Genuine question for prospective med students too, why do yall want to go straight into med? Isn't there post-grad routes to do medicine? I feel like all the stress isn't worth it (in my very unambitious opinion).

fr and undergrad med is still a relatively new course too. Doesn't it only make a 1-2 year difference in the course of your career anyway?

post-grad routes are just as stressful if not more stressful from what I've seen (maintaining a good WAM, doing the GAMSAT, ensuring you did the right units in your undergrad degree, etc) - you have to do an interview anyways too

honestly though for me it's because I'm lazy and I don't want to think about it more than I have to

Isn’t post grad routes more stressful coz it isn’t guaranteed, your competing against so many others especially with the gamsat and so many ppl get left with undergrad degrees they don’t even want

I see what your saying, cause I spent the whole yr working towards it, only for my UCAT not go well, but I'm planning on trying again next yr hopefully.

The undergrad courses are kind of sped up which is one of the reasons I want to do it. The post grad pathway requires a 3yr bachelor, then you do the GAMSAT test and interviews and some uni's require some minimum marks in bachelor, then 4yr postgrad, which adds up to 7 whole yrs. So by doing undergrad you can also skip the whole GAMSAT and interview and once your in, your in and set for life basically.

yeah the most optimal undergrad is supposedly medical science, but it's arguably more competitive than the BMed/MD stream and you might get saddled with a degree that is literally useless unless you go for the MD pathway

 

[Study to success]

Also who wants to stress that much in uni. Like stress in high school is already enough

 

[Baliistic]

House MD or smth yeah

I genuinely couldnt even consider medicine same with even bio I find it too yucky idk i cant find a better way to explain it

 

[qweeosh]

Wowzers, I was under the very wrong impression that it would have been easier to get into medicine postgrad lol.

I genuinely couldnt even consider medicine same with even bio I find it too yucky idk i cant find a better way to explain it

Fr, I have considered every possible career paths but medicine and the army so I have a great admiration for anyone who wants to get into medicine.

me, for whom those were two of my biggest considerations:

but fair enough though! there's smth for everyone, and honestly the process to get into med is so counterintuitive considering the supposed "doctor shortage" we have

 

[quokka]

i lowkey would be in the army but have one of those non fighting roles

 

[bustygint]

im lowkey cooked for drama even though im 1st bc ive barely touched my notes since my trials in MAY

Bruh im busty gint and i say that drama is the easiest exam in the entire HSC like there is not a single other exam that comes even close to how easy that subject's exam is

 

[bustygint]

hey did you know im busty gint

 

[quokka]
