Even though some things are a little different between the way the US does it and Australia does it, it's nice to see the similarities between them! Great video -loved the editing!

How can you be really confident and not get stressed through the interview? 🤔 How do you get a good impression?

@wjh7840 3 года назад

Really glad to get this advice from someone who literally has not started MD1 yet.

Hi, are there any provisional/garauntee entry pathways into medicine in Australia ? What unis offer this?

@miniblitz3971 3 года назад

Loved the vid! Can you do something similar for grad entry?

@ArcherNewton 3 года назад

Hi Miniblitz! What type of video would you like to hear about grad entry? How to get into med school through grad entry?

@miniblitz3971 3 года назад

@@ArcherNewton Yes! Particularly the post-gamsat experience, because I feel like a lot of the videos ive seen focus on the gamsat a lot.

hi archer, how was your ucat score to get into UNSW? (I know you got a 99.95 ATAR so I was wondering what the other component was like)

@ArcherNewton 2 года назад

I'm actually hoping to make a video on ucat including scores and how to interpret them!

@za9978 3 года назад

Hi, I am in year 11. I would like to know more about year 13. do you mean if I repeat year 12 will I still have to take English and go to school like a normal year 12 or is it going to be different? did you graduate from a private school or a government and does it really matter on getting high or low atar? thanks

@ArcherNewton 3 года назад

Hi, I am not sure how it works in your state but I think if you have completed english you don’t have to do it again. I graduated from a private school, and realised that it can be easier to get a high ATAR because of the support provided. However, I don’t think a government school necessarily limits you, you can still achieve as high as you want, but it will require you to be a bit more of an independent learner. Good luck!

@khadija8443 3 года назад

Could you make a video on how to do well in maths ?

@ArcherNewton 3 года назад

Hi Khadija! Good idea - the main thing is just to understand the foundations of everything you learn (the WHY) and then supplementing this with plenty of practice problems varying in difficulty. Hope this helps!

Just a general question so I’m currently going into year 12 after this next term I want to study accounting and corporate finance and the ATAR requirement is 85 what kind of grades sit in that ATAR range?

@ArcherNewton 4 года назад

Hi Skipz, it really depends on your subjects but anything from B to A- should get you an 85 (try for A's to keep it safe). Thanks!

@jacobformato3298 4 года назад

Archer Newton thank you! I’m doing pretty general subjects such as general English, general math, business and accounting

@ArcherNewton 4 года назад

With those subjects you'll probably need to be in the A band. Good luck! :)

@audreyahmed2048 3 года назад

I was just wondering on what subjects you chose for VCE/HSC/IB to make medicine a bit easier. Is doing all the sciences (chemistry, biology, physics) necessary or will doing two of them suffice?

@ArcherNewton 3 года назад

Hi Audrey, you’ll have to check with each university’s entry requirements. Some have subject prerequisites and some have pre assumed knowledge. Typically biology and chemistry are useful, but definitely check with each uni individually :)

@audreyahmed2048 3 года назад

Thanks! :)

@byrongronning1144 3 года назад

When did you first know that medicine was something that you really wanted to do?

@ArcherNewton 3 года назад

after a close family member got sick and I spent quite a bit of time in medical settings :)

@brodyvincent3119 4 года назад

Hey Archer! I am currently studying year 12 this year but am planning on sitting the UCAT next year. I was wondering if you knew what preferences I should put down on my Uni application? Do I still put Doctor of medicine or just choose another course and try to transfer?

@ArcherNewton 4 года назад

Hi! You can still put it up as your top preferences but what were you planning to do as another course? I personally would have redone some year 12 subjects in year 13 and focused the whole year on the UCAT to make sure that I would get in the next round.

@brodyvincent3119 4 года назад

Archer Newton so basically I wanted to focus on year 12 this year then study for the UCAT next year whilst doing either a physiotherapist or paramedic course, sit the UCAT next year then transfer into medicine the year after. However I don’t know whether or not to put it as a preference or not as I have not sat the UCAT yet

@ArcherNewton 4 года назад

In that case, it would just end up being a wasted preferences as they will just reject you for not meeting the prerequisites (i.e. not sitting the UCAT). Have you considered the alternative path of not heading straight into a degree? Your choices for undergrad med schools to apply to once in your first year of uni decreases significantly, including chances. Please let me know if you have any questions!

@lavaboy1565 3 года назад

@@ArcherNewton thinking of going this route, but it would be harder to get into med since getting a high gpa in eng is much harder than in med science.

@ArcherNewton 3 года назад

@@lavaboy1565 I agree that engineering was conceptually harder but in med sci, it's extremely competitive since everyone is trying to get into medicine. So while it may be easier, you gotta try even harder to do better than the rest. Also it's kinda hard to comment since the variability between many unis' degrees for eng and med sci change all the time. Even if med sci is easier, I'd still choose something with a job at the end of the line instead of med sci, nursing, speech path, etc etc

@lavaboy1565 3 года назад

@@ArcherNewton oh I was under the impression that med schools don’t care about the degree you are doing, but rather the gpa of the degree u r doing

@ArcherNewton 3 года назад

@@lavaboy1565 They don't for the most part. They do offer some sub quotas for people who do medical science degrees for example, but I don't think it's worth the risk of graduating without a good job at the end of the line. In terms of actually comparing student to student, yes they just care about the gpa.
