Can anyone help me out with my Science/(possibly Med) pathway? ANAT20006 quota?

[tomash95]

I'm a first year Science kid and I'm currently struggling to decide what to do second/third year. Initially I wanted to go on the Medicinal Chemistry pathway, but I found it to be extremely limiting and loaded with subjects that prevented me from creating a back up I liked. I talked to my mate, and he's decided to get into try and get into Medicine, and since the subjects are pretty broad he has a few alternate majors he can take if he doesn't get in. Having a backup is something I want, and I'm not completely turned off doing medicine, so I thought I'd give it a try.

However ... well, my marks aren't that stellar. My first semester average was actually an okay 72, but I slacked off second semester and was met with a few problems that brought down my year average to a 67.5 (long story short, failed Linear Algebra).

How likely am I to get into ANAT20006 in either first or second semester? I'm taking Chemistry 2 this summer holiday and I'm determined to get a ridiculously high score to make up for me slacking off. I noticed, though, that first round offers come out before the summer course ends, so I guess they can't look at my score for it. Is it true that it's easier to get into Semester 2? If I do well in next year's semester 1, do they consider those scores for second semester anatomy?

Thanks for anyone who can help out! I intend to go ask the SSC on Monday (I went today, but 5 hours ago I wanted to do Chemistry) to ask them a few questions, but I was hoping someone here could give me an idea of what my options are.

67.5 would probably get you in first semester. If you miss out you can apply for second semester and yes they will take into account your second year marks thus far

I got a spot into Anatomy second year first semester with similar marks so you should be fine unless there's more people wanting to do it nowadays.
