GAMSAT

[mayoraasei]

Scores came out today.

Oh boy, I hope I can pass the interview =__=||| That's the most weighted component for many unis. And I HATE interviews! What to wear?! What to say?!

And it bothers me that I haven't met any Asians in the grad med program at USyd.


I'm starting to think I might have manic depression. Was on such a high only 2 hours ago. Is now depressed and pessimistic and generally paranoid about the future.


Edit: I also think this proves that those preparatory courses for GAMSAT are utter bullshit, because I get around 30% for their papers and get around 70% in the ACER (official) practice papers. Don't waste your money people! Honestly *shakes head* I'm so glad I didn't do the course.

OOoh~~ Congrats on passing! Good luck for the interview. Just convince them why you deserve to get into medicine. ;) Why you will be the best person for it. Like, you love helping people, etc. ^^; You'll do fine. XD What to wear? Wear formal-ish clothes, like what you would wear if you're working in a highly presitigue (sp?) firm. Hmm... I guess? When is your interview?

Some questions they could possibly ask you..
Why do you want to do medicine?
What are your career aspirations? (Where do you see yourself in 5/10 years time)
Can you give an example of when you had deal with internal conflict? Such as having a disagreement with another person. How did you resolve it?

etc...

Doubt you have manic depression. People with manic depression can't control their emotions, and well... ^^;;; It's generally a lot more serious than that, and normally, can be pretty obvious. I agree with dracaena, you are probably just stressed and worried. Maybe a little insecure about what the future would hold, especially since you're in your final year of uni, but that is normal. Don't worry too much about the future as you won't know what would come. Just try and deal with the present. ;)

Why does it bother you to have not met any asian med grads yet?

It bothers me because if I go to the med websites for any other uni, like ANU, Melbourne, Queensland or Woollongong, the photos of their students all look very multicultural - there's Indians, Asians, Middle Eastern people etc. It's just at Syndey I've only really seen white students ~~;

Ooh, thanks for the questions, will go write prepatory answers XD
