griffith vs curtin undergrad med
hi!! i’m an international student from alberta, canada who just graduated high school in june. i applied to a few med schools in australia earlier this year, and i recently got off the waitlists for curtin and griffith (yay!). i’m having a really hard time deciding between the 2 universities. curtin is a shorter 5 year mbbs program with a smaller cohort, but its in perth which is very isolated. also, i’d go straight into medical training which i’m a big fan of. on the other hand, at griffith i’d do two years of a medsci degree, followed by a four year md, provided i keep up a certain gpa. i’ve heard the gold coast is an amazing city, and better for younger people as compared to perth. i also have a lot of family that live a few hours from the gold coast. ultimately the tuition would be around the same for both universities because griffith is an extra year, so that isn’t a deciding factor for me. this is a veryyyy hard decision for me, and i was hoping someone had some insight into my situation and how i should proceed. thank you!!
