♥ medmedmed
last year i applied for medicine, through standard entry.
as a high school leaver, there was 1450 students who applied, with 120 places, and two or three interviews for each of those places.
that's around 25% of the total number of students who applied who get an interview...
and 8% of the total number of students applied who get a place...
this year, as a undergraduate student at uwa.
i am now a non standard entrant, with around 300 people also applying for undergraduate medicine.
and only 15 medical places, again - two or three interviews per place.
thats a max of 45 interviews. for 300 applicants. which is 15%.
only 15 places and 300 people applying, thats 5%.
moral of story: my boyfriend was right. the 'easiest' way to get into med is as a highschool leaver. so if u want it, work ur butt off for TEE...
anyways. thats just some random facts. as i was filling out all my tisc and gpa things today.
my fgpa is 6.125, which is greater than the minimum of 5.5 *thumbs up*. will need to boost it higher this semester though, to help with the ranking system. which im starting to wonder if is possible. hm.
