There is a document available in one of the MUMUS groups, that to my reading, suggests you guys will be moved over to the MD.

Do you by any chance remember which group that was? I looked through the files on MUMUS Common Room and couldn't find anything and searched the MUMUS page with no luck either.

Is UoM really going to cancel pre-uni interview for Chancellors? Does it start from this year or next year?
I was really aiming for Chancellor because of the advantage of sitting the interview beforehand :(

Yes that is happening. Come to Monash :P

It's not too much of a disadvantage as it is only pass/fail and anecdotally I have only ever heard of 1 person failing it (you pretty much have to be a sociopath to fail  ;)).

There's definitely more than 1, and most people who fail tended to fail after the three years rather than before. I cynically attribute this to the fact that UoM has already used their mugs on all their scholarship posters and brochures, so they don't "need" them any more than any other MD candidate hahaha :P

Latest News/Confirmation
  • year 12s entering the undergraduate course in 2017 onwards will be in the MD/BMedSci course - still the UMAT/ATAR/Interview entry method
  • students currently in enrolled in MBBS in the class of 2020 will be transitioned into the MD/BMedSci course in 2018 (third year) - unlikely to have the option to "opt-out"
  • students in MBBS graduating in 2019 and before will remain in MBBS as Monash undergoes the teach-out process
  • it is proposed that all students graduating in 2020 will be in the MD/BMedSci course whether they are returning from an intercalated BMedSci (Hons) or PhD, taken intermission or have failed - these students will also most likely have an option to "opt-out" - this area is still being finalised and being carefully monitored (the issues arising from this have been taken into consideration)

And just to reiterate the MD/BMedSci course is still 5 years and still an undergraduate course (as well as graduate course)
The only changes are to the course content within Year 3B and 5D (no elective, replaced with Scholarly Intensive)

Reason for doing this transition: implied from faculty members that it was done in order to keep up with the other medical schools in Australia (and yes, Deakin will also undergo this transition within the next year or so)

Source: I sat through a gruelling 3 hour MUMUS meeting about this

Hey, everyone! Have any idea what ISAT score is for international student to secure a Monash medicine offer for school leavers?
