On QTAC for choosing our preferences, when I search up the medical program at Bond University, there are 2 options (the May and September intake), but both fall under the same category. Do we only need to choose the May one or do we need to include both options in?

Oh yea the first one is for the May intake and the second one is for the September intake. So it depends on which month you are applying for. Check the dates on the right hand side.

Hi! is it possible for you to privately message me so i can ask you a couple of questions regarding the bond mmi?
 
heyy guys hope everyone is not feeling too stressed about the upcoming weeks ! I'm a current 3rd year and I've been through the exact situation so if anyone is in need of some guidance, has any questions or just needs some support haha feel free to chuck me a message or post on here x Best of luck guys!!
 
Hello everyone!


I can't seem to locate an answer to my question, therefore I'm hoping you will help me.


I have graduated with a 95.5 percent Selection Rank on my previous bachelor's degree, but I've been studying for another degree and am now in my third year with a 99 percent Selection Rank on my current degree.


I applied for an Undergrad bond course, however due to past tertiary study, my status was changed to 'Not Satisfied.'


When I called QTAC, he explained that it was because I had already completed other tertiary studies.


I'm curious whether this has happened to anyone else, such as being refused for Undergrad course due to your tertiary studies?

If so, do you know what I should do next? Will I be considered for the interview or Psy Test invite?

Thanks!

*EDIT: Sorry! What I meant was Selection Rank!!

You would not be considered an undergraduate applicant for Bond medicine as you have a completed degree. You would be considered a graduate applicant. You should be eligible for consideration for psychometric testing on this basis: Medical Program* Admissions Criteria

I finished 1 yr FTE study, but I entered that in the tertiary studies section on QTAC and mine says pending, so not sure what's going on. Maybe give them a call again and ask what to do? Good luck!

EDIT: misread the fact that you have completed a bachelor's degree. As LMG said, you need to apply as postgrad

Does anyone know if putting my Bond Uni preference second (after JCU as I am hoping for a second round offer) will jeopardise my chances of getting a university offer/offer for the psychometric testing?
TIA

Just got an update that Bond has to be first preference by close of applications or latest by 2 Feb, and that we have to choose both intakes to be considered for both.
 
Hi guys so I tried to change my QTAC preferences to put JCU 3rd behind 2 Bond intakes (I'm a NSW student still awaiting my round 1 from JCU - I just got my atar today) but QTAC isn't letting me as they are "currently processing offers". As offers come out 28th and the deadline for Bond in 27th, I'm not sure what to do. Is this happening for anyone else?

I think QTAC has another offer round tomorrow, you should be able to change it after that

Bond is recommending that we select both intakes

Hi, I heard from a friend who has a friend who says he has a Bond Med Interview this week. That lucky guy enrolled in a post-grad diploma at Bond last semester and apparently this has a "direct route" to Med. Anyone know of this?

Hey, there's a pathway program (found on Bond med website) via a post grad dip in healthcare innovations but you need to have completed a bachelor in biomed before.
 
The Graduate Diploma in Healthcare Innovations offers a pathway into Bond’s Medical Program for domestic and international students. Students eligible to graduate from the Graduate Diploma in Healthcare Innovations who completed a Bachelor of Biomedical Science prior to their Healthcare Innovations award and meet the minimum required GPA of distinction average may be eligible to be considered for selection to enter Year 2 of the Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMedSt).

hey guys i was wondering whether someone could answer these questions:

1. i didnt get a 1st round offer for JCU and i know chances of me getting a 2nd round offer are minimal, however, i want to keep it as my first preference still. since bond will only consider you if you put them as your first preference which i have to do by the 27th of jan, how do i do this when second round JCU offers come out 28th? will moving JCU to my 2nd and bond to 1st impact my JCU offer? i only have one free change of preferences yet!

2. will putting both the may and sept intake as 1st and 2nd preferences increase my chances at all or shall i just put one

3. should i call QTAC after i change my preferences to ask how i should provide supporting documents that i've completed my pre req? i'm an interstate high school leaver so shoudn't they already know my atar and subjects?

sorry if these have been asked before!!
Click to expand...

From my understanding, which may be wrong, so please double check with QTAC first!
if u put bond uni as ur first preference now a message will come up that says since ur preferences are not in order of offer round, u won't be considered for some preferences. When this happened to me last year they told me that I wasnt considered at all for Jcu because it was preference under Bond which has a different later offer round.
