i want to pursue a career in medicine but if i don't make it into monash MBBS im not sure what to put next
@monash there is a Bachelor of Biomedical Science and Bachelor of Engineering... im thinking of this course because i am interested in engineering and would like to keep post grad medicine as an option... would this course allow me to satisfy the subject requirements of post grad med ?
or would a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Engineering be a better choice? would this course allow me to enter postgrad med?
the other option is to do Biomedicine @ melbourne but im worried about not getting a high enough GAMSAT score... (another reason why i am thinking of a double degree)

U will end up with 2 seperate degrees. Potentially u can still apply for postgrad med @ UoM if u pick the right prereq subjects to satisfy the requirements, so go ask a person from the biomed faculty if u have enuff space to satisfy the subject requirements for UoM. This is a good alternative because u still have eng as back up however if u do biomed @ UoM because of its variety of postgrad courses besides med if u dont get high enuff to get into med u can do one of the other ones. But if u like engineering then go for monash biomed/eng to keep your options open.

This sounds exactly like me lol, biomed/eng @ monash is my 1st prefrence... engineering but keeping open post grad med
If you do sci/eng, you can't fit in the extra 2nd year subjecs that are required for uom's MD. as the course structure already requires overloading, you can't afford to fit in more. I've asked this at monash open day, uom open day, as well as my schools careers night. biomed/eng has incorporated all the subjects necessary for MD prerequisites.
Keep in mind there is always deakin pgrad, monash pgrad as well that have NO prerequisites other than GPA and GAMSAT
I also don't want to do biomed @ uom, cos then if you can't get do good enough in GAMSAT, and im like you in that i dont wanna do research, stuck in the middle with a biomed degree...

thank you very much for that !!
so are you sure that biomed/eng is able to get me into MD? :) yayyyy

Yeah i'm like 99.95% sure, unless all the people i asked all lied to me and gave me the same answer :P
the only thing that im worried about doing biomed/eng is that... although prereqs are satisfied, eng is hard... thus your GPA won't be fantastic? and thats major deciding factor for acceptance into MD
