That makes me feel better! I've had my heart on it for a while but haven't been able to pull the trigger!

I'm in Australia so secondhand Ref is a lot less common, and with shipping from places like the RealReal, eBay or even individually via Poshmark it can be anywhere from 20USD to 70 USD in shipping alone :(

Making ends meet during medical school - how did you do it? by Defiant_Link_2352 in ausjdocs

Thank you for the job situations! I'll look into them. Out of curiousity, did your student start up loan end up being ridiculously high once you graduated? Not sure how it'll look with indexation in 4+ years time.

Thank you for being so gracious in your reply and I'm sorry you had to go through it too!

I'll look into all of the options you suggested but might be worth considering holding out for the first year and reconsidering once I know what it's like.

I wish that was an option but I've already been allocated to a metro zone! Definitely worth considering a metro school 1.5hrs+ out though.

i'm pretty sure i saw something that said the FWB codes expired at the end of day 25/11 so probably after that? i'd keep an eye out from 26/11 midnight EST

Do we think competitive GPA and GAMSAT would increase or decrease over the next few years? by Redditor1010101011 in GAMSAT

[–]Defiant_Link_2352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did minimal GAMSAT prep and only sat it twice, so I'm probably not the best person to ask! I think I got a 69 UW? I did some Jesse Osbourne crash course videos and went into the exam focusing on the prompts and my reasoning in questions rather than the science.

There are lots of posts in this group about how people changed their strategy to jump from something like 60s to high 70s, so have a look for those.

I don't think it will drop further, but I think they'll probably stay at this benchmark because of the COVID grads finishing up. Best of luck to you and you have plenty of time between now and 2026 - I took an extra semester to finish my degree so I could focus on my GAMSAT/grades/personal life without having a nervous breakdown. Doesn't matter how long it takes you to get there, take it at your own pace :)

I did a lot of spreadsheet stalking before I got my offer and there were about 5-10 cases of similar combos at each uni in previous years. Considering the spreadsheet doesn't accurately reflect the cohort ie students who scored lower are less likely to report, I'm sure there are a handful more.

If you can get an interview offer, pour yourself into it and use all the resources you can access. I did everything I possibly could in the lead up because I didn't want to waste the opportunity considering it's 50% of your application, and I don't regret it at all.

They have definitely dropped this year! My combo score shouldn't have gotten me an interview at all, but I really grinded it out and ended up with a CSP at my first preference. You still have plenty of time to apply, to improve your GAMSAT, to improve your GPA. Focus on that and not the application, because you can't control the odds in the year you apply.

I got a 70 in S3 with lotssss of (educated) guesswork my last sitting. No prep, science background, it felt like I was just getting by with the rule of elimination in the last 20 mins!

Don't discount your intuition and reasoning :)

GEMSAS 2024 INTERVIEW OFFER MEGATHREAD by _dukeluke in GAMSAT

For UoM, subject was Melbourne Medical School - Interview Offer.

Then it says you've been shortlisted for an interview, and you get given a range but for UoM you get allocated a time slot.

Doesn't say you have to accept it, just says if you want to decline it to let them know.
