for international students, UMAT is not needed to apply for UNSW; but ISAT is needed for UTAS..its the new rule..

UNSW just decreased their quota to 40 i think..so its harder to get in..they start interviewing candidates from september onwards..up till january..CV, interview and TER are all very important in getting an early offer from UNSW..

UTAS..they only take in 20 international students..they give out conditional offers around october..

hope this helps!

most of my coursemates are using talley/o'connor... (me included).. it's a really handy book..
older lectureres might prefer Hutchkinsons Clinical Methods.. a much older book (but i've seen an updated version in the market)

no clue about epstein though..
nah, with the commercialization of our healthcare system, respect & adulation for doctors won't be the same as it was back then..
nowadays patients come in, expect docs to cure their symptoms, but refuse further management..
their stance: "i pay for you to get rid of my symptom; symptoms gone, thanks & bye!"

O..the old cucrriculum recommends talley, the new curriculum recommends epstein..i went to kamal..talley is out of stock..the guy recommmended me epstein..but since talley is out of stock, it should be a better book right.. tongue.gif

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..

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)..

anyone with any results can apply......whether they short list you is a different matter.......from last year, if you get straight As they will short list for interview, but the majority given medicine scholarships had at least 11A1.......

if you are really financially strapped but determined to do medicine, your best option is do matrik or stpm and go ipta.....that is also a major 'scholarship' , you pay something like 10% of the real cost.....

this is very true! at least 11A1s and some A2s..getting into matriks is a very good option too..cuz its easier to get 4.0 and med in ipta..

that's is the problem.

since u all currently studying medic, do studying biology during f4/f5 and matric give me advantage in my uni year? or will we just learn a whole new thing?

can anybody here clarify if there is physical science student joining medic for degree in USM, UKM, or UPM? if they do accept, what's my chance?

i dont know about your chance of getting into the universities, but i would like to say that not having a bio background wouldnt make a very huge difference. this is because in oversea universities, biology is not a prequisitive for medicine. any student with chemistry, maths, physics can get into medicine. there is a whole lot of new stuff in medicine, compared to what we have studied before in bio. as long as you study whats needed, you should be doing alright.

Hi all,

It's great to see limeuu being still so ever active in this thread ever since i've started this few years back.

I hope you all know that this thread is NOT MEANT FOR CRITICIZING OTHER UNIVERSITIES but to provide support and inquiry to the world of medicine.

Please respect the other user ,like how you deem respect from others.

We're future doctors afterall. Be like one.
