Which science should I choose?
Erstwhile:
Hey,
I want to pursue bio-medicine at Unimelb after highschool. I was kinda stuck on choosing a science so I just went with the one that I enjoyed more. I chose chem (I have to) + physics (I don't find bio as interesting). My friend who wants to follow the same career chose biology instead because he said that it had more priority when entering. Is this true? Note that I don't want to do biomedical engineering, I want to do surgery. Thanks in advance! ;D ;D

No doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but your friend is talking shit. Biology doesn't make it any easier to get into biomedicine at Monash or Melbourne as far as I'm aware.
Taking physics is not a bad idea. Certainly if you want to pursue surgery later in life and find physics more interesting than biology, as much as it pains me to say, it's probably the better choice for you.

Ah thanks! I feel relieved because my friend has been deadass roasting me that he would have a better chance of getting into med.
A TART:
My teachers said they would rather you do Physics than Bio even though it's is nearly irrelavent to biomed (I guess radiation has some link?). I duuno why tho.

As long as you do the subject prerequisite and get a good enough ATAR, whether you did biology or physics is completely irrelevant to gaining entry into the course. Obviously biology is more relevant to the actual content of the course, but plenty of people doing biomed haven't done it and I imagine it's not too difficult to learn from scratch.
