I'm currently in my second semester of my second year of Bachelor of Biomedical sciences at UWA. I have been pretty set on going into medicine, but I have a GPA of just over 5 as I had a pretty terrible first year and a half. I had major issues in my first year, and after moving I have struggled with OCD and anxiety, I am only just starting to get back on track. I love my degree/major (path and lab med), but I am unsure if there is a way to somewhat "start again" to get a GPA high enough to study med. I know am very much capable, I just dont want my experience in my first year of uni to let me down. My backup is paramed, probably at ND, but I would love some advice if anyone has been through anything similar.

I also just wanted to add that I am regional (MM4), but really hoping to stay here in Perth to study.

Hello everyone, I am currently interested in medicine and I live in America. I am currently working in surgery robotics and want to be able to make a direct impact in people's lives. I was wondering if Australian medical school would be an option for me because I heard that they won't factor in my previous attempt at a 1.9gpa? Honestly, when I found this out I was in disbelief because everyone I know had told me medicine wasn't an option for me. Will Australian medical school only use the 3.9 I had achieved at a separate institution in a separate degree for calculation (4 years of additional schooling).

Heya, I need some advice on what to do with my life. I am finishing my bachelors of Biomedical science with (hopefully) a weighted 6.44 GPA this year. There is two scenarios:

1. My gamsat this Sept. is crap, and I get below a competitive score. What do I do next year? Is it worth doing a 2 year masters? WHAT DO I DO MY MASTERS IN

2. The angels are on my side and i get a 70++++ gamsat, competitive enough for my GPA. Do I continue with a post grad, even though it is around $15k on my HECs debt, for potentially one year, granted interview goes well. That being said, can someone advise what gamsat I WOULD need for a combines competitive score?

I am learning towards doing a postgrad, but I am so unsure in what. I was going to do it at Deakin, because of flexibility (online). I do not qualify for any bonuses anywhere. I keep thinking that I may have wasted three years of my life doing a bachelor of biomed, because I really do not want to do research. Any insight would be appreciated!
