Med and Dent - 2019 Entry (Offers)

Hi All, I would appreciate if I can have some opinions on choosing a university between UQ (7 years) and UTas (5 years) and UAdel (6 years) from the course duration and professional qualification perspective. What would be the significance of course duration in terms of obtaining professional recognition, qualification, advancing into specialist at the later stage of study ? (leaving all financial related aspects such as HECS-HELP loan, earlier income, interstate moving, etc.. out of the equation).
Happy New Year to all !

Hello, not really weighing in as I agree with Crow and A1, but just checking if you already have a UTAS offer so I can add you to The List. Thank you!
 
Does UTas offer more interstates this year? Something changed? From memory, UTas only offers 5 or so to interstate school leavers.

Yes, much, much, much more. We have no idea why.
Maybe because interstate non-standards are no longer a thing so theyve upped their quota on interstate yr 12's...? Even though there were hardly any interstates either way beforehand... they're all over the place when it comes to offers for MBBS

Non-standards, in general (not just interstate) are no longer a thing. But there were only 4 or 5 of us in my year (2018 intake) anyway, so between the increase in BMedRes guaranteed entry intake and the hugely increased interstate school leaver offers, they certainly seem to be catering for more than just 5 places, so who knows!!
