    Malcolm Chaikain Scholarship

    I dont think I can provide much more information here but most scholarship recipients I know are at least 99 ATAR. I wouldn't say it reflects poorly or that it makes you look better. But bear in mind there are many applicants with amazing ATARs as well who are extremely well rounded. Based...

    Special Consideration!!!!!!!! urgent

    I'm pretty sure you can apply for special consideration (which has to be submitted generally within 3 days of the exam). Whether they accept it or not is a different story based on the 'severity of your illness'. I know students whose application got rejected (they had the general cold + an MC)...

    UNSW 2016 Offers - Actual ATAR Acceptance Stats

    Yeah, they do have a different pathway, it's like pre-med where they attend the program for 4 weeks- https://rcs.med.unsw.edu.au/indigenous-entry-medicine. I guess ATAR can be used as a 'benchmark'! Or alternatively they could be rural + have EAS I think. 2 of my rural friends in med have 92...

    Extracurricular activities needed for Medicine entry

    I think the UNSW Medicine application form is quite comprehensive and the areas where they ask you to elaborate on, are possible areas they would you to have experience in. They enjoyed asking me about leadership and teamwork in my interview, so possibly having experiences in those areas would...

    Paths into Australian Medicine - Flowchart

    Not sure where the condescending language or passive aggressiveness you were mentioning came from tbh. I was just clearing up misunderstandings as well, so future meddies can just select the best option for them and not be too confused from different personal sources. It was really confusing for...

    Paths into Australian Medicine - Flowchart

    Yep. I'm saying your score representation is a bit lower than what people got offered for interview thats all (: Also it could be useful to add in that people with EAS/ Access scheme in UNSW get significant consideration

    Paths into Australian Medicine - Flowchart

    Heads up that for Usyd, not all 99.95s get in. Think only 3/4 got in last year. Also for UNSW, your 'chart' seems a bit off :P I got 99.65 and 96 UMAT (around 66 if you divide by 3) for my year and was considered average if not slightly lower than ave in my course :blink2: Monash seems pretty...

    Is there a cap to the number of people allowed to get HD or D's in USyd/UNSW Science?

    Re: Is there a cap to the number of people allowed to get HD or D's in USyd/UNSW Scie They have no cap for Science in UNSW, but unlike law, there are quite a few who pass with distinction (if they choose the right subjects). Less people pass with HD.
