hey lexicographer, u are way too enthusiastic.. i remember being like that this time last yr, all i can say is take a well-deserved break now and enjoy it before med infiltrates your life and consumes u.. ;)

yep i'm positive :) btw, good luck everyone with med interviews... they are all the same after a while.... all the questions are so predictable by the end of it.

just wondering if there were any studies showing newcastle uni has the best med course.. ? i've been trying to find one... ? also, i'm pretty sure it's monash with the combined med/law course .

so true! That's a nice attitude to have! :)

does anyone know if the bridging courses are held as lectures? Like, what is the chance that I will actually understand the complex concepts of physics if they go at a fast pace with a serious lack of question-asking along the way? If it was held in a nurturing classroom-type environment, i...

it depends - are u a risk-taker?
