VTAC OFFERS (Class of 2009)

Well, my predictions for 2010:

Biomedicine 98.50
La Trobe Dent 99.50

Biomed could go up to 98.50 - 99.00, but if it went past 99, then you would be stupid not to the MBBS at Monash (if you had the UMAT score for it).

yeah but there's not a huge number of people who 99+ and high enough umat- and the interview is most important anyway. besides theres much, much less places in MBBS at monash then biomed melbourne.
i agree that if you do get an offer, it's stupid not to accept it if you are really keen on med and fully set on doing it, rather with uncertainty its better to go through grad.

it'd be doubtful that biomed would go up anymore because entry into 2010 and 2011 are exactly the same.
so biomed will probably not get much higher than 98.

Yeah but a good ENTER and a good UMAT doesn't = MBBS offer

yep. getting 99.95 and 100%ile in umat is worth nothing if you can't talk even look in the interviewer's eyes.
(with that said, getting these scores is incredible/amazing/unimaginable and you'd probably get an offer if you had satisfactory communication skills :\ )

MBBS at Monash
(csp unbonded, 96 umat, 99.

^rhjc - that's actually incredible, i'm so overly jealous.................

-congrats rohan:D

I'm not sure if this is true but someone told me that this is the last year of undergraduate intake for medicine students at Monash university. After that it changes to post graduate. Therefore, biomed could go even higher at Melb uni.

That can't be true ... I have heard that they are adopting a new interview style next year. Why would they do that if they are not going to use interviews for undergraduate medicine selection?

[superflya]

^^ yea i also heard something about next year being the last year for undergrad med at monash. if so biomed should hit 99.

that's so silly guys.
there's no way med  undergrad at monash will close, especially since the undergrad melb was closed, now monash hogs the best.
the only different thing is the new interview style as rhyc said and its now MMI (same as grad med at melb)

[superflya]

lol i got no idea, a relative in her 4th year doing mbbs heard about it.

hmm scaryyy thought
but no it won't happen - atleast not for a few years !

[superflya]

hope it doesnt imagine how bad it would to get 99 and only be able to do biomed lol

well biomed is ~98, so getting 99 there's only a few high degrees possible, plus there's scholarships availabe for 99+ and melbourne guaranteed entry for graduates. besides, getting 99 doesn't guarantee you at all for med, most people who get 99 can't get into med.. (for many obvious reasons)...

Biomed at Melbourne here (:

At Monash's open day this year they mentioned a new interview format as was brought up.  I don't think they can remove their undergrad program for awhile though, the current grad program has so many fewer places.  Unless they offered it at Clayton.  No objections to that!

[spizaa #5]

biomed/law @ monash for me bit too far though :S anybody know if/how i can transfer to melbourne law after 2 or 3 years?
