Okay guys, I have been thinking long and clear about this. :\
I want to study arts/medicine but I don't know which uni I would put up in first place on my UAC application forms. I know some people will be on here and say that it is much too early to think about UAC, and your concern is welcome but I think I should have a clear aim.
Going to UNSW (I'm lumping advantages and disadvantages together since I'm lazy and it's 1:25AM)
- Medicine and arts studied concurrently apart from the first year.
- The UAI needed is less than USYD, which requires 99.95.
- More people accepted into this course than at USYD.
- The application process takes into account UMAT results. This may hinder or improve my chances; I don't know.
- Travel seems like a real pain. Train to central, bus to uni.
Going to USYD
- You need to maintain 80+(average or WAM? But nontheless, quite a big number in uni terms) in arts to proceed onto medicine.
- You have to study arts in the first three years before moving onto medicine, which takes four years. Which I don't like the idea of since I just want to plunge into med straight away.
- It is bloody great in terms of travel; I wouldn't need to take buses to uni!
- I believe that by not doing arts and medicine concurrently, I would have more opportunities to explore my arts degree.
- You need 99.95 UAI, and the intake for 2008 (being twenty in all for all combined medicine courses at USYD) is, as I imagine, at the very most, five or six.
- Disregard for the UMAT exam.
- I'm going to be REALLY superficial here and say that being in the quad of USYD makes me feel like going into Hogwarts. lol
- $10 000 per annum scholarship, which sounds quite nice.
---
Does anybody know whether I can pursue another degree after I finish arts at USYD (hypothetically speaking of course), or am I to focus on finishing Medicine? Also, I will be applying for UWS also, which sounds like a really cool uni to go to. If anyone could shed light on this, that would be much appreciated.
Hopefully ssglain helps me out a tad. XD (or lots).
