Yeah from a friend of mine, MBBS sounds dry and very in-depth..
I guess its worth it in the end. So how does MBSS work, like
after the 4 years you do an internship, and then you find an
actual job?
Biomed is alright so far, struggling with chemistry and maths
though, not my strengths at the moment. Biology is looking good
though, and computing (my breadth) is pretty hard, but it is
doable I guess :)

That's true, according to the second years, it gets much more
interesting in Sem 2 because we get to work on cadavers while
Sem 1 is purely theory. LOL I hope so, honestly I'm going into
this blindly because I wasn't even aiming for med in the first
place :-X I know it's 5 years; 2 years at Clayton then the final
3 at a clinical setting (I think it's pre-clinical years).
Beyond that, I have no idea so I'm not the best person to ask,
sorry :(
Glad to hear biology is working out for you, hope chem and maths
will ease up as you progress ;D Computing sounds quite
interesting, hopefully it'll boost that GPA of yours and that
you can use it for your core subjects :D

Oh so MBBS is a 5 year course? I thought it was only 4 years :)
So do the MBBS students needs to maintain a certain GPA in order
to actually apply for a job? Like for us biomed people, we need
to have a certain GPA and GAMSAT score in order to apply for
post grad MD.

Yup, for undergrads, and it's 4 years for postgrad (which is
probably the one you were thinking of). Both courses are the
same but while undergrad has Years 1-5, postgrad has Years A-D.
Year A = Year 1 and Year 2, which is how postgrad's 4 years
instead of 5.
Hmm I'm not too sure on that actually, I should probably ask the
coordinators so I know what I'm actually getting myself into XD
I would assume that a higher GPA means a higher chance of
getting a job? But overall I'd assume everyone ends up with the
same degree anyway (apparently it can be differentiated based on
class of honours though...I'm not sure if it affects anything
though like job outcomes). I definitely know that Monash no
longer needs the GAMSAT from 2017 onwards, but the course is
offered to Monash students only who want to do postgrad.
Hopefully this answers your question? ^^"

Trust me you need more than just a high GPA to get a job these
days...

If I'm meant to somehow fit in a job or two and throw in some
volunteering work in combination with uni, well consider me
unemployed for the rest of my life then OTL

Do you mean things like previous work experience, volunteering
and extra curricular activities? Because I've heard that people
with all of these still don't always get jobs.

Quite often the case! Of course you need a good mix of both
sides but I personally think networking and your connections
play a massive role in employment.
