great post, informative and easy to read, just some very minor additions:
-UNCLE does not consider your uai for interview selection but after that the threshold of 93.8 still applies if you are to be eligible for entry.
-UQ provisional entry needs a minimum of 99+ (OP1, so not strictly 99+...
thats after they spend at least 6 years with sub-100k salaries 5-6 years PGY in hospitals. and pre-vocational + vocational training is no walk in the park
that said doctors still get paid very decently but that shouldn't be the only reason you do med because you will end up very dis-satisfied...
graduate med is meant so that anyone with any undergrad degree would be able to apply. people do med science or adv science (biomed) because it 'preps' them for grad med. while this may be helpful it is by no means necessary, and any degree you do is sufficient, unis such as qld actually prefers...
if this is nsw unis, yes they usually will have clear information on what knowledge is required (whether they are recommended, assumed or a pre-req). for assumed knowledge it's a good idea to take a bridging course but not essential. for med it's usually just chemistry. (at unsw). for uws and...
for UQ you only need 1 science (+ maths) as basic requirements. in melbourne most health sciences will have chem as a pre-req. NSW is more flexible with most unis having chem (and maths, sometimes) as 'recommended knowledge' by which you could take a bridging course if required.
thats considerably harder than getting UWS law
OP said it himself. u have no interest in law so why do law? you are going to uni, not your parents. and UWS of all places, i don't see what the dilemma is.
why not USYD for arts if ur going interstate anyway
and i'd imagine arts is great at ANU, for asia-pacific studies at least. it's just the lack of social scene that you are worried about i'm guessing?
don't forget your internal transfers
if you got sub 97 but above 95 (intl studies this year was 92.xx? i hope u made it) u only need a 75WAM to transfer
otherwise u culd still transfer but u need to work on that GPA, it won't be easy.
or go for grad law. it's only a year longer anyway
UNSW...
