    Medicinal chemistry

    ROFL Neb, Edmond's got a point. In fact if it really was that easy, then there wouldn't be a need for books like Mcmurry or hartman to list every god damn reaction there for us to route-learn. And medical admission tests wouldn't bother putting 70% organic chem. There's always these exceptions...

    Medicinal chemistry

    It's probably a little early to consider PhDs at this time Tim. But as Survivor said, we'd highly encourage you to try out honours if research positions are in your mind. If after honours, you are still highly inspired, then by all means a Masters or PhD will set your path in the right way...

    Medicinal chemistry

    Yeah it was a real shocker to me when I started tracing back what my buddies back in usyd/unsw were doing after graduating with just the science degree. I think 3 people I know are still unemployed at the moment (despite all 3 of them having come from Sydney Boys/Girls) A science degree will at...

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    Haha BIOS1011 and BIOS2021 will never change, its always taught so badly. The tutors are crap and don't even know how to teach you to write a proper journal article or whatever shit assignment that you had to do in mid-year. MATH1041 is a total laugh off, you never ever touch statistics...

    Medicinal chemistry

    Hhaa been some time eh! Yeah stumbled back onto this forum when I searching for some stuff. Mm that's true. If I was told earlier I would've probably left science if not for the path I was following. Well, 6 out of 9 buddies ended (my tutors, demonstrators, uni mates etc) up doing MSc in other...

    Medicinal chemistry

    Organic chemistry is insanely hard, and given today's job prospects, Biotechnology or at least anything which offers you a non-research job is much much better. Having completed the med sci degree, and other friends having done hons in addition (and graduated mid-year this year) they have...

    are English staff the most incompetent? they stuffed up our trial examination...

    Lol pretty much tells you how degrading our English teachers standard is coming along. Seriously though, I know some B Edu students who've gone out and are now teachers, and god damn it, some of the less intelligent students end up being your teachers. And they teach you crap, so you don't...

    CSSA Trial Maths Adv RESULTS

    Timing and spending ALOT of time after the past exams and marking them, and reading step-by-step is the way to go. If you already have over 10 units, if Maths is pulling you down, consider dropping it. It is deadweight if you do not like the subject and also get bad marks.

    Maths rank question

    Technically if you do well in your HSC (The real thing at the end of year of BoS), it should raise your mark a little higher. You still have a chance at increasing the rank by your upcoming trials. Do well in those, do well in HSC, you'll get Band 5-6.

    Studyig for HSC..help

    Past papers are the way to go. Once you've finished all the past HSC papers, move on to the School ones i.e. from Cherrybrook tech, James Ruse, etc. If you're not sure why you're getting the answers wrong, be sure to read step by step why and where you went wrong. Chances are its a single...

    Calculus in physical world Q?

    Jeez guys calculus is pretty useless crap in the medical and environmental science arena. In fact I've totally forgotten a bout that stuff, what's differential equations again? Engineering, architecture and a science degree in mathematics will be the only places you'll ever use this.

    general UNSW chit-chat

    Ha the 2 buildings alongside the lowry has lost all its scenic views. Seriously 10 years later, UNSW's gonna lose all its "lawns" to buildings that have been built by tax frauds. talking about that 10 million donation, the guy who donated it has been evading tax alot!

    Debate: Medical Sci degree---> Medicine

    The best thing you can do, is choose a degree you really love and will do well in it. Although some may say studying a degree with medical relevance may assist in that admissions test, I'd say its huge risk to your GPA - particularly if you don't enjoy it. If your degree's final GPA isn't past...

    How many of you have applied for pharmacy? (need advice)

    Rafe don't lose hope. Generally Pharmacy is becoming much more easier to apply for nowadays. The path most people take is the Post-Graduate - Master of Pharmacy degree. (I.e. Complete your first degree then apply for Masters of Pharmacy). Essentially you complete your first degree with at...

    What you hate about UNSW

    Re: 回复: Re: What you hate about UNSW Lol dude that's screwed. The post-grad oldguys love shoving in the moment the bus door's open. Damn I miss the times when students shout at the transit officers "Get a real job you assholes"

    rurality, extra-curricular activities and medicine

    In terms of Dentistry, I'm aware that in nsw only USyd has dentistry available. Their interview format is the same as USyd Graduate Medicine which is based upon MMI or Multiple Interviews which do not ask anything related to your work/community experiences. So in the end, it depends on which...
