well with the thread title "the end" I was expecting you were going to announce that you were going to drop out of uni and become a plumber or something, so I'm gonna go with drop out.

Choose biomed, the second year core subjects are the best things the uni has to offer

Seeing as your still undecided I'd go with science. It'll leave you with a much broader career spectrum than Biomedicine will.

But on the other hand, The structured course of Biomedicine will probably help you as it seems you find decision making quite difficult ;D

Good decision :)

And you can always transfer if you don't end up liking it.

That's what I like to hear :D

btw I'm doing some holiday reading of the textbook "Life". Can I just skip the photosynthesis and plant stuff?

Yes. If you did VCE biology in 2010 you can skip the entire textbook.

Oh ok. I did vce bio (got 48).
Can you recommend some other reading to do instead? Organic chem text maybe? I just want to start the course already :)

Edit: I'm doing stats in semester 1 and calc 2 in semester 2, otherwise I'd start doing some maths now.

If you got 48 then you won't have any problems. The extra stuff is predominantly rote, like taxonomic categories and a disgraceful amount of porifera/nematode/etc. names to learn

If you want to do some ochem, I hated McMurry and Zumdahl (although other people love them) and used Schaum's Outlines, which was really good. I've also heard good things about organic chemistry as a second language, if you can track it down.

Just learn stereochemistry perfectly and the mechanisms of those stupid nucleophilic attack etc. reactions
