Probably not. Congrats on your score, but no, i dont think it's wise to be $250 000 in debt by the time you finish UNI.
This is what's wrong with the stupid Australian higher education system. The wealthy are allowed to enter Medical schools such as BOND UNI- with a significantly lower ENTER- just because they're 'rich'. Does being rich make you anymore competent at being a doctor/dentist? Further, is it fair that a person with a 99.XX misses out on medicine, because he/she are unable to pay of the MASSIVE fee for medicine?
I guess it's expected- given that Education is like the second biggest revenue maker in Australia.

It costs alot to run a medical course and in the US, a USD$250,000 debt to a non-government third-party is pretty much standard
We offer people a better chance to med than any other country in the world i would argue

Is it fair that a person misses out on a ferrari because they are unable to pay 200k+? It's not like banning Bond Uni from offering full-fee med degrees is going to make any difference to the person who couldn't get a CSP place.

I am not so sure about that given the very high ENTER scores required due to restriction on the number of medical places that universities can offer due to government quotas.

Question is still there to. Why are rich people, who can afford full-fee, allowed to get into med with a lower ENTER, while those who get 99.XX cant?

There's a university willing to offer a place, and there is student willing to pay the price. Why should their agreement not be allowed?
