All i'm doing is not talking to anyone about my interview, otherwise i will get crazy comparing answers and knowing what i could've done better!
Regarding plan B, can we still go for the graduate entry if we don't continue with a BSc? And is there any special requirement if we do that?

Yeah bro, I know someone who did a history degree and got in as a graduate, so you could just do engineering and apply as a graduate if your still keen by then.

lol, thats exactly what i'm gonna do, prolly chemical or civil engineering, so that even if you dont get in as a graduate u still got a strong degree. Dont wanna do a BSc coz of job prospects, but hey, guess we'll all find out our futures in a week :cry:

Will you apply for second year?
 
Guess that's a good idea, though i think if i don't get in i will just go on with Bsc. Mainly because it will only take 2 more years whereas other degrees will need at least 3 more years, then if doing med again it'd be a solid 10 years. Pretty scary the sound of it, but yeah you're right it's too early to discuss these before the results even come out. It's one hell of a week!

Can you though? I thought we need to take extra papers or something

Well a few friends from school got straight into 2nd year eng from school, so i'm assuming 1st year uni students could do the same with good marks? Lets just hope and pray for the best Wednesday ever next week! ^_^

yea you can. unfortunately the application deadline for engineering was 8 december, and yes you do have to take more papers but theres no way in hell i'd want to do an extra year just to ease the workload, might as well get things over with
 
if you go into 2nd yr biomedical engineering you can cross credit your medsci142 and biosci107 i believe. I think physics is also credited but i'm not sure.

or if you have really good grades from high school and obviously this yr you can probably get into any other 2nd yr specialisation straight (called accelerated pathway) but it's basically cramming the 4 yrs course into 3, u'd be taking 5 papers a semester and doing extras in summer school to make up for the lost yr...
 
Not interested ae.

Will they come out early tomorrow? I've heard 4pm and I finish work at 2pm but if they do come out early nDeva is blocked from work for me, stupid websense.
