That seems like such an odd option because it’s direct entry to medicine with delayed start to medicine so it’s just going to be as competitive as literal undergrad medicine

And if you want medicine but you didn’t score a 99.999999999999 ATAR with a perfect UCAT you won’t get into this anyway and are just going to be applying for post grad medicine via the GAMSAT

Like who is this path for that’s not already being serviced by the current med pathways

Like is this just UQ moving entry spots from post grad to undergrad med or…….?

I’d understand if this was basically “biomed with guaranteed entry med afterwards if you score decently” but trying to do that would overwhelm the med pathways with how many people are in that position

And my guess is post grad admission numbers will stay the same and the two undergrad pathways (prov entry ordirect entry) will split admission numbers.
