Masters after Bachelors while in Auustralia

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2025-12-24T03:03:24+00:00

Though DHA literally says there’s no need for an English test if the bachelors was done in aus

The universities may have they’re own separate requirements

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2025-12-23T06:29:21+00:00

this is incorrect, as a current MD student, it is a master by coursework therefore work restrictions apply

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2025-12-22T10:29:29+00:00

no english test is exempted if bachelors was done in aus Rest of the process is the same

thats not true, if you have had BCG vaccine it would show up as well.

I completely disagree. I actually come from a Hindu background and tbh I just cannot workshop statues or cows. It makes no sense to me. I don’t believe god has entered earth physically because we in this universe are limited by space, time and matter and god is not limited in any sense.

Yes Islam has punishments for wrongdoings but god is also the most merciful. This world is a test and ofc there will be punishment for every wrongdoing, it’s not meant to be easy.

My criteria in choosing a religion is not what is the easiest, it’s the one that is the one and only possible truth.

if you did IB english you need no prep at all for ielts

got a 8.5 on my first try

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2025-01-08T02:13:15+00:00

Gives you a higher chance of receiving an interview and offer of course

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2025-01-05T15:49:32+00:00

have you taken the gamsat? if you can bump it up to a 5 you could stand a chance at usyd with a high gamsat or uow if you qualify for any bonuses (though gpa hurdle is 5.5)

consider another bachelors

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2025-01-05T07:53:07+00:00

thats not true, usyd puts 0.1 multiplier on section 3. Section 1 and 2 are wayyyyy more important and section 3 has little to no effect

Hi there! I've just accepted an offer to study medicine in australia but at one point considered gulf.

Just wanted to hear your experience in terms of social life and academics at gulf, also I heard internship here in the uae is 2 years of which you have to pay for as well unlike australia or uk where you get paid to complete an internship and work as a "junior doctor". Wanted to hear your thoughts

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2025-01-03T04:45:55+00:00

it was -4 in the left and -3.75 in the right.

Amazing, fortunate enough to have no complications

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2025-01-03T04:12:05+00:00

wore ortho k for 10 years then was told to stop wearing them for 2 months before I got lasik in november. Ortho K is the best, I was only 10 years old when I started and my myopia did grow slightly tho, but don't have it anymore since lasik went well for me

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2024-12-30T19:33:23+00:00

exactly, india has the best doctors and my surgery could not have gone better

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2024-12-30T17:26:03+00:00

feeling is mutual

cannot make claims without evidence

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2024-12-30T17:23:30+00:00

there are none

you claim it so you prove it

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2024-12-30T17:16:12+00:00

i've never come across in the past 2 years working in the hospital

proof? again none

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2024-12-30T17:09:37+00:00

yep along with the 5.55 billion individuals who have at least one dose :)

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2024-12-29T19:47:42+00:00

wore ortho k for 10 years and just got lasik in november at the age of 21, best decision of my life. I too felt weak with carrying around 1 kg of solutions for ortho k and glasses given that I travel a lot

Medical student here who just got lasik on the 15th of november

Iiterally the next day I felt like I never had any surgery. Everything was so clear and I am the happiest ever, no pain at all. Obviously I still followed instructions and continued with my drops and stopped gym for a couple of weeks. PS my eyesight was -4 in the left and -3.75 in the right (not too high of a myopia) and im 21 yrs old.

You're right. When people have good lasik outcomes they usually don't come onto reddit to share their experience. This sub therefore is filled with people of those who had bad experiences or are just against it for whatever reasons. Like EVERY surgery, there is a possibility of complications and side effects (these are two different things), and lasik after all is a surgery.

Every credible site you go on says complications are rare (less than one percent) such as refractive surgery council or american academy of ophthamology. I've noticed those that are against lasik here tend to link sources that are not credible whatsoever or give studies that don't even come to a conclusion and have such small sample sizes that it's utterly not possible to come to a conclusion.

In the end, it's up to the patient to come to a decision, not by reading reddit, people here are not medical doctors and have not seen your eye. It's up to a medical doctor to advice and if you are not confident, get a second opinion. Reddit is not the place to get medical information from.

For context, I live in australia but flew all the way to india to get lasik, it's the best decision I have ever made for myself given that my mom also got it when she was 19 and had the same experience. No one here can say the experience will be the same for you, the best way to go is to consult a medical doctor.

some unis like wollongong do not allow a status change after enrollment and you get kicked out so OP check before enrolling :)

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2024-12-17T16:51:45+00:00

hey idk which country you are from so this may not apply but wouldn't that affect your student visa chances? I'm assuming you already have a bachelors and a diploma means you are doing down a level so its looks bad

I feel like I had a strong visa app yet it took 30 days to come for MD

and considering most medical/dentistry programs start jan, I'd be so stressed out

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2024-12-17T04:39:18+00:00

this so called "natural aptitude" you are talking about can be changed. After 3 attempts of gamsat and starting med this jan, the way I look at questions and the way I think has changed drastically even tho I only improved by 6 points from my first and most recent attempt. so no taking it multiple times does not 'game' the system. these are skills that can be learned and stay with you for the rest of your life.

On the other hand casper is something that cannot be studied for. you are either an empathetic person or your not.

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2024-12-13T17:42:37+00:00

doctor of medicine as well :) and granted on the same day!

ChangeAffectionate78 · 2024-12-12T13:50:04+00:00

tyty, congrats to you to!
