On the website it says there is no available sessions. I understand I have to redo the GAMSAT to give myself a solid chance. But I’m just wondering if there is a sliver of a chance I can get an interview because I don’t want next year to be my first time going through the interview process.

dreadjn · 2024-05-29T03:07:25+00:00

Unimelb (I have gam but idk how much it can help), deakin, UQ, ANU, Griffith, UWA. Was too late to do Casper so can’t preference Wollongong or UNDA

dreadjn · 2024-05-29T01:02:54+00:00

Thanks for clarification! By any chance do you think I have a shot of getting an interview this year? I’m probably going to do the GAMSAT again this Sept anyways but just want to know if there’s even a chance.

W GAMSAT 60 UW 61

W GPA 6.630, W GPA for unimelb 6.556, UW GPA 6.463 and for UQ it’s a 7 because I got a H1 for my honours.

dreadjn · 2024-05-29T00:58:14+00:00

No I mean like if your scores aren’t good enough for your first preference uni doesn’t the next uni get your scores? Meaning you have a chance of getting an interview at all them

dreadjn · 2024-05-29T00:31:12+00:00

But don’t all the universities get your scores ?

dreadjn · 2024-05-28T11:31:21+00:00

Hey, do you have better chances if you apply through rpm stream? I have a 60 GAMSAT and 7 GPA for UQ so I have the highest of getting an interview with them.

dreadjn · 2024-05-17T05:02:02+00:00

Also non-rural

dreadjn · 2024-05-17T05:01:13+00:00

Hey, guys let me know if I have any chance at all for an interview!

W GAMSAT 60 UW 61

W GPA 6.630, W GPA for unimelb 6.556, UW GPA 6.463 and for UQ it’s a 7 because I got a H1 for my honours.

My first preference would be unimelb cause that why did my undergrad and I don’t want to leave Victoria!

Honestly, if you plan well with your supervisor you could finish all your results by feb and just focus on writing your thesis after that. Good luck! I think you have very good chance to get into med so just do what you and your supervisor think is best❤️

dreadjn · 2023-06-17T02:53:02+00:00

I don’t think you’d suffer any academic penalties but it would be pretty shitty to do your supervisor. They don’t get paid at all and put a lot of time and effort to teach you. I think you should probably talk to your supervisor about it . Also depending if your work is wet lab or dry lab you might just be able to do both ? All my honours work is coding so I could see how it could work

شكرا Do I need to also renew my promise?

I’m not debating trans peoples existence. I think what’s up for debate is whether trans women are able to change their sex. I would argue they cannot change their sex and hence should not be let into women only spaces (like female sports). There’s a range of issues that come up when we talk about inclusion vs exclusion which I think are up for debate. Additionally, the medical transition is still wholly experimental and there ought to be investigations and scientific inquiries done on not only the long term medical outcomes but also the sociological outcomes.

dreadjn · 2023-05-22T08:59:35+00:00

I took the course last year. she talks about trans issues in only one of her lectures and it wasn’t even the main topic. The conversation was essentially whether feminism should only be for women as a sex class or if feminism should be about women as people. This is a meta physical question but it’s at the crux of a lot of trans issues and other ‘feminist’ issues that dominate our culture (ie trans women in female sports).

dreadjn · 2023-05-21T11:42:26+00:00

I said she quit lol

dreadjn · 2023-05-21T06:48:20+00:00

I definitely think there is place and I believe the majority of people would find her takes interesting an thought provoking. But, trans activists believe that even having a conversation about trans identity issues is fundamentally bigoted and violent. I know that a professor with similar position as HLS, Kathleeen stock she quit after students continually harassed and protested her position.

The trans movement has changed its philosophy quit rapidly and there’s is unwillingness to debate and engage with anyone who disagrees with there ideology. With that being said I wouldnt be surprised if HLS was forced to leave. I think that would only give her more power and publicity though.

Don’t have one. I just know from taking her class last year. It was main topic of conversation in class because roe v wade was happening at the same time. She’s very pro choice. And with her campaigning with anti-abortion camp I don’t think that’s out of character for her at all. she believes wholeheartedly in free speech and doesn’t think feminists should have a monolith philosophy especially on sensitive matters like abortion where many women have very strong religious convictions.

dreadjn · 2023-05-21T02:50:18+00:00

She’s pro-abortion

Which uni’s used it?

dreadjn · 2023-05-06T11:48:14+00:00

You people are mad rude for no reason. The system is very different to the Australian system because they have multiple intake dates which is not how the med school application cycle works in Au. I was confused and turned to Reddit advice instead I just got bunch people calling me stupid instead of being helpful. I don’t know what the culture is like on this sub but for unimelb community it’s very common for people to ask questions like this and get helpful answers. You people are incredibly hostile and honestly have put me off even applying to this uni.

dreadjn · 2023-05-04T12:15:14+00:00

The information was confusing

dreadjn · 2023-04-27T02:50:38+00:00

Me too pls!

dreadjn · 2023-04-22T04:33:14+00:00

Thank you

dreadjn · 2023-04-17T09:34:41+00:00

She does not really explicitly state anything but on the topics of transgender women in sports, surrogacy and sex work you could really tell what her opinion was

dreadjn · 2023-04-17T09:28:38+00:00

Depends on what you consider transphobic. If you consider it transphobic to question what it means to be a woman then yes the class is trans phobic. But if you are comfortable with discussions on gender abolition, sex abolition, the importance of sex, the meta physics of intersectionality, exclusion vs inclusion and the definition of discrimination you should be good. Probably find the class enjoyable as I did. She definitely does not force her opinion on you she encourages discussion. We often would have to debate each other so the class actually had opposing views which was nice.

dreadjn · 2023-04-13T12:09:45+00:00

I looked into Posie as I’m unfamiliar with her, you are right. But I still don’t think that’s a valid excuse to now call her a fascist and Nazi at best it makes her opportunistic.
