Yeah that link. There's really not much there but it's interesting to look at the text list and work out how much debt I'll need to go into :S

only just saw this..

but surely you can just use libraries/download ebooks of these off internet!

[Russ]

I hate using ebooks, they're hard to read and study from. Plus I disapprove of downloading textbooks.

And the textbooks are all on overnight loan (24 hours) so you'll be fighting to get them from the Brownless

ah okay i see that's annoying then.
well i guess you will have to buy then
i probably will end up buying too, since i'd prefer hardcopy and not having to rely on library.. but thats many years away!

[Russ]

Don't worry, you'll get set plenty of textbooks next year

You aren't in it with your scores? Wah?

The Selection Committee will shortlist applicants for interview on the basis of their performance in previous studies (GPA) and their results in the GAMSAT or MCAT. The shortlist will be 125% of the final number of students to be selected.

    * The Grade Point Average (GPA) will be measured by considering the last 3 years of the applicant’s undergraduate coursework studies (including Honours).
    * Weightings will be applied according to the approved Melbourne Adjusted Grade Point Average (MAGPA) calculations in force in any given year, or in the absence of any defined MAGPA, by weighting the first of the final three years by 1, the second year by 2 and the final year by 3.

It is indeed the 125% rule

^^
Guaranteed pathway still requires a certain WAM and a pass in the interview

Oh and on the topic of ebooks, if you buy the texts you usually get a studentconsult.com code to redeem there with extra content/digital copy etc (it's their way of cutting down the second hand textbook market)

haha - as Russ said, I need to maintain a 75% GPA and convince them I can speak English well enough to cope in a med degree...hopefully worth all the work!
