How To Get Into Medicine In Australia (EVERTING YOU NEED TO KNOW)

Hey guys! In this video I give an overview of how to get into Medical school and study medicine in Australia! This video covers what you need to do to get into medicine based on how I got into medicine and also specifically what the med schools at each university are looking for (ATAR, GAMSAT and interview) so hopefully you'll know what to expect when applying to study medicine! 👊

Who am I?
Hi everyone! My name is Daniel and i just graduated with a 99.90 ATAR and a 3160 UCAT gaining me provisional entry into UQ MED where i am doing engineering (honours) as my undergraduate degree with a 12k/year scholarship ! I make videos on this channel about my study habits, productivity and my life in general! I hope that you all enjoy the video, and if you did, please leave a like on the video or subscribe to the channel, I would really appreciate it!

You are a legend thank you so much. This helped me far more than you can imagine 🙏

[@desklamp5690]

what a madlad! this must've took a lot of time to compile, thanks dude

[@danielgibbon2463]

Yeah it took a while. I spend a lot of time in year 12 researching this kinda stuff and thought it would be helpful to other students to summarise it in one video. Hope you found it useful!

[@saxonluke9021]

That was a really informative vid, cheers. Where did you get all though information as in the tables displayed?

[@danielgibbon2463]

there are two links to the document i got it from in the description - the first one has got the best info

[@alexandrawolf4254]

Hello! That's was great advice! I was just to clarify something. I graduated high school in 2022 with a low ucat score and have started a uni course in 2023. Does this mean I can still use my atar when redoing ucat in 2023? I have heard that it's possible to redo the ucat the following year as the atar is valid for 2 years (?) despite entering uni, but I'm not sure if this is entirely true.

[@ashtonmccauley8247]

Thank you for the video, it was very helpful. Just have a question regarding the atar. Do atar adjustment factors get included into the atar application for the high school pathways? Or do they simply just go off raw atar? Since I heard apparently if you get 5 atar adjustments it increases your raw atar by 5. Meaning an atar of 94.95 gets increased to 99.95 - which honestly seems too powerful and a bit unfair in the application process.

[@danielgibbon2463]

To my knowledge adjustment factors do not count for most universities for medicine (however it count for pretty much every other degree).

Are my Uni options limited if I take IB chemistry SL and Biology HL?

[@cu8210]

Hey Daniel, I'm just curious on what your routine was after school for year 11 and 12. I'm about to be entering year 11 and I'm accelerating in biology and just wanted to know around how much you studied for each subject.

[@danielgibbon2463]

I am actually in the process of making a video about my year 12 routine which should come out in the next few days so just look out for that :)

[@danielgibbon2463]

I just released the video about my year 12 routine - hope it is helpful.

[@cu8210]

@@danielgibbon2463 Thanks so much, I'll check it out :)

[@abdullah-hi6cf]

Did you do any volunteering during year 12? I have no volunteering experience but I have until the end of this year when the interviews are, how important are volunteering/extracurriculars?

[@danielgibbon2463]

I did not do much volunteering befor my interviews (I was a leader one youth camp and one school canp)
however if possible I would recommend you do some volunteering because it can help you develop you soft skills and have valuable thing a to talk about in interviews.

[@brendanfan3245]

very confused. your chart says there are 3 types of pathways, school leaver, undergraduate (including direct entry & provisional entry) and graduate pathway. But in your video, you did not mention anything about school leaver pathway?

[@danielgibbon2463]

the school leaver pathway is the direct entry - sorry for the confusion
