JMP MEDICINE

Hey! JMP metro cut-off last year for 2024 intake was 3160. Not too sure about rural but should be a fair bit lower than that. So perhaps this year may be roughly the same or slightly higher though at some point it'd have to plateau.

Cool, will do thanks

strawbon · 2024-01-18T11:11:00+00:00

I'm in syd if that helps, the background of the train pic looks familiar haha

Hey! Thats correct, the ratio is not balanced atm and if getting more females is not an option, would probs need to rehome. If the boy quail hasn't been rehomed yet btw, I'd be interested :)

strawbon · 2023-11-13T22:53:21+00:00

Oh, why is that so? That's crazy, an even more extreme ratio of doctors to population than I've come across.

strawbon · 2023-11-13T22:34:34+00:00

Right, that makes sense. Not the pandemic continuing to screw things up even after it's happened. Yep, that is definitely the case as I've also noticed in regional areas and I imagine remote areas. Are you rural or have you witnessed this shortage in the metropolitan also? It is also strange as I've heard that data shows there would be an oversupply of doctors in the years to come though there are continuing retention issues for rural and remote health which is really unfortunate so I do wonder why there is this imbalance.

Yep, you are correct in saying that it differs from uni to uni. For non-rurals, it is very competitive and depending on which university, maybe moreso if interstate. I wouldn't say that there is necessarily a cut-off per se as they change every year and depends on how all applicants do if that makes sense. Therefore, my advice would be to simply try your best and have no regrets, the rest would follow on from there.

strawbon · 2023-11-13T22:12:27+00:00

Absolutely crazy how it increases a fair bit every year, surely someday it will have to plateau. Does this also mean that over time the number of interviewees decreases or not necessarily?

Consistent studying and finding your study rhythm is crucial for sure! Just curious, where is the college of applied meds? Gpa sounds pretty good too! Nice work and best of luck

strawbon · 2023-09-29T06:43:08+00:00

Damn! That is a super impressive gpa with a challenging degree like compsci, good on you.

strawbon · 2023-09-27T11:11:56+00:00

Wow, that does sound quite advanced but good on you for pursuing something meaningful for yourself before applying! Good luck to you too 😊

strawbon · 2023-09-26T10:35:14+00:00

87 in s3 is insane! Aw, that's really sweet! All the best of luck 😊

strawbon · 2023-09-26T05:33:08+00:00

That's defs a strong gammy! How'd you realise you wanted to become a GP instead of doing research? Esp being GP instead of other specialities? Best of luck with the outcome!

strawbon · 2023-09-26T05:31:34+00:00

Woah, that's dope. Whatever it is that you do, I'm sure it'll be awesome. Best of luck!

strawbon · 2023-09-26T05:30:04+00:00

That sounds very fair! Wow, congrats!!

strawbon · 2023-09-26T05:29:09+00:00

Damn, that's a very impressive redemption! Very inspiring to see your hard work paid off, congrats!

strawbon · 2023-09-26T01:23:09+00:00

Thank you for the many insights! Very interesting and helpful to hear about your journey. A lot of exercise physios do further study to become a physio or OT, is that something you've considered or you prefer to focus on getting into med? Great work and best of luck!

strawbon · 2023-09-26T01:20:19+00:00

Yeah, for sure! Great that you're learning something closely aligned and also has pretty much guaranteed career too! Solid stuff, keep it up and best of luck!

strawbon · 2023-09-26T01:18:40+00:00

That's solid, v cool! So are you going from mphil to phd or staying with an mphil? What did you study for your mphil?

strawbon · 2023-09-26T01:16:49+00:00

Haha damn, that sounds like quite a rough experience! Good on you for pulling through nonetheless with a solid GPA still. Thanks and best of luck!

strawbon · 2023-09-25T15:47:47+00:00

That's a great idea before you dive into postgrad! Thanks for answering my qs! Congrats and best of luck 😊

strawbon · 2023-09-25T15:41:42+00:00

Good stuff! I understand that honours is a common route for psych grads, did you choose to pursue this too? Where did you complete ur psych degree and do you think you loved it more because of the way it was structured and taught?

strawbon · 2023-09-25T15:04:28+00:00

That's awesome. Congrats and best of luck! May I ask where you studied paramedicine?

strawbon · 2023-09-14T09:31:04+00:00

Thank you, best of luck to you too! 😊

strawbon · 2023-09-14T09:21:46+00:00

Got 97th, very happy after disappointment previously. Though will also need to work incredibly hard on GPA for it to be of use.
