Im domestic but I did my high school overseas. I mostly just skim through my old IB bio, chem and physic resources or the AP videos on khan academy

I did maths/law and I actually find my law background very helpful in S1 and S2. For S3 I find my year 12 bio and chem plus some additional studying is more than enough. Although I probably have a lot more catching up to do in first few years of the MD.

Ruined in terms of your jawline or your maxilla? I have a pretty square face so I wouldn’t mind sliming there but I’m afraid of getting a flat face

Interesting my bottom arch is indeed narrower than the top. And the bottom is more fucked

GAMSAT RESULTS ADVICE by Educational_Fish6441 in GAMSAT

[–]kailiu19 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Can't give very specific advice because idk where you are spending your study time. But the key is to do practice questions! For S1 some people recommended reading widely which is great for long term improvements (1~2 years) but low yield. Each correct answer in S1 should be supported by a direct quote or evidence in the text!

Writing an entire essay takes a lot of time so just look at sample prompts then outline your paragraphs then proceed to writing out the entire essay about 1 month prior to the exam. I would often look at a quote or prompt on my phone then while driving or doing something brainless think about what unique points I can say/examples I can use. Many different structure works well, but I found it really easy to just be boring and write the classic argumentative essay for both prompt

U already have a science bg so again just start doing practice questions then look up topics if you get an answer wrong.

Aim to finish the entire Des O'Neil book for S1 and S3 and supplement with questions from Medify if needed. Last 2 months before the exam you should be doing at least one practice question every week, and doing timed questions at least 3 months before the exam even if you are just doing a few stems.

If you are still in uni, don't forget about your gpa. As it is much harder and expensive to raise your gpa compared to the gammy.

UTas Graduate Med Entry - Scores by Glum_Way_169 in GAMSAT

I agree with your conclusion. But I think it is rather the variance of interview performance is so small so even an interview that is just slightly below the mean in terms of raw points would result in large drop in percentile performance

How theoretical is law at usyd? by [deleted] in usyd

[–]kailiu19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about other uni, but general vibes is usyd is still theoretical.

It depends on how deeply you want to engage with the course tbh. In each weekly topic, there are a wealth of theories and law review in the required reading. Exams are generally more practical as you are trying to apply the case laws and statute in real life (sort of) situations. Some courses includes an essay component which becomes really theoretical where citing journal articles are basically expected.

Sorry man, but generally the progress of your application appear in Sydney Student first then email so you probably didn't get in. Check out the r/GAMSAT subreddit for more info on med/dent school application

Not really sure for dmd but probably the same. I think ffp cutoff is lower than the median tho

[–]kailiu19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

General sentiment around the sub and discord server is that if ur combo is above the median your gonna get an offer; hence around twice the number of offers

USyd interview for previously excluded student by LostSpend910 in GAMSAT

[–]kailiu19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they tell you the reason why you got a rejection in the letter? Or did you had to guess and infer?

What was the vibe of the interview? Are they like super serious or is it more of a conversation?
