Hi all, very sorry I don't know if I should post this here but uhhhhh... I'm currently a high school student in Auckland, i was considering Australian Med schools recently due to their "prestigious" and "higher rankings"......but after some researches in the past few days, my mind has changed a little bit, as apparently that NZ students won't be guaranteed a job in Australia and also the ranking doesn't differ too much...
My backup plan was to study Dentistry at Otago, but I've heard it's super super competitive..... I'm not sure if this makes any sense but I feel like if you don't do well in high school, it kind of tells you that you shouldn't be going for such a competitive pathway.... especially when there's only like 50-60ish places...
My grades are sitting on 3 A stars and 1A in AS, 1 B in IG English. I didn't do IG English back in year 11 instead I chose to do NCEA and then due to some personal reasons I swapped to IG English in year 12... it's a real struggle for me to understand all those Shakespeare's and stuff and I assume that's the major reason why I'm getting B and C in English...
My predicated grade for A level is 3 A* in bio math and physics, 1 A in Chem and 1 C in AS English and I converted to Atar using a "guidebook" from online, it was sitting on 99.90 so I reckon maybe I have a chance of getting into Melb/UNSW. I am really keen to go to otago and study there for dentistry but at the same time i'm uncertain about my ability of getting in... so which one do I stand a better chance of getting in? Otago for dentistry or Australian med school ( UNSW, Melbs, not monash tho since my English grade won't even meet their minimum requirements lol... )
Sorry for typing so much and I don't even know if I'm posting at the right section , but yeah. would be great if someone replies to me and show me their opinions. Thanks
