Mavisgibbons considers life options part IV: the (anti)climax.

[simpak]

BEE TEE DUBS what is the chance of my transfer failing considering my course is like, 95 ENTER and Science is what?  89? and I have a straight H1 average, weighted at 86%?
And I have done all VCE Re-reqs.

In fact, while we're on that...

For things like Chemistry, with 'Year 12 Chemistry' required, because I am NY12 DOES MY YEAR 12 CHEM STOP COUNTING?

In fact, while we're on THAT...

Do the majority of non physics/chem/maths related majors with pre-requisites pretty much just require Biol and Chem first year?

Physio and anatomy majors need 2 semesters of Biol. If you are after health science majors or want to complete the MD pre-reqs, you need 2xBiol and 2xChem

Why thank you!  I was probably just going to do Biolx2 Chemx2 anyway, so this suits me.
Avoid Calculus/Physics yay.

Okay so, lawl, apps in tomorrow.
Still doing a biomed v. sci toss up for first pref.
While sci is generally more open I can do the whole psych path from Arts course, and can't do the biomed path so easily...
ANY LAST MINUTE HELP

This is probably useless but remember that in biomed is tailored towards humans. subjects such as chem and bio will be more human orientated than they in regular science, where I am told you study things such as plants in biology.  also the physics isn't as heavily related to radiotherapy and medicinal treatment.  however I have been told physics for biomed exams are hard and the course is taught at a frenetic pace.

everyone says that if you are unsure of what you want to do in future then science is better, but if you are set on some form of medicine, dent, physio etc, then biomed is the way to go.

ATTN: I am going to Melbourne to get an academic transcript and give it to VTAC, does this qualify as 'entire academic record including GPA'? We don't get a GPA.  I AM APPLYING TO THE SAME INSTITUTION this is so stupid it pisses me off.

[Russ]

What do you mean we don't get a GPA?

[simpak]

As in a proper one on a scale of 1-7ish. Is ours just like, average at the bottom of a transcript.

[iwakura]

this is in reference to half of page one since i cant really be bothered reading the other 5 pages...

become julian assanges lover and go into the business of wikileaks and be hated by every government but freedom of speech is also good too and and and and people will love you and donate money to you if you get locked up as well! the prospects

[simpak]

Okay guys I applied.

[Russ]

Hooray. For biomed or science?

[simpak]

Biomed = 1, Sci = 2 but I might change it.  I have till Monday, right?

[simpak]

So I didn't change my preferences in the end, which I'm pleased with but I have a question for future reference as a just-in-case backup plan.
When my friend, last year, was tossing up between Arts at Latrobe and Arts at Melbourne, she put Latrobe first, but soon after decided she would rather Melbourne.  Unfortunately, pref. change was closed.
So she had to do some crazy process to try and get an offer for her second preference despite being offered her first.
And she ended up getting said offer?
But I don't know what this process is, anyone care to help me out?

[Russ]

You'll get your first preference, relax

[simpak]

No I mean if I decide my first preference is actually my second preference!  Haha.  But it's okay, irregular offer, I remember now.

[simpak]

I drew a diagram in the hopes it would help you answer a question for me, oh lovely people.

Okay so this is a complete theoretical back-up-plan-what-if.
If I decided I did in fact want to do clin neuropsych after I had already transferred to biomed, WOULD I HAVE TO BE TRAPPED?
That is, is this pathway possible, if worst came to worst and I thought I had made a mistake transferring in the first place?




From first year BA, to first year BBmed, to SECOND year BSci.

[rustic_metal]

So confused, lol. Worst comes to worst, wouldn't you just take an extra year and not worry about all that stuff?
