?? Didn't have much trouble with that..

nor will i have any more trouble in the future when i get into postgrad medicine/dent at university of melbourne soon -.-

Tall poppy syndrome is strong with this one.

Lol, clearly just a joke mate. Your defensiveness would imply a fair chunk of insecurity there. Either insecurity, or absolute tosser levels of arrogance. Either way, I win :thumbsu:

*Btw I'm a multi millionaire with seven supermodel mistresses and I drive a Ferrari.

What defensiveness?? I'm sorry if you were so insecure to make a "joke" for seemingly no reason :)

Don't be too jealous mate ;) I'm already doing undergrad degree at melbourne uni....

Arts isn't a degree. Also, honest suggestion, look at other unis for med, the practical aspect of melb uni fails.

Oh and not jealous, I've got my under grad degrees and am doing masters atm.

lol you obviously don't understand anything, i would stop talking. You can't get into melbourne med with Arts degree because of the pre-reqs; anatomy, physiology and biochemistry.

I am a science student and have already got a competitive score on the GAMSAT (the med entrance exam).

Also you clearly don't understand the melbourne model because melbourne med (which is ranked no.1 in Aus) gives the most practical experience than any other uni.

Other universities have the 2 + 2 approach where they need to cover basic theories in the first two years and then only 2 years of practical experience.

Melbourne on the otherhand, due to their pre-requisite subjects can skip straight to a 1 + 3 system which gives student an extra year with real experience and research opportunities.

Please don't talk about things you don't understand. I'm sure your masters in Arts at some no name university is going well for you :)

I know med and engineering grads from melb and other unis too, guess which ones found employment and which ones which they had attended a different uni?

There is still the fact I mentioned before, you follow Melbourne. Your club is dead. Enjoy!

Wow . People get really narky about this stuff.

OP, just do the best you can. Previous posters are right though. If you get in to anything at uni, once you are in the system it is easier to swap over into what you really wanted to do later. Good luck.

This Melbourne bloke's just one of those tossers. OP and really everyone in this thread should have a read of this taken from the GD board. Great story:

An American businessman was standing at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish.

“How long it took you to catch them?” The American asked.
“Only a little while.” The Mexican replied.
“Why don’t you stay out longer and catch more fish?” The American then asked.
“I have enough to support my family’s immediate needs.” The Mexican said.
“But,” The American then asked, “What do you do with the rest of your time?”
The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life, senor.”

The American scoffed, “I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds you buy a bigger boat, and with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats.”
“Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the consumers, eventually opening your own can factory. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise.”

The Mexican fisherman asked, “But senor, how long will this all take?”
To which the American replied, “15-20 years.”

“But what then, senor?”
The American laughed and said, “That’s the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO (Initial Public Offering) and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions.”

“Millions, senor? Then what?”
The American said slowly, “Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take a siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos…”

I couldn't care less what you do with your life. It's your arrogance about the path you've taken, ie thinking it makes you better than others, and your inability to laugh at yourself which makes me glad you go for the worst football team since University. Bit of karma for ya for being a knob :thumbsu:

Says the guy who insulted me for absolutely no other reason than jealousy?? All i said was i got 97.65 and had no trouble with getting into courses, which was on topic. And then we get people like you and the other tosser who hasn't got a clue about medicine making observations lol.

Light hearted joke mate as I pointed out, to see my original post as an insult is just ridiculously touchy. I don't know you in any capacity, how could I possibly make a measured call about your experiences with the opposite gender. Jesus, I can't believe I have to actually write this out. Should be pretty *en obvious. Starting to think you really got a 30 ATAR.

Well I am from WA so have no idea about Melbourne unis anyway.

UWA = Melb Uni.

Not necessairily in terms of quality, just the unjustified ego of the students.

Melb has taken the American model which requires an undergrad for just about everything and as a result it is no longer getting the best local students because the name doesn't mean enough to justify wasting 3 years doing a general degree before doing a specialisation.
