呵呵，跟我当年学的一样。   这个英语要求还是很高的，还要很能背书。   要不一年级很痛苦。。杀手课medsci142 , biosci106   ...  其他的物理，化学都很简单。   
注意的是，千万不要落课， 很多reading.  不要妄想期末突击能拿好成绩。

我今年刚刚读完ｂｉｏｍｅｄ，也刚ｉｎｔｅｒｖｉｅｗ完，现在还不知道能不能进医。你是留学生吗？学这科英语必须有一定基础。否则，你要学别的就已经很辛苦了，还要为语言烦恼，就更难了。

我打英文你不在意吧？比较快。
There are sooo many Asians studying Biomed, and they are all elites, you'll meet heaps of duxes and head girls/boys. I like the course overall, it's challenging and interesting at the same time.

Have you done UMAT in year 13? It would've have been useful to have done it before.

Advice I would give you: choose an easy general education paper in semester 2, the one I did was ECON 151G, it is probably the easiest paper you'll ever do, so take that if you want extra time to study for your other papers in semester 2.

Papers you'll probably take in semester 1 are: Chem110, biosci 107, Population health 111, biosci 101. Out of these, except for biosci 101 all the other 3 are extremely important (if you don't know why ask me).  And papers you take in semester 2 are: medsci 142, biosci 106, physics 160 and your general education paper. And medsci 142 is the most important paper in this semester, and probably the most interesting paper you'll do this year ( i haven't met anyone who doesn't like this paper, if you don't like it, you shouldn't do med).

At last, competition is very fierce in first years, to be honest, I believe you have to be really smart or hard working. If you are neither, then you might not even get an interview. Minimum GPA (for the 4 core papers) you should be looking at if you want to get into med is probably 8, which is an A average. And A- GPA over all 8 papers would get you an interview :D

i am an  international student and just finished foundation study for four subjects which are business , calculus ,bio and chem. i know it is hard to study medicine  and my family has high expectation onto me . i am not that kind of smart girl and i still need to work on my English, so i feel quite stressed now. actually i am taking parttimejob now , do you think i need to drop it and get myself into study ? and why pop health111, chem110 biosci107 are so important ? what s more , i am going to choose courses and make timescale  , do you have any suggestion of timetable?

Sephy

To be honest, I don't think you would be able to continue working part time when biomed starts if you want good grades enough for medicine ( I haven't worked at all this year during uni, but still didn't have that much free time to play around with friends, that's just me though). But, you can continue doing part time job now so you can have more pocket money for the coming year. I'm not sure trying to studying now would be the best idea, because you really don't have that extra push and pressure that allow you to get through everything. If I were you, I would try and improve my English fluency in the holidays so that it would be less of a weakness, and relax well to prepare yourself for a hard year. Don't be stressed now :D, save the stress for later, at the moment do everything else you need and want to do.
You might already know this, but there are in fact 2 pathways into the medical programme, biomedical science and health science. There are 4 common papers studied by both courses, they are biosci 107, medsci 142, pop health 111 and chem 110. They look at all your 8 papers for ranking for the interviews (which to be safe you need a A- average). Once interview is done, they then look at your grades for the 4 common papers (which ideally should be A average minimum). So, really there is no point getting A+ for physics, biosci 101, biosci 106....because as long as you get A- for them, it doesn't matter how much higher they are, cos they don't count.

Semester 1 courses are pretty much set. There are morning and afternoon streams except pop health which only has afternoon stream. Morning lectures start from 8, afternoon starts from 1 I think. My semester one timetable was like from 1 straight to 5, with all 4 courses. It's easy in the sense you don't waste any time in between, but it can be really exhausting, and I couldn't concentrate for that long and often lose focus later. My labs are all in the morning. Speaking of labs, I need to stress how important it is that you choose a good lab partner, they could help you heaps, or drag you behind. I know that it is now within your power to choose a good one, but do try your best :D

If you live close by, try and choose morning classes, because they really do give you that extra push to wake up early, and you can spend more time studying in the afternoon and evening :D

Apparently i can not still take part time when i start to learn biomed . To be honest i suffer a lot  from being a waitress >< and it is hard for me to continue working there .

  i will probably live with my brother in the city next year . My brother also suggests me to shorten study days but arrange time from 12.00 to 5.00. Maybe its because he thinks its hard to get up early XD..

You told me that you just took the interview. How was that? Hope you can pass it and successfully be a MbChb student.

MEDSCI的课和英语虽然有关系，但是没有中国同学说的什么因为我英文不好就考不好。
这样的观念是不对的。不管是LAB REPORT还是考试的ESSAY，全都不会是批你语法的。都是批KEY WORD。
一个在中国正规好一点大学上学或者高中成绩很不错的英文不好的中国学生 好好学 好好查资料。英文主要练习怎么把ARTICLE里面的话翻来覆去的抄着说。考试题目反正是基本提前知道的。提前2个礼拜写一下背一些，写的再烂B RANGE是没问题的。但一定得努力想天天泡吧泡妞又学MEDSCI的要三思。

我也见过NBC英文好的一塌糊涂，但是FAIL的人。 关键还是看个人学习能力而已

Mesci 142 每年有10%-20% 人都不及格，如果1000人学的话，就是至少100人fail....

加油吧,虽然我不是读biomed nor med 但是都有biosci 106,107,101,physics 160,chem 110 and MEDSCI 142

很多人都fail106，但是个人觉得还好吧。主要理解对了,明白了就好,虽然听着很废话,个人不同方法学习吧,我死记硬背是不可以的,但是理解明白之后就简单很多~

几年前认识一个，他平均是A都转不了。 他说名额太少了， 牛人不少。如果是毛利话，他就一早转了。太不公平了。

不是成绩好就行的, 还得面试看你这人怎么样,有没有同情心,处事如何

Bearware

主要看面试，我高中同学AGS dux都没上去，8门A+
LZ读foundation的话，真心锻炼语言才是关键， 边打工边冲医学不现实。
142个人觉得不是杀手课，而是读完不知道学到什么，猜不到考什么，不轻视就行了。
106全靠背，and yes, choose the easiest GE.
小tip,注意身材，我认识的身材臃肿看起来不算健康的都没过

最大建议～～不要打工，成绩保持A-左右就ok,主要看面试和UMAT,交流一定要做到很casual，口语要洋人标准。

你们都拿那么多A，为什么不来otago读啊？？？otago med school欢迎你们喔

PaperHearts

我再补充两句。读MED一定一定要自己真的感兴趣，有动力才可以。
其次打工什么的真的算了，想都别想，我们以前算过，一节课international学费将近一百多钮币。fail一门的学费够打工累死累活半年了...
还有如果不能进med的活，想好以后学什么，比如biomed,phyiology, bio, chem...看看这些课都要求什么
最后，就是如果要决定了，core papers是必须要A的才能面试。这并不是什么难事，如果你有self-motivation的话。

不是简单，而是没有那么多人去竞争。读牙医难不难就像小马过河一样，每个人的说法都不一样。只有努力就不难，起码我觉得不是太难。读医就不知道，但我准备去读了。
