Requirments for Medicine and what unis offer it/which are good etc???

<< < (3/6) > >>

QuantumJG:
I have a friend who is doing biomedicine and a friend who is doing optometry and they are both enjoying their courses. My friend who is doing optometry I think got a lower ENTER than Red_x_lily so I don't know why this person is delaying study. Even if they did biomedicine they would be well off with getting into a graduate medicine degree with Melbourne. With Melbourne uni most science and biomed students are wanting to get into postgraduate medicine so I can see why a lot of people are pessamistic about this option.

I could never consider myself studying medicine, I would go pale everytime my friend spoke about things that have happened.

I've looked into the graduate courses and further studies available at Melbourne, including medicine, and I would enjoy doing most of them :).
Medicine is many peoples dreams, mine too, but it may not happen for me. That's why I actually like the flexibility of Melbournes Model and how I can enter many fields if I complete a Bachelor of Biomedicine there.

That's pretty good - it's also good that you've considered all of this already. As for the UMAT, don't worry, you can definitely improve with practice - so make sure you do!

Maybe, but everyone has different reasons. I had my reasons for delaying study. It wasn't really about getting into any course I could only for the purpose of studying something.
(Coincidentally, I also have a friend in Optom right now who I tagged along to a few lectures with...can't see myself studying it.)

yeah... the UMAT seems like a large hurdle that if one can leap successfully, a number of other factors such as enter can become less important
and im not really keen on paying 1000 dollars for some preparation lectures, or are they really worth it? if not, what would you/or others reccommend?

Well yeh, it's not $1000, but it's still quite a lot of money. However, I'd say it's definitely worth it in the end if it gets you what you want to do because I can objectively say that it does actually help.

Greggler:
mmmm... yeah ive seen medentry and it costs a fair bit
on the other hand i know some one last year from my school who got an ENTER of 96, was never aiming for medicine and never thought he would get in and was always looking at biomed or science. however he aced the UMAT on pure awesomeness, he did not do one practice question for it lol, and he is now doing med
