Hello everyone. I graduated with Doctor of Medicine at the University of Melbourne in 2015. I previously attained a Bachelor of Biomedicine at Melbourne in 2011. This blog documents some of my journey so far, starting from the year before I got into medicine. It also contains discussions of other issues with varying degrees of relevance to medicine or the selection process that I decide to bring up.

[update] One month until mid-August: USyd offers and GEMSAS interview offers
Anyway, semester two is just around the corner in a week an a half. Mid-August therefore lies in the fourth week of the semester, although if things are a bit early we may get the USyd offers and GEMSAS interview offers late in the third week.
That wasn't much of a break really. It was filled with interruptions due to interview practice and having to go to Sydney to interview. That said, it was an experience that I think was invaluable. On the other hand, if the break was too long, I might have become bored with not much to do, which has happened in the past.
Ah well. One and a half weeks to semester two, and about a month until USyd offers and GEMSAS interview offers, which hopefully will be a University of Melbourne one. After one and a half weeks, there's going to be study and interview practice ahead!

Mid August can't come soon enough for me either! Good luck with your USyd interview and your last semester.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that. I hope a bit that the time until then will pass productively.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to appear more confident during the Melbourne interview, among other things. Ah well, it's a learning experience. Unfortunately I'll probably have to sit a few more interviews throughout life.
Nice name btw.
Thanks! The name is not a sign of special interest in psychiatry though (at least not yet). I should mention having PM'ed you a few times on PD. I deleted my account recently, though not for any reason related to my not liking that most excellent website! (just the opposite).
ReplyDeleteWell - good luck for your wait. Will enjoy reading your blog updates meantime!
Yeah, I think I figured out who you were when I saw your blog today. I think I can guess the reason too haha, although it'd be better not to post it in the public domain, since that kind of defeats the purpose.
ReplyDeleteI guess I might see you back there after USyd or after UniMelb offers one day. Or perhaps in real life if all things go to plan and we both make it into Melbourne medicine.
