So would it be fair to say that a Monash undergrad is better as it offers more opportunities for postgrad medicine?
From that perspective, Monash is better. That said, that benefit needs to be balanced against which course suits you better, where your friends are going, which university is more convenient to get to etc. Ultimately choosing the wrong course for you will have a bigger impact on your chances of getting into medicine than the small benefit of retaining Monash's MD as an option.
I noticed you were a Melbourne Uni Biomed student. What was your experience like, and if you had your time again would you opt for Monash over Melbourne?
Thank you for your response, it was immensely helpful
It's been a long time since I've done Biomed at Melbourne, so I suspect the course has changed somewhat. It's also worth adding that I never studied at Monash as a comparison. I think, in hindsight, the content of the Monash course would have suited me better and that it's a more well-rounded biomed course; however, Melbourne was still the better option, as it allowed me to stay at home with family in Geelong.
