How much will full fee med at melb cost?

Why bother raising the point, actually?
I know this will sound cynical, but both the umat and TER systems are pretty flawed when it comes to selecting the 'best' doctors(however you define that); at most I suppose they can select a smarter cohort. So why not throw in financial circumstances into the mix, its not like this is a case where if you remove full-fee places, suddenly all med students will become awesomesauce.
After all, the issue of who is more 'deserving' to study medicine is based mainly on the individual's level of passion, which unfortunately is a quality that cannot be 100% accurately assessed.

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.

I agree with BA22, australia offers the best opportunity to do MED. In asian countries (where the population is way bigger and seats are same as in australia) the competition is like a billion times harder.
Atleast australia offers rural and bonded schemes plus flexible post grad options

I agree, a least in Australia it's fairer. In some countries, also, children of diplomatic personnel are given the highest priority for entry. It's absolutely unfair to those who actually got the marks to do their course. This, unfortunately, tends to happen in Sri Lanka.
