Biology or Physics?

I'm pretty sure they don't have a bridging course for Biology. My friend who didn't do Bio in year 12 had to go straight to "650-141 Biology of Cells and Organisms", which is a first year biology subject. I know they have a bridging course for physics and chemistry so that's no problem.

I'm not too worried about uni subjects - I'm doing commerce, but I could do some science subjects for breadth (if DipMSc doesn't fit into the breadth sequence). I just mainly want to do more science subjects for fun...
Or just...
2011 (Y11)
Biology 3/4, Methods 3/4, English Language 1/2, Chemistry 1/2, General Maths (S) 1/2, Physics 1/2
2012 (Y12)
Specialist Maths 3/4, English Language 3/4, Chinese SL 3/4, Chemistry 3/4, Uni Maths (UMEP)
And physics in year 12 depending on the study scores I get in year 11.

Wait, so you're not doing Chinese in year 11? Are you learning outside of school?

In contrast to /0, I'd say that physics isn't the further maths of science - the exams are easy, but the cohort (IMO) is much stronger than the cohort taking biology or psychology. Physics doesn't involve much maths at VCE level though. Don't make a decision based on that.
Although I must concur - electromagnetism is pretty cool.

Yeah, main reason I want to do it is cos it sounds really awesome and I really enjoy all the sciences (mainly chem, biol, phys) :) Too hard to choose from all these awesome subjects, so I'm just going to take all 8 VCE subjects, maybe 9 LOL and see how it goes :D 3 maths, 3 sciences, 2 languages - a lot of variety ehh?

I like your enthusiasm. :)
