Why do medicine applicants only get 4 options and not 5 like everyone else?

Why do medicine applicants only get 4 options and not 5 like everyone else?

You do get five, but you can only use four for medicine.

thanks, I know. Why are only 4 for medicine?

It's so weird isn't it. I think it's so your 5th choice can be a back up course like biomed or something if medicine falls through.

Because of the sheer competitiveness of medicine. Its to help cut down the number of applications each med school receives and make it easier to process them all.

Do any other courses have the same rule? For example, Dentistry and Law are also very competitive, do applicants have 4 choices as well?

Dentistry and vet medicine are also restricted to four applications per cycle, I think. Law definitely isn't. :tongue:

Maybe because med schools tend to interview, which is time-consuming?

I think for a few reasons.
Firstly, medicine is a very very competitive course. You generally need a minimum of AAA to be in with a shot. These are very good grades, yet a lot of people won't get in to do medicine. However, these are clearly clever and acedemic people who would do well at uni, thus by having a fifth choice they are likely to still to get to go to uni if they wish.
Also, medicine is a time consuming course to pick applicants for, it involves tests and interviews, and by reducing the number of choices you are decreasing the number of students slightly that apply for each med school, thus reducing the time and cost.

Actually I highly doubt anyone but yourself cares. But as this is completely derailing the OP's thread, I shall direct you again to my previous gif and leave it there.

You don't have to be a teacher to make correct use of "it's" and "its". I would hope members of the TSR Support Team can use correct punctuation. Anyways, back to the OP. :smile:
