Expect at least a 97+ TER and 90%+ UMAT to get into any australian unis for medicine.

http://www.medicine.unimelb.edu.au/future/ugradselect.html

This is a rough guide of what to expect for aussie unis.

there are 7 unis that offer undergrad med in aus..

melbourne: dont expect to get in unless you have ter 99.75 and above

unsw: a good cv will offer you an early round interview, ter should be 98 and above for international students (the quota is only 40!), and a good interview

utas: a good essay will offer you a conditional offer already (quota of 20 for international students), ter the higher the better! isat is needed.

monash: i dont know why i was not allowed to apply to monash aus when i was in taylors >.<

adelaide: pqa test is important!

uwa: high isat score..at least 80 plus..

another uni i forgot lol..

newcastle?

newcastle.........and a couple of lesser known/new ones.......

bond and jcu

aiks..yah newcastle..

from malaysia, they only take in abt 20-30 students? 10 are selected from taylors and the remaining are reserved for mara students..

as for the 10..interview is very very important..from what i see, they like kids who can speak english well (especially when english is the first language at home)..

Wow, even JCU has a Medical faculty now?

I think these new universities are probably the only way one can get into a MBBS program through the undergrad pathway. Even Griffith is Post-grad!

FYI, monash malaysia is MBBS is not recognised in Malaysia yet. Even in australia.

AFAIK, if you applied for any overseas uni, then you failed and you try to get in through IMU PMS, they will reject your application when you are going there. Lets say you apply Adelaide direct, then you failed, they will reject your admission even when you try to go in through IMU. So you are taking a gamble. IMU local degree is recognised in the US alongside UKM and UM.

AIMST University's MBBS just got recognised by MMC officially on the 13th of Jan. =))

Coming up next shall me monash and cyberjaya med uni.

monash msia mbbs is recognised by AMC already.........

if you are a citizen or pr of the partner country, you CANNOT twin to that country......

however, it is not stated that they will automatically reject you if you have applied directly to that uni before and turned down......

imu is NOT recognised in the us, neither is ukm or mu........no foreign degree out of the north american continent is recognised, all foreign doctors (including british/european) needs to pass the umsle to get registered and work...........

yes u r right, but in California only UKM, UM, IMU graduates r allowed 2 practise there, provided they passed USMLE n got a residency, do correct me if i'm wrong.

Nope, you are wrong. Graduates from any medical schools listed in IMED can practice in any part of US provided that they have passed USMLE.

Added on February 22, 2008, 6:58 pmdun worry if u r not from IMU, UM, UKM, but truth is the truth,

In california, onli IMU, UKM, UM graduates r recognised,
International Medical University
National University of Malaysia Faculty of Medicine
University of Malaya Faculty of Medicine

http://www.medbd.ca.gov/applicant/schools_recognized.html

Take note,
To date California is the only state out of 50 that requires the school to be on their list for Licensure, the rest of the states will consider any school that is on the WHO list and is not on an Unapproved list if the state has one.

So, my advice is 2 do some research 1st, b4 sayin "Nope, you are wrong",ok? And realli is that, some private medskols in M'sia will say their degree is recognised 2 practise in US, but that does not apply 2 California.

Sorry for my mistake. That's the information i got from a specialist trained in US. He must have missed that part.
So if let's say i am from a school not recognised by the Board of California but have passed USMLE, i still cannot practice there??
That's really weird.

Btw, just to let you know, i am not worried at all, as i dun plan to practice in US.
Even if i do, there are still 49 states where i can go.

Dun worry, you can leave this country once you have completed your housemanship.

It is stated (not only here but some other place which I cannot currently recall) that if you failed to enter that university, you cannot backdoor through IMU.
