    Hi Sebastian, great video! I was wondering if you applied to Uni's after your first GAMSAT sitting? Did you have any interviews before you were excepted by Usyd? Thanks!

    • @SebastianPirie
      @SebastianPirie  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes I did apply for other unis. I had an interview at Griffith the previous year, and ANU the same year as when I interviewwed for USYD. I talk about this in my "How I Got Into Medical School" video :)

  • @ATLA_3_
    @ATLA_3_ 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Hi Sebastian! Thank you so much for the video. If you don’t mind, I was wondering what your undergrad GPA was. Also was your GPA from your honours year separate? If so did you apply with your honours year GPA or the GPA from your 3 yr undergrad?

    • @SebastianPirie
      @SebastianPirie  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're welcome! My GPA from honours was separate because they take your GPA from the previous 3 years so my 1st year marks didn't contribute.

    • @HobboChocobo
      @HobboChocobo 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sebastian Pirie hmm wouldn’t they count your honours year GPA then (and previous years?) So in other words it would be combined with last two years of your UG degree?

    • @SebastianPirie
      @SebastianPirie  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      ​@@angeloacanto5953 I sat the UMAT (before it got changed to UCAT) in high school and didn't perform very well. I considered sitting it again but GAMSAT seemed like the way to go because I wanted to study medicine at USYD which is mainly graduate entry. I also wanted to complete a Bachelor's degree to get more experience and time under my belt before I committed to med school :)

    Hey Sebastian! What average grade (GPA) did you have to get in your first degree to apply for your medical school?

    • @SebastianPirie
      @SebastianPirie  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It depends on the uni! For my uni, you needed a credit average minimum.

  • @eoingarton8040

    Hey Sebastian, I was just wondering what you studied in your undergrad degree? I’m doing a biology major and have studied first year chemistry but was considering using my elective courses to do either some extra chem units or some humanities units. I know chem courses would be directly relevant to the GAMSAT and medicine, but I feel like taking some humanities courses might round me out as a doctor and help with some other non-science skills? Do you have any thoughts?

    Hi Sebastian! I was wondering if your bachelor’s degree of medical science helped you with the GAMSAT. I’m currently doing BS nursing so I just wanted to know if I should transfer or not. Thanks!

    • @SebastianPirie
      @SebastianPirie  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Having a science degree helps with improving your timing for S3. Other than that, I think everyone has the capacity to perform well in the GAMSAT with effective preparation. If you're enjoying nursing, stick with it! All the best :)

  • @ghazalalipour-talesh5377
    @ghazalalipour-talesh5377 ปีที่แล้ว

    Edit: Great video, defs worth subscribing for. I wanted to do Med as an undergrad but didn't do so well on the UMAT and tbh personally I wasn't ready nor could handle Med, am now doing radiation therapy but I'm considering the idea of graduate Med.

      I know your feels about the UMAT. It's also really tricky when you don't have much real world experience.
      If you do consider graduate med in the future I'm sure you'll love it! Best of luck with it all :)

      But like you said the Gamsat is irrelevant once you finish your degree and become a junior doctor. So maybe the uni you go to also doesn't matter as much since it's that hard work ethic that follows through to professional.
