    Australian flag BANNED!!!

    IMHO, as long as ALL national flags are banned (not just Australia's) then fine by me. And I don't think the problem is with yobbos waving it and shouting "oi oi oi", its more the cultural clashes that may result from different groups using any flag as a rallying point. However, the...

    Special Studies Programs

    Hey, how strict are they on the maths requirement - i didn't do 4 unit, but got 95 in 2 unit and 94 in 3. I don't mind missing out on the maths TSP, could I still get into the Physics and Chem TSP programs?

    Individual and Society - Portrait of a Lady

    I actually think this is a good book for the course - you complain about its length but if you can get through it that's a positive - its means you have over 600 pages to find a relevant quote. As for paradigms, I'm doing the following: Economic - Satire of class Social - Marriage of Osmond...

    med sci unsw

    Well, here's my plan: Do the three year med sci course at UNSW, Sit GAMSAT and apply for USyd, UWollongong, and if you don't get in, 1 year of honours and go into 4th year of UNSW - just gives you one extra avenue so I'm going for it The only problem is - 4 years and no med course, what...

    scores vs percentiles 2006

    This is a mini-rant about UMAT I hate the UMAT scores - you got percentiles 241, score of 178 i had 254 and 176 - i know there's the whole bell curve thing but it just annoys me that the scores and percentiles can be so different :(

    UWS Medicine 2007

    I hope this answers your question: If your UMAT mark is above the cut-off (I think it would be similar to Newcastle, so 175-ish) then you will get an offer in the beginning of November to attend an interview in the beginning of December (the first week) Then, if your UAI is above 92, and...

    Bachelor Laws / Bachelor Science Question

    Hey guys, I was looking at the Syd Uni website, and they say you are awarded your BSci after just three years in their Bachelor Laws/Bachelor Science program. I was wondering, is such a thing possible at UTS - their "sample program" says you continue your BSci until the end of year 5, but...

    Is anyone doing a combined MBBS degree?

    I agree Kfunk - particularly with 2) - I'm not at uni yet, but would love to start the BA/MBBS because I think it would give you a break from medicine, which can be a pretty intense course. That was the thinking behind me taking Modern History over Extension 2 Maths, just gives you a broader...

    Hey all, I'm a sydneysider, interested in studying medicine, and I'm a little confused about the offer system. I thought UAC only gave you 1 each round, but I've heard of people being offered more than 1 and having to choose - Is medicine different in this way? Would I be right in saying...

    Catholic trials 2006. how r they?

    Our teacher hadn't done either of our pracs with us, we hadn't covered either of the last two questions in the core modules sheet and when using two valid equations for the projectile motion question I got different answers (21.07-21.22) But the paper did seem easier than the STANSW ones I...
