    GPA calculator on GEMSAS

    I think he had his GPA assessed by GEMSAS and hence is on the appropriate scale. A1 has his the nail on the head though, your biggest issue is the 2nd year, because you can never get rid of it regardless of whether you do an extra year. Your best bet is to CRUSH the GAMSAT or do another degree...

    GPA calculator on GEMSAS

    No school in Victoria would accept you with that score. You ideally need 71+ for UQ. You can do an honours year which will help as your final years are weighted higher than the earlier years.

    GPA calculator on GEMSAS

    Your GPA is either 5.22 or 5.30 depending on the uni you're applying to. 5.71 means your final year, not final GPA. If I'm being brutally honest, your only hopes in terms of GEMSAS are scoring a super high GAMSAT and applying for UQ (they don't care about GPA after meeting a threshold), UNDA...

    Not doing postgrad study in 10 years since first degree

    Just a bit of advice re: the 10 year rule. Make sure you do your due diligence and thoroughly read the GEMSAS guide, only SOME unis will except postgraduate study ie. Dip/Masters. It's very clearly stated for each uni in the guide, this should give you better guidance inregards to preferencing...

    Adelaide Tertiary Transfer to Medicine

    The TT pathway used to not really care about GPA, the year before I applied plenty of people made it in with around 5-5.5 GPA (granted they were all bonded). The year I applied I only knew of 6.8+ with high UMATs make it in (and I have a feeling they changed entry requirements without really...

    Ask the person below you

    I'm still early in my degree so probably not best to answer the questions lol. But I'm currently in pre-clin but on 6 months of GP placements at the moment alongside pre-clin. Hospital I'd like to get internship in... Any metro Sydney hospital probably, atm I'm liking Gastro so I guess I'd have...

    Rates of mental health issues in med students/physicians

    I'm only 6 months in to the degree but my advice is this: You should be very secure with yourself and your own abilities. One thing I've found about medicine is that it obviously attracts the crème de la crème from all walks of life and consequently the environment can get quite competitive and...

    UMelb If details on my application change after submission

    If you withdraw with no fail it SHOULD have no effect on your GPA, but you may still need to pay. I withdrew from a crappy subject in my undergrad too, still had to pay for it however it wasn't reflected in my GPA at all. I'm 99% sure it should be the same for an honours year, however e-mail...

    Studying Medicine from a Non-Science Background

    I agree with Mana in that a large proportion of the GAMSAT is 'test taking knowledge' rather than the actual scientific knowledge. For most questions in S3 the answers can be deduced from problem solving without really knowing much content wise. What I'd suggest is finding the Khan academy...

    Good sources for practice Q's?

    IMHO Des and the ACER practice papers are all you need. There are online versions of all Des' material floating around if you look hard enough.. :)

    GEMSAS QUESTION (AWARDED CREDITS)

    This is a very difficult situation to offer advice for because no one is aware of the inner workings of GEMSAS, and this is a very particular issue. I'd just contact GEMSAS and make them aware of the different names etc of the units and just hope for the best. They are generally quite...

    Year 11 and 12 Subject Selection

    Studies was Maths B right? Therefore general which used to be the old methods isn't B. You'd need to do methods for equivalency? Double check that though. I remember when I was in y12 our studies (your current methods) wasn't that much more difficult than methods (your general). Are you...

    Year 11 and 12 Subject Selection

    If you're not great at Maths and you're aware of the Universities you're excluding yourself from then it's probably in your best interest to do another subject. I have a feeling Psychology is one of those weaker scaling subjects too. As far as English lit goes, you'll need to ask either @MD...

    Year 11 and 12 Subject Selection

    If you're doing English comms you better be at the top or near to the top of your class or it scales quite poorly if you get bellow a 19-20 (I assume it's an A+ in the new system). Same with general maths. For these reasons I'd reccomend English Studies and Maths Studies (I think this has been...

    A competitive GAMSAT score

    You have some strong scores and I wouldn't discount my chances right away at other universities. An MD is an MD at the end of the day. Good luck!

    A competitive GAMSAT score

    Depends on the GAMSAT but ideally 6.7+ and a high GAMSAT (high 60's or low 70's) Melbourne is the most academically difficult uni to gain entrance to, by far.

    A competitive GAMSAT score

    Unless you have some bonuses for Melbourne your chances aren't looking good. You have a shot at Deakin though and should get an interview, it's become really competitive though due to Monash pulling out of the consortium. Guy in my cohort gave an anecdotal recount of students at his Melbourne...

    10 Things I (Wanna Know) About You

    1. Med/Dent specialty of your dreams? I change my mind literally every day so I couldn't say... 2. Who would you team up with for The Amazing Race and how would you fare? Joe Rogan, because he would have the knowledge and he's Joe Rogan so it's like a living podcast. 3. If you could only...
