Bandev Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Awesome job Bandev. Really happy to hear you did well . After all the IB has put you through. Welcome to the club (of IB graduates).Keep in mind that you can still try to get into the course of your choice, just make sure you make it clear that you really want in. Universities love to see someone who is really dedicated (or so they say). It kind of doesn't work like that in Australia they are alot more impersonal than in England, they go by scores only, and the score is the same for everyone, very few courses require interviews so it would make any difference if I contacted them. @HMS the course was Med at Melbourne for which I needed an 43 minimum, 44 is more like it actually.

With a 43 you could probably have slid in. But good things do come from the bad--a lot of people want Medicine, fall just short, and end up loving other careers. Your mark is quite good, it's excellent. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandev Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I could have got into med with my score if I had a better UMAT I can always do the UMAT again. But as you said there are other things. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lestat Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 bachelor of arts in what lestat?at the university of melbourne focusing on political science and philosophy (I think i was one of the few in my class who actually enjoyed ToK). i'm actually most worried about not getting to a residential college they seem really competitive.

Bandev Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) What college are you trying for? Don't worry you are not the only one well despite us being in different school. I enjoyed writing my TOK essay, I wonder if that is why I got an A, everyone elses probably had undercurrents of hate and anger.

I was thinking of International House, but they're located off-campus which is a little annoying. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 you need a 43 for medicine? ...Thats ridiculously high.For CIE examinations, they only ask for all As!!! And a B in AS English at least. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well hopefully I'll still get in to Monash or UNSW... Edit: To be fair most med schools in Aust. require an interview (though almost all other courses rely on academic merit alone...)

Forester Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) But don't you get a national scholarship if you get 44 or 45? at Melbourne. SO 43 is great isn't it?a friend of mine, who isn't that smart, and no where near 99.90 got into Melbourne Med. not an IB student though. Are you saying everyone in med school is 99.90?

Are you saying everyone in med school is 99.90?Not everyone in med school has a 99.90. I personally know of people with 42/43s and who are studying Medicine at Unimelb. It depends on your UMAT, and it's extremely competitive. Other courses at Melbourne, such as dentistry and veterinary science are slightly less competitive, but they still need great scores. So it really depends on the selection officers, and how you went in comparison to others. But IMO it's the hardest course to get into, a 43 is an AWESOME score, and if that doesn't get you a place (be it even CSP bonded!), Melbourne are surely missing out.But good luck with your other applications, Cham. Did you get an interview offer from Monash? Edited January 11, 2008 by shotaway Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandev Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Are you sure Cham? Because one of my friends got exactly the same scores for UMAT and IB, she thinks that she will get Med at MelbUni. Forester and shotaway you are right you can get into melb with scores in the low 98s if you have a really good UMAT, one of my friends sisters got in to melb med with 98.10, btw that is a really good score, where you expecting 45 though, as is apparent by the smilies.

Guest Cham Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) Well, the table on UniMelb's website indicates that I fall far from the cut-offs (my score =99.8 + 253 WUMAT/ score required for CSB UNBONDED PLACE = 99.85 +287 WUMAT or 99.90 + 190 WUMAT). One of my friends (HSC grad 2006) got scores of 99.85 + WUMAT 266 and was only called for a DFEE place (which she accepted) so the cut-offs on the website pretty much tells it like it is...My only hope is that they give some special consideration to IB grads (unlikely) or that my remarks in Eng. and Chem. score me at least 1 more point (unlikely). The quota this year is 89 undergrad CSP students, and considering the demand it just doesn't seem very likely that I will be offered a spot (I'm starting to get over this though ) Bandev, maybe your friend had a higher WUMAT that mine, remember that they double the Raw score of S1 (log reasoning and prob solving) my scores were pretty average: Section 1 65 (95%'tile) Section 2 60 (92%'tile) and Section 3 66 (96%tile). If your friend got in the 100%tile in S1 then his/her WUMAT would be much, much higher than mine. Even so, if s/he got 43 (UAI 99.80) then she would have to qualify for the 'UMAT only stream' as the 'UMAT/ENTER' requires 99.85 (given the number of ppl that apply, 0.5 makes a huge difference - if only 43 converted to 99.85 *sigh*) Edit: Lol no I wasn't expecting 45, I wasn't even expecting 43...It's like expecting to win $50 and winning $99 instead, I'm over the moon, but there will always be that $1 that got away... Edit2: OMFG I can't believe I just used a money analogy to describe med school entrance...I do wanna help ppl, honest!

Forester Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 omg...43 should be 99.85, this is only for med school right? For Law it's easier? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
