I've received 9CP of the 12CP math requirement, didn't get anatomy credit sadly (and I do not have the patience to study that again, so picked BIOL1006 instead of Human Biol), and I got chemistry credit. Second year is all Med Sci specific courses, and I can't do 2000-level units until I've done...

Feeling pretty good with this (except the Monday morning ><), managed to move everything out of Wednesday and got a decently compact schedule for the week.

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Yeah, I literally did not know what my ATAR was, let alone that it was somewhere in the nineties (no HSC). Once I got MedSci USYD in Round 1 I realized it had to be high, so I started applying for the ultimate course (Eng/Sci at either USYD or UNSW) and missed...

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Sadly I'm getting barely anything in terms of credit at both. At most a semester but then I have to balance that with remaining FT which would mean repeating some anyway.

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Racking my brain between MedSci at UNSW vs USYD. Anyone wanna share their thoughts of the MedSci program at UNSW before I pull the trigger on one?

As long as you're happy with your free hours etc. you'll be fine. Either way, it's partly-generated by the system anyway taking into account your choices, so there's a chance you won't get your drafted timetable anyway. Source: Been at uni for far too long at this point with terrible...

You can try and ring but I reckon it'd probably be in vain. You can always try for another course at UNSW in Round 2 with a lower ATAR (or just stick with another uni) and do a transfer?

Exactly what I thought when the offers came out, still miffed about it, especially when USYD Eng/MedSci still has vacancies for Round 2! :S

Well I was hoping for Eng (Hons) + Med Sci at USYD, ended up getting Med Sci at UNSW instead Feb Round 1. Going to try for Eng in Round 2 as there's still vacancies. In the meantime...MedSci at USYD (currently enrolled) or UNSW (offered). Hmmmmm.....

Yeah I'm with you. Plus there's the whole question of the technology and mess-ups etc. Feels a lot more safe in a lot of ways to print a damn card. Yes you definitely get an email with dates when you can pick up your student card after the photo is approved. Someone else on BOS was...

I submitted photo early-mid January and got my card this past Friday. As I understand it USU is tightening up to make sure as many students as possible get on the smartphone ACCESS card this year.

If the aptitude test is the same as when I did it (two years ago+) it's very much logic and number problem and reading comprehension based. It's more psychometric-based than you might be expecting, particularly within the first section. I was never told my result but was the first out and felt...

(Uni external transfer student here) Early Offer: B Sc / BA at Usyd Main Round: BMedSci at Usyd Have shuffled stuff around to maybe get another offer in Feb Round 1 but if it's not what I'm after then I'm likely sticking to BMedSci -- which I'm happy with one way or another.

Would definitely recommend some stats as those skills become very useful, particularly in science/psych. I'd imagine pharmacology would use stats extensively too. Come from a non-maths background (heck I'm doing MATH1111 this year) and did fine in two different stats classes in my old degree (D...

Thanks for that, makes sense! :) Looking forward to starting at USYD, was always my childhood dream uni, so really excited to start, even if it means another ~4 years in uni. :P
