GAMSAT 2014 discussion thread
Hehetymen:
My combo will be about 1.59 for every other uni and 1.58 for Melb. If I get the 2% then it will be around 1.61 for Melb and 1.62 for Deakin.
Seeing as how it seems I'm most likely to get an interview for Deakin (note pretty sure I also qualify for Monash cos I'm doing Biomed) should I preference:
1. Deakin
2. Melb
3. Monash
So if I get an interview at Deakin but aren't good enough, I can get passed to Melb? Whereas if I had Melb first and got Deakin straight away then Melb isn't even an option. Don't mind CSP or BMP, would just rather stay in Vic tbh.

Just going to put it out there, but Deakin's clinical curriculum is terrible unless you're quite into Ortho or something. Instead of Med/Surg like most unis, they do Med/Surg/MSK. Furthermore, their Year 3 is a combination of Monash's (and UoM's?) first two clinical years, so it is VERY full on. Another thing to note is that to my knowledge, not all of their clinical students get to be in hospitals all the time either.
(source: my clinical site is shared with a handful of Deakin students, some of which wished they had chosen Monash or UoM instead)

You don't get 2% bonuses for UoM afaik.
Preference the university you want to go to first. If your GPA/GAMSAT was good enough to get you an interview at Deakin but not UoM, it is a very low percentage chance that you'll both be passed on from Deakin and be good enough to get a UoM spot. Far more likely, you'll get an offer from Deakin since it's your first preference.

Ahh right yeah I thought grad access added 2% but just reread it. Also considering honors to boost my GPA but not sure if I'll like honors.
simpak:
Honours won't boost your GPA for UoM anymore. By the time you apply you won't have done enough credit points to have it count towards your GPA whatsoever. And it's extremely stressful. Would not recommend doing Honours to boost anything, especially your ego.
