HEY! I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to prepare for the UMAT, or has done it and would like to share any advice? I don't want to pay for any packages as they are SO expensive and I don't want to put my parents through that financial strain.
Thanks guys, mcuh appreciated
Hey SSSS
I am a med student at Monash Uni and I'm currently involved in UMAT/med interview training with iCanMed. They are a new tutoring company who aim to balance out the unfairness between students and not let financial status be a barrier to who gets into med. We offer cheaper UMAT courses as well as numerous free workshops throughout the year (sorry but most are held in Melbourne).
Indeed most UMAT prep packages are super expensive so I thought I'd let you know of a
free workshop coming up in Sydney run by iCanMed. There are two (repeat) sessions on 19 December from 1-3 or 3:30-5pm.
