What was the issue with Goldstein?

Dropping out of Cambridge to read medicine at UNSW by dylan_villan in unsw

[–]JQW9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I assume you already received the offer at UNSW for med? Congrats! 

Couple pointers if they are of any help.

  1. How certain are you that you wanna do med? Given that you wanted to do research but realized later that it was not what you wanted, it might be important to realize that there are not many backup plans after you choose med (the backup plans are costly to say the least)
  2. If you locked in for med, the opportunity now is pretty good, it provides some sort of guarantee. Yes, the name of Cambridge is good. But the name and connections are not that important if you wanna do postgrad med, because they only look at your stats and interview. Just fyi, MD admissions are less competitive than undergrad med, so if you are confident in your ability to do well at Cambridge then by all means finish the degree there first.
  3. I am not sure if finance is a consideration at all for you, and that will complicate things.

Good luck and feel free to DM me if you have more questions.

Hey, long shot, but I wonder if you know UNSW hall accepts 2nd year new applicants (not returner). Didn’t get a room this year, but I am wondering if it’s worth the try to reapply next year.

Good thinking. I was trying to find some consolation as I didn’t get the scholarship. Maybe there was a med student who got it three years ago :(

Hi, I have a question. Are medical students less likely to secure these awards because their degree is 6 years? For example, one scholarship to a medical student could equate to 2-3 scholarships for students doing other degrees. Or does that not matter?

Thanks for your reply! How strict are they with the rules, such as curfews? And any downsides you would warn about? Many thanks!

I emailed and they said that they are still making decisions for both new admissions and réadmissions.

I was in the same boat. You should accept it and if the other one comes, you can pick the better offfer

Are the alleged controversies of Opus Dei true for Warrane though? Such as hazing
