Mmm, all the philo subjects ive looked at have exams(still not discouraging) the creative writing looks good (film scripts), Russ did you do 25% breadth or just the minimum?

I'd love to do creative writing and philosophy amongst other similar subject types. However, I'd be too afraid to ruin my GPA this way :( If only breadth didn't have to count for Medicine entry! Ah well..

Well you could find out you are actually good at it, and then it could aid your GPA. First year isn't weighted as much as others anyway if it doesn't work out.. I'm personally just not as willing to take a risk yet :P

Did 2 creative writing, one philosophy and one uni breadth (genetics and ethics). Probably going to do two more breadth this year, both about population health/control
Don't worry about your GPA when picking subjects, that's a great way to screw yourself over. Why should the advice "do what you enjoy" be any different at uni than at VCE?

How did you find creative writing? & How did the majority go - did it seem to most that it was difficult to get an HD - is it possible for an average writer to get this?
Unfortunately I will worry about GPA, since I'll try to transfer to UNSW after first year, so I really need perfect grades for this over the year to raise my ATAR to be competitive.
