Ooooh thank you so much for clearing it up :)
-- Yeah she was freaking me out so much lol , so it would be easy to balance a job and uni right? Do u work?

Kind of/sort of.

I do on/off work with AN, I'm also the president of one of the student societies at Monash as well as being on the committee for another group, Young Scientists of Australia. All up, defs don't make as much as your usual casual worker would, but I reckon I have enough outside-academics stuff to qualify for at least one casual worker. :P I also have plenty of friends who work and easily balance uni and a casual job.

However, I'd be wary of taking a lot of time for your job at once in your first semester. I'd suggest working what you did during year 12, and if after your first semester you feel like you could take more hours, THEN take more hours. You'll need time to adjust to uni, and the university treats you like a full time student.

My friend went there in.. 2005? Anyway, he found a job because he saw an ad posted somewhere in the uni. Is that still up today? Would there be a place where they help students find a job or simply a place where there's like job offer ads?

Im considering Juris Doctor at Monash, and its requirements is a GPA 5.2/7 or a 6.3/7 for a CPS place. Could someone please tell me what the 5.2 and 6.3 out of 7 is converted to a GPA out of 4?

Yup - there's Career Connect, which is a little spot that can help you with writing your resume, finding an internship, finding an actual job, getting some volunteer experience, or even to just talk to because you have no idea what to do at all. They're run by Careers, Leadership and Volunteering (CLV), which is this massive group with their own wing completely dedicated to this sorta stuff. They're right next to the place you'll get your student ID from (your brother might remember Monash Connect in Campus Centre? It's literally across from where that is), so very easy to locate!

What subjects do I need to take in bachelor of science to qualify for graduate medicine?

Based on this website, to qualify for the Monash MBBS, you simply need to have done a biomed, pharmacy or physio degree. You can also get in with a science degree, BUT you must have done 5 units from the following list:

  • BCH2022: Metabolic basis of human diseases
  • DEV2011: Early human development from cells to tissues
  • DEV2022: Principles of organ and body design
  • GEN2052: Genomics and population genetics
  • IMM2011: Basic immunology: The body’s defence system
  • IMM2022: Immunology in health and disease
  • MIC2022: Microbes of health and disease
  • MCB2011 Molecular biology and the cell
  • MCB2022 The dynamic cell
  • PHA2022: Drugs and society
  • PHY2011: Neuroscience of sensory and control systems in the body
  • PHY2032: Endocrine control systems
  • PHY2042: Body systems physiology

That website also says that if you do a BSc, you can have a major in the life sciences (one of Pharmacology, Physiology, Immunology, Biochemistry, Microbiology or Genetics) instead of the five units from that list, but it's not guaranteed (not sure how they split you there - probably WAM or something? Or competitiveness for that year, maybe? Idk, wait for Monash to comment next year). You can get two majors if you want to increase your chances and can't find five units from up there that you like, but you're probably safe with just the one if you can't find enough things from there that strike your fancy.

For Melbourne MD, you'd have to ask someone else - I'm pretty sure you just need to have done either the Monash biomed degree, or the science degree with DEV2011, BCH2011 and PHY2011, but I could be wrong. Other unis I have absolutely no clue, and someone else will have to weigh in/you ask those unis directly.

You're better off trying to do bachelor of laws tbh. There is virtually no difference between LLB and JD, and JD costs more and is longer in total combined with a bachelors length.

5.2 is mostly credit with some distinction
6.3 is mostly distinction with some high distinction.

Depends on what units/subjects you pick, but the standard number of hours per unit is 3 (usually 2hrs of lectures, 1hr tutorial), and if you're a full-time student you usually study four units per semester. Therefore you'd only have 12 hours a week of classes. However, some classes have more/less face-to-face time, e.g. I think the languages usually have about 5 contact hours each, rather than 3.

Normally 2 hour lecture (which you can normally watch online) and 1 hour tutorial (which is usually compulsory) per unit.

You could easily fit full time arts into 2-3 days a week.

^I've just finished Arts and I don't think I was ever at uni for more than three days per week. And mostly half days.

There definitely is. Google monash abroad and you will see more details.

Is clinical school/zone allocation dependent on first year marks or a random process?

Assuming you mean for Monash med.

Is clinical school/zone allocation dependent on first year marks or a random process?

Firstly, unlike UoM, Monash doesn't give students one clinical school for all of their clinical years. You might be (for example) at Monash Health for year 3B, then at Eastern Health and Alfred Health for year 4C, then maybe at three different clinical schools in year 5D. 

For entry into year 3B, you get to preference metro vs rural (some people still get rural even with a metro preference, bad luck). Regardless, your MED2000 scores (end of year 2A score) are ranked and divided into quartiles. Each clinical school is randomly allocated students such that they each have an equal number from each quartile. So yes, it is essentially random, but done in a way so that each school has an equal mix of academic performance. edit: there are some rumours that people who sat supps are more likely to get Monash Health (specifically MMC) or Central Clinical School (specifically Alfred Health), but those are just rumours.

For entry into year 4C, you again get to preference (and some people still miss out on metro, again, too bad) and then the Faculty randomly allocates you to wherever depending on the rotation. For example, I was at Monash Health for paeds, Eastern Health for O+G, Monash Health again fro Psych.

For entry into year 5D, you get to preference specific rotations at specific sites for each of your five allocated rotations, you also get a sixth elective rotation.
