Just got an offer for Monash med as an intl, and can’t wait to join on campus physically! (through the boarder restrictions 😮💨) btw such a comprehensive and well-explained video 🙌
WOW congratulations!! hopefully borders can open by next year and you'll be able to meet all your peers face to face rather than on zoom like i am :') thanks for watching and see you around soon!!
@@georgecao1856 Ok. Since u are accepted already, did you start first yr online? How was it? Do they allow international medical students to take minimum credit load?
@@keirapascual5425 I got the offer but it’s for 22 Feb entry, so I haven’t started yet. I don’t think there’s any difference between domestic and intl regarding min credit load, we all have to finish a certain amount in order to graduate
hey yebin :) i'm starting year 12 soon, so I had a couple of extra questions about undergraduate medical application/year 12 studies: 1. How did you structure your study outside of school and tutoring, and any tips for studying and preparing for getting a good atar? 2. What was your personal timeline for the UCAT? I am currently practising without timed conditions and I am planning to move onto timed practice after I consistently get a high score for each section. Would this be a smart method, or should I just work under timed conditions now? (i.e. I have already attempted timed practice many times, and I realised that I'm not too good yet under time pressure except for qr, dm and sjt) 3. How did you prepare for the interviews, and make sure your responses meet the criteria of the school?
Hi Chaewon! Best of luck for Year 12 this year, here are my answers to each of your questions: 1. I realised that for me personally, setting out specific time periods and schedules for when I would study did not work. So instead I set myself 3 specific tasks I would definitely finish (eg. Half of Chapter 12C for Methods, Research for Legal Studies project, Plan for English Essay). This made studying much more bitesized and approachable. Remember to check my video '5 steps to ace VCE' (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1r0jdzmBiJ4.html) for more info! Also, I think something a lot of people forget is how much your English subject counts towards your ATAR (because it has to be one of your top 4 subjects!!) so always remember to take care of your English subject. 2. I think time management is one of the most crucial elements for preparing for the UCAT!! I would definitely recommend preparing with exam conditions in place, but make sure you're not just aimlessly going through question banks- take note of what kind of questions / wording / patterns you struggle with the most. At the end of the day, your performance depends on your exam skills NOT your knowledge (because you could easily have a blank mind). It's definitely not too late to start practicing with timed conditions so see if you can regularly do that! 3. I've actually been uploading a set of videos on how to answer MMI questions last month, so I'd recommend you watch this video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ME9Gb_VsPVY.html) for more info! However, I want to assure you that you don't have to prepare for the interviews until you get an invitation- I had 1 week to prepare between the day I got my offer and the day of my interview, and that was enough to get me an offer! So focus on your VCE and UCAT for now :) Hope these answers were helpful!!
Omg queen iconic 😍! Love the clip at the end LOL Love your video - how was your UCAT score? And yeah I agree about the subjects part. Like literally I didn’t do VCE but HSC in NSW and the experience is similar. There were so many people who picked Physics cuz “ScALiNG” but flopped because they didn’t like it and didn’t study it. There was someone in my year who picked humanities and Standard Maths; absolutely LOVED his subjects and got a 97.5 ATAR which was the second highest in my year below mine. He beat all the other kids who did extension and high level subjects! You can’t guarantee anything by scaling!!! Honestly just do what you enjoy because people who play by their strengths and passion will be motivated to study and score higher!!
Hihi Yebin!:) Thank you for making all these vlogs ~ its extremly informative! I'm a bit late to this comment section, but did you prefer legal or history in VCE? Which one did you think was more harder/time consuming and which one was more interesting! Im currently enjoying yr 10 history.. but ig it wont hurt to know the opinion from students who have tackled two of my top subjects.
Hey! Legal and History both have its pros and cons- personally I think the best way to put it is that Legal is easier in terms of assessments and exams but History is more interesting and engaging (I did Russian and American Revolution!). Because both are content heavy subjects, I recommend you do Legal 3/4 in Year 11 if you have the option to, then do History 3/4 in Year 12- but I did both in Year 12 and it worked out for me! If you continue to enjoy both and have the opportunity to do both, definitely pursue both :) Hope that helps!
Hi yebin I applied to Monash about 2 months ago in mid-august I completed IB in May and my UCAT in August itself. By when should I hear back for my interview? Btw Congrats on getting an offer from Monash!
Hi Tiffany! Thank you for your kind words :)) The PhD pathway is coupled with the BMedSci (1 extra research year), meaning it is an additional 2 - 3 years on top of the 5 year course + 1 research year. This does mean your graduation is delayed by 3 - 4 years compared to those who choose not to do research, but if research is something you're interested in, definitely pursue this awesome opportunity! (But also remember there are so many more opportunities to do research / PhD after graduating med school too!)
Saludos Yang, te escribo desde Ecuador, quiero preguntarte si eres la atleta Coreana Universitaria de los 400 metros, gracias por responderme. Que tengas un excelente día ❤
Cannot Believe I just saw this video now! Yebin you did a great job! I was just wondering, can you become a GP through the course you are taking and what is the minimum atar needed for this course? Thanks again Yebin😁
Hi Neilansh! Thank you for your kind words :)) To become a GP in Australia, you need to graduate a medical course like the one I am taking (5 years), finish internship (2 years), and if you're lucky, get into a specialty program straight after internship in the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) (3-4 years). At the end of this journey you will be a fully registered GP! The minimum ATAR for medicine changes every year depending on the competition and special considerations of different students, but if you are a domestic student not living rurally / without any SEAS, you should aim for 99+ ATAR. Hope this helps!
Hi thank you so much for this video. I'm in ninth grade and look forward to become a doctor. Is it ok if you can make a video on how to help grow your atar? And how you got your atar to get into Monash? Thank you so much again.
Hey Angelixx Plays, thanks so much for your kind words!! Yes that sounds like a great idea- I've definitely been asked to do this by a few people so I will get to creating a video about doing well in high school. Stay tuned!
Hi, thanks for watching! There are a variety of scholarships and programs offered for international students. You can find a comprehensive list on the Monash University website, or any other Australian university.
Hello I just wanna ask you if medicine of Monash university require SAT FOR INTERNATIONAL student yes or no ?? does I need that or no it is not important ????????
Hey! I'm not too sure about what the application process is for international students, but I do know that some of my international friends in the course got in through various systems including the SAT, IB, MUFY and GCSE. For accurate information I would suggest contacting Monash University! Hope this helps.
hello! there are a variety of scholarships which offer up to 100% off tuition fees depending on your course, achievement, personal circumstances and application. i would highly recommend searching ‘monash university international scholarships’ as there is a list on their website with details and requirements for each!
Hey Yebin the video was very helpful! However I got a bit lost at the elective explanation, so I was wondering if you could please elaborate more on what a fixed schedule is as I am confused wether that means we do subjects like maths, physics ect for a couple of periods like in school + our med course or just purely our med course but split into electives e.g physiology first 2 periods and anatomy the next. Thank you girl 😊🙏
hey thanks for watching! med is different to other courses in that there is a fixed curriculum that you have to follow (unlike other courses where you get to preference specific units and courses you want to study). you have 1-2 hour classes, each focussing on different parts of medicine (physiology, clinical skills, learning new conditions, etc) spread across the week. uni itself is more self study than time in class so you only tend to have 4-6 classes a week (meaning you’re only at uni for 2-4hours a day, sometimes less!).
