Monash MBBS Class of 2020!

[Splash-Tackle-Flail]

just following the others lol- should we make a Facebook page/group?

EDIT: never mind!

[pi]

Congrats on the offers all!

The official fb group run by the med soc is located here https://www.facebook.com/groups/MonashMed2020/

That's your best bet for getting answers to questions (I'm not in it), but you're free to ask questions here and I'll try and get back to you

So who's in for the ride?

edit: the med soc tends to take fb groups quite seriously (I'd argue too seriously...) so if you're not in med, really no point joining as they'll probably find your and kick you out

Congrats on your offer.
I should have met most of you already (the asian guy in the computer lab helping out with the SJT). Feel free to post any question here.

You're honestly better off joining the official MUMUS one that I linked above too They really hate excess fb accounts

[mtse]

Yeah....too late oops, we made the group an hour ago :/ and they only just made a post about it ten minutes ago....
Oh well we can disband the group once people find out about the official one, I made a post about it anyway

I have a bunch of other pages liked to keep me updated with medical news (NEJM, JAMA, etc.) but I don't think there's any need at this stage

Also worth getting in touch with some second years and organising a year 1/2 study group (some call it a "VESPA") ASAP, will really help you guys (and them for their VIA exam).

woo hype!

Any second years on AN??

Yeah I don't think many/any are active posters any more.

(I also made a few edits to my above post, can never like too many pages!)

Quick question about enrolling:
It says you have to enrol in the course units to be "properly" enrolled however it also says you must attend the course info day before you enrol in the course units. The cut off day for accepting the offer is Friday 22 Jan which is also the same day our course info day. So do I enrol in the semester 1 and 2 medicine units now? Or on Friday?

Thank you

[Splash-Tackle-Flail]

Adding onto mtse's post- since I'm overseas during the course info day what do I do for enrolling in semester units?

Enroll now I highly doubt there will be an attendance or anything taken on the info day, so you should be alright to fill it all in now

Safest thing to do is to call or email (good to have a response in writing!) the Faculty and tell them what's up. They should be understanding about it and tell you what is the best course of action (which I suspect would be to enroll in the units anyway)!

redacted

Bad luck mate! I know people that have got very late round offers (with similar stats to you), so chin up and keep it first pref just in case! It's also incredibly hard to gauge how interviews went for a whole host of reasons, wouldn't beat yourself up over it

Thanks Pi
Also one more question: we only have to confirm the units given to us right?  Currently it says Med1011 and Med1022. There's no electives etc I'm assuming...

Yup those are your only units, one for each semester! Things like DipLang or DipArts can come into play after first year, things like BMedSci can come into play after second year

You also won't have to make your timetable, you'll find it should be all auto-allocated for you.
