 2pm. How long does it take to walk from Building 25 to Building 7?

See, for normal Uni lectures, if a lecture says it will start at 2pm, that means it goes from 2:05pm-2:55pm. That's how it is
Let's hope it is the same for Open Day

That walk would probably take you 3-5 mins (based off how long it takes me from Blg 25 to Campus Centre, which is Blg10 on the map)

It takes me about 6 minutes to get from 25 to 8.

The MBBS information session was quite interesting today. I especially liked Ash's little discussion on why not to do medicine. I really feel inspired now. :3

Inspired to do medicine or not to do medicine?

Does anybody know how many places will be provided for the Monash Scholarship for Excellence? And minimum grades during uni if you want to keep the scholarship?

[Surgeon]

I saw on the power-point that there are several scholarships. One for 99.95ers, one for 99.90ers, one for 98+ers and one for 90+ers?

Can anyone shed any light on how that works, what the scholarships include and which courses they apply to?

Also, tried the famous peri chips. They were quite good but I think they're a little over-rated.

Monash Scholarships page has all the details

http://www.monash.edu.au/study/scholarships/

For the Monash Scholarship for Excellence: http://www.monash.edu.au/study/scholarships/sir-john/excellence/

For the few that Surgeon was talking about, I think:
http://www.monash.edu.au/study/scholarships/sir-john/exceptional/ - 99.95
http://www.monash.edu.au/study/scholarships/sir-john/outstanding/ - 99.90
http://www.monash.edu.au/study/scholarships/sir-john/excellence/ - 98+
http://www.monash.edu.au/study/scholarships/sir-john/leaders/index.html - 90+

There's also merit & equity ones too. Just explore the scholarships website yourself.

Not much freebies today Only a heap of pens, a water bottle and a t-shirt. Looks like Monash cut their fundings.

WHATTTT... T SHIRTS? I WANT SOME T SHIRTS! Were they like, the white monash t shirts?
To compensate, I had a nice blue student ambassador hoodie, so that makes up for it, I guess.
BTW, guys, like, do student ambassador if you can next year, you get 100 dollar vouchers for the coles myer group. BEST THING EVER TODAY.
