Two videos in a week!? If you appreciate the work that goes into these videos, could you please smash that like button 👍 It makes me very happy to hear your stories, and good luck to everyone currently on their medical school journey. Turn up, persevere and you'll get there! Enjoy the weekend everyone, and I'll see you in the next video 😊
Thank you so much! And thank you for being honest about set backs and the difficulties of getting in to med school too! Perserverence is everything and your reasoning for this path is very beautiful
I will be back here when I become a medical student.. 🤓 Edit of comment.. I have accepted in the Medical School, I thank you for your beautiful comments and I hope all your goals will achieved. 🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
dang dude i have SO MUCH respect for you and your journey. i sort of made the assumption that you had gotten into undergrad medicine right out of high school because you're so articulate and confident, but knowing that it was a process and you overcame so many hurdles has filled me with so much hope! i'm currently a year eleven student in sydney so this literally redefined my attitude towards getting into med :D
Hi! I'm currently taking BS biology major in medical biology being in this course has been a challenge to me, to be serous it is just like half of med school Co'z it has bunch of pressure and learnings but because I choose this course I'll just accept it and don't even reject, sometimes I failed but I OVERCOME those failure, thank you for your VLOG because it makes me to inspire more,to have bunch of positivity behind me, swear to God I will finish this course until I get into medschool. Thank you again!😊
Your videos are giving me hope ❤️ I’m 22 and I feel like I’m running out of time to get into med school but your words were so inspiring and motivational, thank you for your videos!
Why am I, a 5th yr med student from Australia, watching a vid about getting into med school at 2am 😅😅😂. Reliving that UMAT trauma omg. I literally did the same thing with just putting B for all the left over questions rip. I need to sleep
@Grace Olorunnife Hii 😊 The course has been pretty good imo, we definitely get a lot more clinical placement earlier on and throughout in comparison to some down south unis. my 5th year has been 100% full-time clinical placement over 6 different rotations (e.g. surgery, paediatrics, mental health etc) and we were only recalled for six weeks during the peak of covid. and we still got online zoom classes with consultants/registrars during this time. the main difference with JCU is that we have an extra 6th year of the degree which is used to further our clinical skills and ensure we're 'intern ready' once we graduate, and a lot of doctors (and students) said it was really helpful in making us more competent. the first three years are lecture-tutorial-study-exam focused and we're taught half by doctors and half by professors who specialise in the various forms of biology). jcu staff/coordinators are very much willing to help/assist u when there are concerns and i will say it is a pretty guided course. We have lots of long-term rural placements which we are required to complete by JCU which have actually turned out to be the best place to learn as u are allowed to perform / assist with a lot more clinical procedures/interactions than usual. Issues are we don't get much opportunity to have placement at large city hospitals and jcu can be a bit unorganised admin wise with scheduling/paperwork/assignment stuff (though i feel like that is the same with a lot of unis). But anyways, i defs feel like i made the right choice by coming here and i hope u will enjoy it too if u come
@Grace Olorunnife Hmm the disorganisation hasn't affected me too much at all, it's mainly just because in the later clinical years, all the tutorials/lectures are given by working doctors whose availability are subject to change (due to emergency cases etc), so there are a lot of times where things have been cancelled/rearranged suddenly and without notice. it's smalls things like that which are annoying, but understandable. After we graduate from JCU we get preference for hospitals in queensland (including Brisbane). its then a preference lottery for which hospital u actually get for your internship. so no, not being able to have placement at larger hospitals does NOt affect internships. But i'm only in 5th year so i''m not too knowledgeable about the ins and outs of internship allocations. In regards to note taking, it changes year to year, student to student. Everyone sucks in first year and has no idea what they're doing so dw too much, you'll get the hang of it. But for the first three years at JCU, the lecture material + tutorials covers all the info u need to know for exams (to at least get a Distinction). And lecturers will specifically tell you if there's a chapter in a textbook you need to cover or something. So just summarising those will be enough. In the clinical years (4-6), I used notes written by the med students from previous years and just updated them to current guidelines (or made them more succinct). But honestly, everyone studies differently and usually all your fellow students are willing to help out and share notes/group study
My mom and I, we both were affected by covid last year. She had to stay in the hospital for 1 and a half month. My condition overall was better than her so I wasn't hospatilized. I used to sit outside the ICU and see the doctors and the patients there. And watching all the chaotic, interesting, hectic days of the doctors, I also had a gut feeling that this is what I want to achieve.
Medical school is a very tedious journey according to my batchmates who are on their way to clerkship but it's so worth it. Attending/ Consultants and even Hospitalist of different fields that I worked with in the hospital told me that if you really want to go to med school then go for it because not everyone has the same passion to help other people. Glad to see you have the same passion!
unfortunately the GAMSAT this year is close to being cancelled for the March sitting. Test centres in Ireland, Washington and Singapore have cancelled the exam. This delays my hopes in getting into medicine for the following year but its out of everyones control. Theyre allowing most students to defer or get a complete refund which is upsetting because as of yet the people who sat the gamsat last year may have less competition for next year
I've heard about this, and it's a very unfortunate situation. It's something that no one anticipated but the best thing you can do is look to next year. I just hope ACER will be able to offer a suitable alternative. Hoping it all goes well 🤞🏼
You don't understand how grateful i am for this video and your insight/journey into medical school. thank you very much and i wish you the best with medical school !!!!
I just got accepted to medical school here in Brazil. Here is a 6 year course. 2 years in the basic cycle, 2 years in the clinical cycle and the 2 lasts years are interships. Love your videos! Keep going!
This guy is soooo cutee 😭😭😭💕💕💕 Your words are so heartwarming 😭💕 Actually I am in a high school and I’m planning to be a doctor and I found your channel is really helpful for giving me positive vibes to continue studying and working hard to make my dreams come true ❤️ + sorry for my bad English 😅
Iam a second year student in international bussiness economics. But when i was a kid, i really want to be doctor. I wish i hadnt changed my decision when taking an entrance exam. Anw, luv your video.😃
As a fellow medic (but studying in the UK!) it’s really cool to hear about how medics in other countries get in! Love your channel- you seem so lovely! Subbed ☺️✨
Your story is inspiring , I have similar story with my family , I tried as hard as I could to enter medical school instead I get into pharmacy school , there I found out how passionate I am about pharmacy practice , pharmacokinetics and dynamics of the medicine and I am really thankful.
Thank you for the much needed encouragement! I’m currently in nursing school and there were so many times I wanted to give up but I recently stumbled upon your vlogs and definitely motivated me! Keep up the good work future doctor! :)
I am from India and here after finishing your 4th and last year of high school all the children sit for a board exam which is pretty much like normal exam just the paper is made and checked in CBSE center. To get into med school you have to sit for an exam called NEET . Then your rank and score decides what college you get into.If you don't get a good rank or score then you try again next year. The top medical college here is AIIMS and that is My aim . Your story really inspires me . You are so dedicated and passionate.
HSC student here with early entry into medical and health science! I know its going to be tough but i'm so excited and i'm so glad I no longer have that pressure on me going into the HSC exams next week :)
Thank you for sharing your story!! I just wanted to let you know that you are making a difference in people's lives through your TH-cam channel. I am very grateful to have found this channel and learn from it. 😁😁
Inspiring journey . I more towards animal but i can't achieve that dream to be a veterinarian but it's can't stop me from helping them. I hope i can get in better society with the same journey.
Aw I hope you didn't give up prematurely! But if that's for sure not an option it's mature to recognize your abilities and to do what you can to help and to reach new goals ♥️.... Just promise not to sell yourself short!! I understand situations can make the amount of trouble not worth it like when you weigh pros and cons but if it's you having a lack of faith in yourself, I hope you find your confidence in whatever you end up doing and that you find a niche in life you enjoy!!
I just graduated from high school, and I am thinking of doing a bachelor degree and then get into medicine. Another 7 years of studying 🙁🙁 Great video.
Salut! All the best to all who wanna be doctors. Am a Kenyan and in a Kenyan Medical School soon gratuating with my MBChB and I Looove it. But medicine is crazy 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Your hand movements could power a wind farm!🤣 Great advice to the younger generation, wish I knew what I wanted to do when I was a kid. I'm much older (30+) and I still don't know what profession I want to pursue!
I failed my MCAT (similar to UCAT). But I'm so passionate for becoming a doctor, I'm repeating my year. I hope this time I get admission in a good medical university:)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS VIDEO !!!!, it came out at such a great time when I was feeling demotivated, such a GREAT inspiration especially the fact that you took the GAMSAT 4 times, thats great perseverance!!!. Just a quick question, what was your GPA if you don't mind me asking, has anyone ever gotten into UniSyd with a low GPA but a really great GAMSAT? great video again, keep them coming !
Glad you enjoyed it :) GPA is only a hurdle for USYD (credit average), so as long as you meet this cutoff, you can make up for it with a high GAMSAT. Good luck!
I can’t believe you can still fit in the time to shoot and edit your sweet azzz videos!!! Good on ya bro!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 could you also one day show us your process? Cheers!!
Hi...seeing all the videos of people going to med school is so exciting.. I am in my high school senior year I hope I will turn to comment again when I am accepted...🥀
we have the same thing here in morroco we have to pass high school with at least 70 out of 100 so we can be able to pass the common midicine exam that is so hard to pass . and thanks for this video i really enjoy it
Same here tried into a medical school immediately after high school but always get cut off with very little mark for three years then had to go for environmental health science then prepare for getting into medicine as a postgraduate student ... Just hope I get into it easy after my bachelors 🤞🏾
Hey Sebastian. I hope you are doing great! i just found your channel 2 days ago and since then your videos have helped me in keeping motivated. Thank you so much for that! Keep making these videos. I wanted to request you for a STUDY TIPS video. That would come a lot handy! Lots of Love and Best Wishes from PAKISTAN! Stay Blessed and Stay Safe.
I really really want to become a doctor....I feel like if I don't become a doctor I wouldn't become anyone else coz I don't have any interest in anything else but sometimes I feel discouraged coz I have short term memory please pray for me anyone coming across ma comment im going to write the neet exam next near n.
Heyy i just found out ur videos these lat two weeks and press that subscribe button haha I love to watch medschool students video from abroad cause im also a medstud from Indonesia yoww
Hey mate I love your videos. I'm about to start an honours program. I'd be interested in seeing a video about your experience doing honours or maybe just something about research, projects, or maybe just how you do big assignments. Just a recommendation. Keep up the awesome videos. Cheers!
I have no knowledge of non-American schools but this a great video (and I can relate to it cause there are no undergrad medical school programs in the US).
You have just been rejected from Monash Medical School, sat the GAMSAT once with little prep and got a score below 50 ( Section 3 really dragged you down). I've never seen you cry like that, the way you bawled your eyes reading that rejection letter, those tears taught you that you really do want to become a doctor. That, this is something you really must do. I need you to pick yourself up, you can't give up. You have barely tried. So what you got rejected ( once, girl lets be for real)? We all need to fall, but what makes someone different and successful is the way they pick themself up. You need to stand up, you need to stand up strong and full of courage. Invite God onto this journey. You can do nothing unless through Christ. Do it for the lives you will save, do it for the happy faces you will bring, do it for the hope and light you will bring. You can't give up, you have barely left the starting line.
Hey Sebastian. I really love your channel and all of the videos you uploaded which are quite informative and showing the really life of medical school. I am just wondering what is the residency requirement for BMP (I thought both CSP and BMP accept permanent residency as well as citizenship?) Caz I only have PR not citizenship and really want to clarify if i will meet the eligibility requirement for BMP. Thanks!
Like another comment, I’ll be back next year, I’m going to try apply straight as an undergrad but I guess if it doesn’t work out, it’s not the end of the world. That’s what this video taught me. Also love the cutie penguin🐧
What a powerful video! You are so strong and committed. Perseverance is key. Thank you so much for sharing your journey, this has motivated me a lot :)...ps: name the penguin Penny ;)
Also another question, how was your social life during this whole process? I feel like I am isolating myself from everyone and just studying constantly. However, going into my second year I've decided to get more organised to make time for friends, gym ect. keep up the videos man
I'm 16 and I want to become a medical student, I have been searching for the process. I started to aim for my goal and will try my best to work forward. Hopes I will archive it, I will come back when I did it.
When I looked into this video I think I really messed up my high school like I couldn't take biology and mathematics at the same time since I was seriously sick and I can't effort to study them both. I really had passion towards biology field but I was good in maths, so I took maths and after high I ended up in B.Ed course which was totally not fine but because of my family background I couldn't help or reject it. I have to be here and I'm still wondering whether i have got any chance of becoming a doctor or simply a teacher for a life time because I just can't get rid of this dream. Anyways your vedioes are inspiring ❤
Just subscribed :) Also I saw one of your recent vids of you studying at Western Sydney Uni Parramatta? Do you live near there? Also you have a news reporter voice.
I'm from Cambodia, A highschool student but BTW I almost finish my highschool degree, I'm really interested in Medicine , I want to be a doctor because I really want to help people. Hope I can find a path to reach my goal 💪🙏💪
Hi I'm new here to your channel and I'm very interested to your story to your med journey. I want to ask if I apply for med school in Australia I need to finish my undergraduate course is related to pre med course or not necessarily related in pre med courses? Because I'm currently 5th yr. Civil Engineering student here in the Philippines and I want to take Med in Australia too. Stay safe and God bless you and to your journey in Med school.
I needed this video, thank you so much for posting this. What doctor do you want to become while you’re in medical school, or is there any field, that you’re interested in?
My pleasure! I'm not really sure, there's too many interesting specialties 😅 So far, I've really enjoyed infectious diseases, and neurology but we'll have to wait and see!
Thank you for the awesome video! I have been searching for a video that explains the process to get into medicine in Sydney. One question, did your ATAR have any effect or get mentioned during the application process if you apply as a postgraduate at Sydney uni?
Nice video man, sounds like you've had a very interesting journey to say the least. Positive attitudes are most certainly make the difference in the long run. Started my undergrad this year, hoping to pick up some tips and tricks from you so i can fare better in the dreaded gamsat in the years to come. Cheers. :D
To be honest,I am an Indian studying in class 12 now.My sister is doing her final year at a medical college in my state(in India).My cousin is currently doing his final year in medicine at Hongkong.What they both say is,it's not the college you get into that matters ,it is the way you work hard in your university that matters.
Hey, I love your channel. It is very helpful and interesting. I am a first-year student at UNSW, studying advanced Science/ Commerce. I always wanted to be a doctor, but I didn't have enough courage to take UCAT last year because I was focusing more on my ATAR. So I am thinking to go the GAMSAT route. I chose a double degree so if I didn't make it into med school, I can still easily get a job with a commerce degree. But I am worried because I belong to the business faculty in uni, so will it disadvantageous in interviews compared to just science or medical science degrees? After this term, I have to declare my majors so I like something that would help me in my medical degree (If I make it). What are the courses that 1st-year medical student learn? Or what courses would you recommend? And also my degree is expected to take 4 years, so can I sit for GAMSAT in my final year or do I have to wait until I graduate? Sorry for the rambling. Hope you stay safe and healthy.
Hi there! It doesn't matter what degree you do before med school, they don't give any preference to science majors. As for subjects, anything biology, chemistry, or physics related will be helpful when it comes to sitting the GAMSAT. Your GAMSAT score is valid for 2 years, so you can sit it the 2 years prior before graduation. Hope this clarifies things, and good luck! 😊
Historically, the USYD cutoff score is generally around the high 60s, so you're in a good spot with 70! Remember that they use your average score so you'll need to take that into account. Best of luck 🙌🏼
so u did a degree for 5 years.then apply for medical degree for another 5years? wow..the preserverence I'm still in my undergrad medical degree..had a lot of bumps in the road, repeate the year a lot & still got few more years. pray for me !

Hey Sebastian! I checked and there's no major in physiology and pathology for MedSci students in Usyd? Did they get rid of that major?:(
thank you

I couldnt get enough scores here in albania,and because of a different system here,Im now studying Nursing,and actually im happy!
Great to hear you're happy at nursing school 😊 Enjoy your studies!
Same here tried into a medical school immediately after high school but always get cut off with very little mark for three years then had to go for environmental health science then prepare for getting into medicine as a postgraduate student ...
Just hope I get into it easy after my bachelors 🤞🏾
@@ahakeemmabof258 wish you luck
Kristi Hoxha thanks
Hey Sebastian. I hope you are doing great! i just found your channel 2 days ago and since then your videos have helped me in keeping motivated. Thank you so much for that! Keep making these videos.
I wanted to request you for a STUDY TIPS video. That would come a lot handy! Lots of Love and Best Wishes from PAKISTAN! Stay Blessed and Stay Safe.
I really really want to become a doctor....I feel like if I don't become a doctor I wouldn't become anyone else coz I don't have any interest in anything else but sometimes I feel discouraged coz I have short term memory please pray for me anyone coming across ma comment im going to write the neet exam next near n.
Heyy i just found out ur videos these lat two weeks and press that subscribe button haha
I love to watch medschool students video from abroad cause im also a medstud from Indonesia yoww
Thankyou so much for your experiences ❤️loads of love from India
love your vids. i'm a new fan
Hey mate I love your videos.
I'm about to start an honours program. I'd be interested in seeing a video about your experience doing honours or maybe just something about research, projects, or maybe just how you do big assignments.
Just a recommendation. Keep up the awesome videos. Cheers!
Thanks for the idea, will look into it :) Best of luck with your project, I'm sure you'll have a blast 👊🏼
hii i really love watching your videos!! it's so informational & motivating. hope i make it to med too & hopefully in Australia *fingers crossed*
I hope so too! Best of luck 🤞
kinda random but the function group posters on your wall-> i have the exact same one on my wall right now HAHAHA
Gaawwd he's so cute🥺🥺😍❤️
I have no knowledge of non-American schools but this a great video (and I can relate to it cause there are no undergrad medical school programs in the US).
Not including BS/MD programs but that wicked competitive.
You have just been rejected from Monash Medical School, sat the GAMSAT once with little prep and got a score below 50 ( Section 3 really dragged you down). I've never seen you cry like that, the way you bawled your eyes reading that rejection letter, those tears taught you that you really do want to become a doctor. That, this is something you really must do.
I need you to pick yourself up, you can't give up. You have barely tried. So what you got rejected ( once, girl lets be for real)? We all need to fall, but what makes someone different and successful is the way they pick themself up.
You need to stand up, you need to stand up strong and full of courage. Invite God onto this journey. You can do nothing unless through Christ.
Do it for the lives you will save, do it for the happy faces you will bring, do it for the hope and light you will bring.
You can't give up, you have barely left the starting line.
Inspiring person 😆keep it up
Can you make a dedicated video on studying for the UCAT please, like tips on how to study as well as how to perform well on the day. Thank you
Hey Sebastian. I really love your channel and all of the videos you uploaded which are quite informative and showing the really life of medical school. I am just wondering what is the residency requirement for BMP (I thought both CSP and BMP accept permanent residency as well as citizenship?) Caz I only have PR not citizenship and really want to clarify if i will meet the eligibility requirement for BMP. Thanks!
Double check the official website, but I believe having PR meets the elibility criteria for BMP :)
@@SebastianPirie Thx for your reply! I've done that. Yes, it seems both CSP and BMP accept PR :)
I will be back when I get into medical school👽
Like another comment, I’ll be back next year, I’m going to try apply straight as an undergrad but I guess if it doesn’t work out, it’s not the end of the world. That’s what this video taught me. Also love the cutie penguin🐧
Thank you this video was amazing
What a powerful video! You are so strong and committed. Perseverance is key. Thank you so much for sharing your journey, this has motivated me a lot :)...ps: name the penguin Penny ;)
I will be back when I get into medical school
Would doing a bio medicine degree, help set me up for applying for medical school ? appreciate this video sm!
Also another question, how was your social life during this whole process? I feel like I am isolating myself from everyone and just studying constantly. However, going into my second year I've decided to get more organised to make time for friends, gym ect. keep up the videos man
Usually I eat ass and smoke grass but I’m literally a convicted sex offender from Cali lol ☠️
@@goonsdoona2979 wtf…
I'm 16 and I want to become a medical student, I have been searching for the process. I started to aim for my goal and will try my best to work forward. Hopes I will archive it, I will come back when I did it.
Best of luck!
Also preparing for Med school entrance . Hope I will succeed to get into med school
I hope you do too! Keep up the hard work, and best of luck 😊
I want to become fighter pilot but I'm watching your videos hahahhahahhahhh😂😂❤️
When I looked into this video I think I really messed up my high school like I couldn't take biology and mathematics at the same time since I was seriously sick and I can't effort to study them both. I really had passion towards biology field but I was good in maths, so I took maths and after high I ended up in B.Ed course which was totally not fine but because of my family background I couldn't help or reject it. I have to be here and I'm still wondering whether i have got any chance of becoming a doctor or simply a teacher for a life time because I just can't get rid of this dream. Anyways your vedioes are inspiring ❤
How about making a vlog about your health. Like, do you work out? What foods do you eat? Do you maintain your body like that? Stuff like that. 😁
I am a medical student from Bangladesh... I love reading with you
I'm in the process 😊😊😊
I want to get into medical school hopefully after my four year pre med
Just subscribed :) Also I saw one of your recent vids of you studying at Western Sydney Uni Parramatta? Do you live near there? Also you have a news reporter voice.
I'm from Cambodia, A highschool student but BTW I almost finish my highschool degree, I'm really interested in Medicine , I want to be a doctor because I really want to help people. Hope I can find a path to reach my goal 💪🙏💪
Hi I'm new here to your channel and I'm very interested to your story to your med journey. I want to ask if I apply for med school in Australia I need to finish my undergraduate course is related to pre med course or not necessarily related in pre med courses? Because I'm currently 5th yr. Civil Engineering student here in the Philippines and I want to take Med in Australia too. Stay safe and God bless you and to your journey in Med school.
I will be back when I am a medical student.
💖👨🏻⚕️ future doctor 💯
This is a great video Sebastian! Which uni did you do your undergrad at?
The same uni - USYD :)
can you make a house tour video
I needed this video, thank you so much for posting this. What doctor do you want to become while you’re in medical school, or is there any field, that you’re interested in?
My pleasure! I'm not really sure, there's too many interesting specialties 😅
So far, I've really enjoyed infectious diseases, and neurology but we'll have to wait and see!
True inspiration....😊😊
Medical college should be made more affordable so more students can get into medicine and save lives.
Thank you for the awesome video! I have been searching for a video that explains the process to get into medicine in Sydney. One question, did your ATAR have any effect or get mentioned during the application process if you apply as a postgraduate at Sydney uni?
ATAR is only relevant for the school-leaver pathway (99.95 minimum). If you go through the postgraduate route, they only look at your GPA & GAMSAT :)
Sebastian Pirie thank you so much!! Can not wait to have some free time to watch over your videos :)))
loveeee ur videossss
🙏🙏
this was so interesting!
Nice video man, sounds like you've had a very interesting journey to say the least. Positive attitudes are most certainly make the difference in the long run. Started my undergrad this year, hoping to pick up some tips and tricks from you so i can fare better in the dreaded gamsat in the years to come. Cheers. :D
Thank you for this video. I agree that it's a cutie.😊😊😊
can you make a video in which to tell us reading tips to get medical ??? please 🥺
Not sure what to call the big penguin but I'm sure Toby will be happy he has a new penguin 'friend'. Hope he likes them thicc. #StaySharp
😂😂
Please make a video on why you'd recommend an iPad for medical school! 😇
I hope I get into Med Uni... I am working on it...
Can you explain the "bump up" offer?
THANKYOU :)
How Should I Get into to your uni from India , I am 12 grade + student
To be honest,I am an Indian studying in class 12 now.My sister is doing her final year at a medical college in my state(in India).My cousin is currently doing his final year in medicine at Hongkong.What they both say is,it's not the college you get into that matters ,it is the way you work hard in your university that matters.
@@ameenh4122 🙋🙋
Hey Sebastian! I loved listening to your story - you're truly admirable. What area of medicine are you most interested in currently? :)
My pleasure 🙏🏼 At the moment, I'm really interested in infectious diseases and neurology :)
Please always upload
Hey, I love your channel. It is very helpful and interesting. I am a first-year student at UNSW, studying advanced Science/ Commerce. I always wanted to be a doctor, but I didn't have enough courage to take UCAT last year because I was focusing more on my ATAR. So I am thinking to go the GAMSAT route. I chose a double degree so if I didn't make it into med school, I can still easily get a job with a commerce degree. But I am worried because I belong to the business faculty in uni, so will it disadvantageous in interviews compared to just science or medical science degrees?
After this term, I have to declare my majors so I like something that would help me in my medical degree (If I make it). What are the courses that 1st-year medical student learn? Or what courses would you recommend?
And also my degree is expected to take 4 years, so can I sit for GAMSAT in my final year or do I have to wait until I graduate?
Sorry for the rambling. Hope you stay safe and healthy.
Hi there! It doesn't matter what degree you do before med school, they don't give any preference to science majors. As for subjects, anything biology, chemistry, or physics related will be helpful when it comes to sitting the GAMSAT. Your GAMSAT score is valid for 2 years, so you can sit it the 2 years prior before graduation. Hope this clarifies things, and good luck! 😊
@@SebastianPirie OMG thanks so much and stay safe.
who else can watch this talking stuff at 2x speed like me it saves time :)
Hi Sebastian-I've been finding your videos so helpful! Do you believe a Gamsat score of 70 will still be competitive for USYD for 2021 intake?
70 was the interview cutoff this year so, while not guaranteed, is probably a good shot!
Historically, the USYD cutoff score is generally around the high 60s, so you're in a good spot with 70! Remember that they use your average score so you'll need to take that into account. Best of luck 🙌🏼
so u did a degree for 5 years.then apply for medical degree for another 5years?
wow..the preserverence
I'm still in my undergrad medical degree..had a lot of bumps in the road, repeate the year a lot & still got few more years. pray for me !
