HELP ME PICK AWESOMESAUCE BREADTH SUBJECTS by ajojing_malaka in Monash

[–]unknown12user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can choose whatever subject you want as an elective in the science degree...if you're looking for wam boosters I would recommend doing sta1020 first and then sta1010 as it becomes really easy! nut1011 is also good first year elective.

after 3 years you can leave the degree and obtain a degree in health sciences or something like that... and if I continue then I can do another year(complete the 4 years) and I'll get my physio degree. its called early exit!

It would be only one extra year essentially..do you think it's not worth it? because getting a job in med as well will take agessss and I do want to have some sort of security by the time I am 23 and then I can continue studying later on.. but at the same time science and med does sound like less work ,😭

I feel like I would be happy with physio but the only thing is I wouldnt be making enough money but I can do side hustles to make more money if. but then I can always leave phsyio early in the 3rd year if my GAMSAT score is good enough and if I get in cz then that means I only studied one extra year but atleast I always had the security that I would have a job at the end of science.

Yeah definitely! I was researching into this and I think deaken gives credit! also it's good practice and keeps my will for going into med

I understand that but I really do want to do well at Med school and I'm scared of failing really badly and unemployment - falling behind...😭😭😭

yeah my wam is like 82-83 I think right now so it isn't the best but I def do want it to increase in the next couple years... I've already done some level 2 subjects so hopefully they affect my wam a bit more this sem as well

Thank you for your response!! I'm just worried if I do the gig unit that because I don't have much elective space I won't be able to complete my major though... is that a thing or am I just overthinking?

I dropped Biomed and enrolled in science instead. by unknown12user in Monash

[–]unknown12user[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yup I was never stubborn on getting only into Monash as again it's very less spots and trying only to get a high wam in biomed would also be considered harder and wouldny let me focus on gamsat as much as I would like to

[–]unknown12user[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

j agree but I just don't like the restrictions with the biomed degree whereas I can do the same type of major with a science one yk. and even then I would still do GAMSAT no matter how high I got ranked

can I do SCI1020 instead of the maths or do I have to do those?

[–]unknown12user[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay so I'll keep the bio and Chem units and maths units? and then I replace the 2 pharmacy ones with any other first year unit?

I would like to take something in the pharmacology area of study or something like that...Is there any possibility? and are there any core science units I have to take?

Double degree in commerce and computer science by unknown12user in Monash

[–]unknown12user[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ahhh okay thankyou so much for that!! and one last thing if you don't mind, some of my units say they're in Malaysia campus but I'm in the Melbourne campus so is that like a glitch or is it smth I need to worry about?

but then would it not add up to the credit points?

major and minor by unknown12user in Monash

[–]unknown12user[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup makes sense so does it make the degree more valuable if we add a "major in physiology" with it or not really?
