Huh, that's quite high. I guess finding out the 10th/90th is also pretty important then, but I guess they haven't published any other information?

Also, Monash Parkville offers a graduate pathway into Pharmacy, where if you get in, you do a bridging course and then do Year 3 and Year 4 of the Pharmacy program. Basically, it'll only take 2 years to finish the degree.

You still graduate with the Bachelor of Pharmacy so it's still an undergraduate degree.

Also do I require UMAT? If I do UMAT am I required to do GAMSAT as well or no?

Nope No UMAT or GAMSAT, just a 70%WAM in your previous degree

I should also add that the data from GEMSAS was for the 2013 application cycle, and last year it seemed as if the interview cut offs increased again. Will be waiting for last year's means to come out.

oh, because I am in year 12 this year so this course doesn't require UMAT? I'm confused

When do you guys think it's wise to really sit down and practice/study for the GAMSAT?!

If you're in year 12, for the Bachelor of Pharmacy at Monash parkville, no you don't require the UMAT anymore, you can get into the course straight away.

For example, I wanted to do a course on dietitian is that consider as medicine or no?

[MelonBar]

Dietetics is a separate course to medicine so I would say no
