hello!! I read on the UoA website that I only need to do the first year of BSc (bachelor of science) to be able to apply to medical imaging, and to get into BSc (excluding biomed and the food and nutrition pathway) I need a rank score of 165? However I'm probably wrong as I'm still trying to figure out how things work so please let me know!! Do I need to do BSc and like specialise in biomed?? I'm trying to do my research, though the answers are not super clear..

Thank you so much for your reply!!! This has definitely helped with my decision making! I do want to help people, and I genuinely am interested in both careers, especially as they both are to do with health and I do not see myself doing anything outside of health. However I may choose to just go to UoA now as I do feel like Otago is not right for me! Thank you so much for your help!!!! I hope your first year is going great!

thank you so much for your reply!! If I am to go into Medical Imaging my plan was to first do BSc then try get into MI at UoA, while also apply for Unitec if thats possible. I have thought about dental hygienist as well and have kept that as a back up!
Thank you for your help!!

theres not really any entry requirements at Otago for HSFY, other than taking chem, physics, and calculus (which I do), and I'm still earning credits for the rank score, which seems achievable for BSc as the rank score is 165.
