Just finished my second year of a five year course to get my MBBS or Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery.
That said a lot of people assume I'm really smart, I'm not I just above average smart and lucky that the scoring system favours the disadvantaged and apparently living in a rural area counts as that. Also the government has schemes in place to encourage rural people to study medicine, so hopefully we return to rural areas, I was in the first preference category for the scheme being from the North East of Victoria (one of the major shortage areas). Plus there's an interview that counts almost as much as your enter score and I'm great at talking.
So that is how I got into Medicine with a score of 88.25 (Victorians gasp in amazement)
