Thanks for all the advice! Making a table is a pretty good idea, I definitely will do that to help me make a decision once my HSC exams finish (next Friday, finally!) I think I need to do a bit more research into non-MedSci/Allied Health courses so that I'll be able to make a more informed decision.Commerce or Com/Sci would be pretty fantastic, I'd say! Many and varied career options along those lines, particularly if the science is computer science/similar. Many have said that 1st-year commerce, in particular, is quite easy, but perhaps only if you enjoy the content. In my experience, Stage I Maths and Stats are pretty good for getting decent marks.
Best to document what you know right now . Make a table!
My main concern in regards to this, though, is that I may unintentionally choose a degree that is too humanities-based. I've always had more of an aptitude and interest in sciences/mathematics, and I personally prefer to study subjects that have an objective right/wrong rather than something that is more 'up for interpretation' (if that makes sense).
I'll definitely need to have a look into Engineering and Commerce, since they both seem to fall under the category of degrees that I may quite enjoy studying before I make it (hopefully!) to Med. If you're not a current school leaver/med student, what do you currently study and what do you think of it?
