    Unfortunately you have to do the language and learning unit before you can do the biology. YOu can do a science unit on its own if you go through OUA (open universities Australia). NOt too sure what that entails though.

    I'm not good at exams , and only got a ranking of 73 , I can't actually remember what the test was like!!!! There are practice stat tests online. Go on to the QTAC website and it should hvae some info on there.

    Hi Lovely ladies, isn't it awesome that Griffith are starting BMid next year. I'm another hopeful to get in, although I'm sure the competition is going to be tough!

    I got accepted into BMid at ACU last year but turned down my spot because realistically it was going to be too hard going from GC to Bne 4 days a week. I'm 31 and got in based on my grades from High School. My TER is 80 and although I did biology in grade 12 I did not do it in all of grade 11 as I swapped from secretarial studies if my memory serves me correctly. I wonder if that would hinder my chances of getting into Griffith? Like 21andTTC#1 said I'm sure the competition will be tough. I remember the first year UQ offered BMid you had to have a TER of 92 or better and now I think it's down to about an 86 or better. ACU on the other hand, I think the cut off was 76 or 77?

    I have spoken to Jenny Gamble on a few occasions previously and she said she was going to offer BMid part-time also, but I notice on the GU website it says full-time only. can someone please let me know if they happen to find out whether part-time will be possible?

    21andTTC#1 are you starting your MMid this year? Out of interests sake how many follow-throughs do you need for MMid? I was a follow through for a MMid student back in 07 when I had bub at PIndara but I never did get to ask her how many of us she needed in total. When I have another bub I'd like to be a follow-through again. It's a great experience.

    PS: I'm currently doing a doula course as well. Through Optimum birth. And it looks like I 'll be a student to my first lovely couple in May. I'm so excited!

    Hi hj

    ACU is the easier one to get into. You need only english as a pre requisite and the TER/OP cut off is 76/12.

    It is only a small uni so not much flexability as far as the timetable goes. When I got mine it required me to go to Uni 4 days a week and the Friday was just for a 45 minute lecture at 3.45 in the arvo. Initially when I called the Uni to ask if I could just get a copy of the lecture notes, they told me no, I had to go to the lectures but I have since found out that yes you can get the lecture notes
    Also I have spoken to someone who is currently doing BMid at ACU and she managed to streamline the timetable a little better by doing some of the nursing subjects with the nursing students instead of with the BMid students.
    If you go to ACU you can also do your prac at John Flynn, which is great for us Gold Coasters.

    Spice - i dont live at the Gold coast hehehehe - however will be moving to forest lake soon and DH said Logan is much closer!
    Do u need to use ur OP for ACU? cause my OP was bad - i didnt take it seriously enough at school which 10yrs later im regretting

    I wish BMid was easy to get into.........

    I know i need to do some studies of some sort but im really lost at what to do - sounds bad i know but i dont want to spend my time studying something if its not going to help me get in!
    BMid is what i really want to do and i know it not just a passing phase, but its just getting up the courage to take that jump and start working towards it that im finding hard! Im not good at going out of my comfort zone if you know what i mean!

    Hi hj, perhaps you could do some nursing subjects through tafe to increase you're ranking? Or sit the STAT test like mumasurpha suggested?
