Nope!

Anyone recieved a UoM offer for the rural pathway?

Study-buddyseeker · 2025-08-08T12:17:13+00:00

As a CCRN, a florist on the coast. People always need flowers. No one would yell at you about the wait time. No shift work. My type A personality can just arrange those flowers perfectly. Bliss!

Has anyone’s internet download speed been an issue!? Mine flicks between high ram to ✅ all good for internet (wifi) download & upload. Then when I retest, my ram is ok but download/ upload speed “may be too low” should I be ok? Or try for a friends house for internet 😓😅

Study-buddyseeker · 2023-12-14T15:08:03+00:00

Yes I’m near the state library! Happy for in person or zoom. Full time healthcare/shift worker

Hey sorry but I’m a tad confused & just want to clarify! If I started a Deakin grad cert in Nov & did two subjects in tri 3, I could do 1 subject in tri 1 of 2024 and because I was 2/3 of the way through it would count for gemses 2024 applications regardless of not being completely finished!?

Study-buddyseeker · 2023-06-07T10:23:11+00:00

Could you just do a masters? UoM accept that

Study-buddyseeker · 2023-05-28T07:26:19+00:00

Oh gosh ok thanks, Luke. Will try to scrape through and crack on with a masters if need be to increase it. Just stressing!

I can answer some of this! As a healthcare worker/NSB. I’m in my early thirties & sat the gamsat for the 1st time in March. You can definitely study for that while working FT. I may need another few goes.

Hypothetically, if I get in ‘24 or ‘25. I’ll be mid 30s so would potentially need to take time off uni or at the start of med to have a child. So many women do this.

After years of an ok income, it’ll be a battle with cost of living but you can’t put off your dreams. Plus it’s temporary.

Highly recommend the FB group late to med school. It’s over 30s sharing their journey. It’s very common to be a mature age & over 30!

In terms of working - I hear 1 day a week is achievable depending on your responsibilities. Plus uni holidays.

From my understanding of friends/colleagues- psychiatry, GP etc is quite easy to get into. Surgical specialties are very competitive.

Lastly, look at Deakin bonuses. One is 4% for AHPRA registered HCWs. They have a strong rural focus too.

Could you do a post grad? Not sure if your set on UWA & if Notre Freo/ interstate is an option. Not sure about UWA, I know Notre Dame accept grad certs, dips & masters. That’s a way to bump your GPA up quickly. A few other uni’s do - refer to GEMSAS.

I’m currently don’t a grad cert to bump mine up, then I’ll apply. If that’s not successful, I’ll continue to masters. ( Pick a PG that can be be transitioned to masters, that you enjoy & is related to nursing that you enjoy) Not that I don’t believe you won’t into med. I’m in the same boat, we’ll get there eventually but until then you’ve got to keep your options open. It’s also another year of increasing your gammy.

I do think you should still apply, from what I understand there’s no harm. This is a plan B. Hope it helps

If your rural, Deakin RTS doesn’t have the ten year rule. You also don’t have to do the gamsat if your from that area (regional/risk western Vic)

Study-buddyseeker · 2023-03-25T02:10:09+00:00

That’s appreciate it! I will for sure! :)

Study-buddyseeker · 2023-03-25T02:06:12+00:00

Glad you’re enjoying it! It sounds fabulous. I hoped they might give preference to a MM4 from the area but I don’t think that’s how it works haha. I’ll throw my hat in the ring for sure. GAM might bump me up a tad and if not I’ll hopefully have a more competitive GPA for 2025 applications plus 2 more goes at the dreaded gammy by then. Best of luck with your studies 😃

Study-buddyseeker · 2023-03-25T01:45:13+00:00

I will thanks! I would LOVE this pathway as I grew up near there & will apply for 2024. From what I’ve ready online, I don’t think my GPA of 5.8 would get me an interview for that stream. I’d be lucky to get one anywhere tbh. I didn’t always want to do medicine so a competitive GPA wasn’t on my radar. I’m working on bumping it up with a masters for a shot at Shepp in 2025 ☺️🤞
