Hey Guys Any Comments About This Universities Medical School, I Know Its Fairly New, But It Seems Like They Have Some Hi-tech Labs And What Not, Any Canadians Attending There.
Canadian citizen here, interviewing for Wollongong in Toronto in April and very excited!
wow- you guys are all here
Any questions for me while so many of us are in the same place??

Most of us will have a choice between UoW and many of the other schools in Australia, most of which are (a) older/more established, and (b) located in larger, more exciting metropolitan areas. Because of basic supply & demand economics, it is obvious that Wollongong must offer some other advantages just for the sake of competing. What such advantages should we consider when making our final decisions?
I am very interested in medical physics research and, in fact, I almost decided to do a PhD in that field before I realized that medical school is a better option for my long-term goals. Is there any way for me to incorporate this sort of research into my MBBS curriculum? I'd consider such an option in any capacity, whether it is an Honors project, an MPhil degree, or a full PhD degree.
I applied via Australearn. I hope the process completes itself in time so that I'll be able to meet with you during the upcoming early Vancouver interview opportunity. Thanks!

I just thought of another one that the rest of the people might also like to see.
If I decide I like Australia and I manage to get permanent residency during my tenure at UoW, would it be possible for me to switch to a Commonwealth-supported place? Or would I have to take a domestic full fee-paying place?
Hi lynda,
I was checking out the Canadian student loans website and noticed (with dismay) that the University of Wollongong wasn't on their list of approved international schools. Do you know whether any of your past Canadian students have successfully taken out loans with the Canadian government?
Thanks a bunch!
Yes, Im 99% sure they have, but I'll check. Leave it with me and I'll get back to you

Hey all,
I was just accepted to the University of Wollongong med program! I am extremely super pumped and will be counting down the days till I start!
For future prospective students, if you are interested in Wollongong I just want to tell you I have had a very positive experience with this school. I applaud their efforts to meet with students online and offline. I certainly think that if you are considering studying in Australia this is a program worth looking into.
Cheers,

Sig change done! Thanks liquid krystale!
The whole thing is still sinking in. It is very surreal after imagining it for so long. I think it will really hit home once I get that physical acceptance package in the mail.
