ok, basically, i need to pick some subjects.
i've did BIOL1020, BIOL1040, CHEM1030, STAT1201 first sem;
CHEM1020, BIOM2011, BIOM2402 (which i am currently procrastinating for), MICR2000 this sem.
in retrospect, CHEM1030 was the most useless subject i've done of the 8, follwed closely by CHEM1020... it really is unfortunate that 1020 is a prereq for the biomed major...
essentially, i want to find some easy first year subjects i can do as fillers. my plan right now is:
sem 1: BIOL2200, BIOM3002, MATH1050, empty
sem 2: BIOM2012, BIOM2208, BIOM3015, empty
this fills all the prereqs required for the science component.
via a loophole, as a victorian, i am 99% sure i can do MATH1050 despite having done vce specialist maths.
for semester 1, people in the past have generally done either BIOM3401 (systems pharm) or BIOL3003 (ad immuno), and from what i've gotten from the numerous people i've talked to currently in med is that both these subjects go into too much detail and are virtually useless (first year med pharm is in less detail than BIOM2402 and the immuno from BIOM2011 and MICR2000 is really not any conceptually harder, just more content). as such, i've decided to do neither of them.
PSYC1020/1030 has come up, as has MATH1051 after doing MATH1050 (this will depend on how i feel about doing maths after the first semester), possibly MATE1000 if i feel adventurous and depending on how the people doing it this semester find it.
does anyone have any other suggestions?
- i was considering asking the science faculty if CHEE subjects were available since they're essentially a BIOL1020/MICR2000 bent set of subjects, just for engineers. except i didn't like BIOL1020 and despised MICR2000 with a passion i'd never thought i could ever muster in order to hate a subject so much, so... i'd just be doing it for ease
- CSSE1000, CSSE1001, INFS1200 - im no good with computers beyond a little step above the basic level.
- MATH1061... i can't handle too much sequences etc.
- BIOL2202. i HATE genetics.
- been told neuroanatomy is worth doing - i think ANAT3022? not sure. i would do it, but i think i want to relax a bit before going into med. the single most frequently recurring thing ive heard from twosie premeds is "enjoy these two years", and i plan to do so - though im not aiming to scrape pass by any means).
- any PHYS subject - haven't done physics at year 11/12 level
- BIOC2000 - it has been the recommendation by every single person who has done the subject, without exception, not to do the subject. it doesn't sound remotely appetising either.
ideally i would do ECON1010/1020 but the science faculty won't let me since it isn't under science

. And oh thanks Kizza, I really didn't want to do genetics. And oh Bob you are doing research too! What are you doing?
