ANU Medicine Via BHealthSci and PhB

[naian616]

for the written application, is that for the actual bachelor of health science program or something you do to get into the medical program?

I believe both - for the bachelor of health science you have to answer five questions (you can find them here https://www.anu.edu.au/files/guidance/Bachelor of Health Science Supplementary Form Questions_v2.pdf ), and when applying for med through this stream you have to submit a personal statement.

Hi,
I received an offer to study at ANU Bachelor of Health Science and I was wondering how intense the program is and how competitive the entire course is. I can't really see too many reviews on what the course is like, so I would appreciate anyone's thoughts.

Thanks!!!

While I can't comment on the intensity of the degree itself, I do want to point out that the cohort is more than likely going to be very competitive. I don't see a reason why people would choose a Bachelor of Health Science other than trying to get into medicine.

Hey melody11
If you don't mind, could you send your answers to the supplementary questions for the ANU Bachelor of Health Science course. Just want to see how you structured it and use it as a sample/guide answer. My email is [email protected]

Can you help pls? The application closes next week. I don't know how to ping you or get in touch. Thanks melody11

Same here - early entry recipient, so am also curious to hear from someone in the course. I am wondering whether it's more likely we'll find someone on pagingdr bc they'll be applying post grad?

I'll try making a post there asking the same questions

hey Scoobert would you be able to help with the ANU BHealthSci application? I just need help answering one question

Hi, I got offered the anu health science. If I have the backup career plan of going into law post grad and taking some law electives as a way to set that foundation, would this degree be better when compared to other most biomedicine/health science degrees considering it will give me much higher chances with 20 places out of 60 as opposed to any other degree.

Sorry this is late but I have some information on this course as I know someone studying it.

In second year, they interview everyone in the course for medicine as a courtesy and offers are made at the end of that year. My friend said that it is an incredibly competitive course as almost all 60 of the students studying the course would like a spot at ANU Med and sometimes the gpa differences between someone who was offered and wasn't offered a spot are small (especially given the fact that the GAMSAT is not a requirement for students taking this pathway). Due to the competitive nature (My friend didn't want to put all his eggs in one basket), he ended up prepping for and sitting the GAMSAT, even though for ANU he didn't need it.

I would argue it's about the same as any other biomed degree offered by universities to encourage you to do med with them.

Hi, Just wondering if someone accepted an offer of Bachelor of Health Science at ANU , would that affect their UAC other uni's applications like CSU/WSU;JMP ..etc or not?

If the offer from ANU is a result of a direct application (meaning through ANU and not UAC etc.) with ANU, then no. It will have no affect with your applications elsewhere.
