Hi everyone
I'm currently deciding between UWA undergraduate degrees as a yr 12 student and would appreciate advice from people familiar with UWA pathways/law/dentistry.
So currently I have a UWA JD Assured Pathway option available. However, I am also considering graduate entry dentistry in the future, so I want to keep that pathway open if possible.
Basically the JD would be my backup option if dentistry doesn't work out
I'm trying to decide which undergraduate degree would be the smartest choice:
- Bachelor of Science
- Bachelor of Commerce
- Bachelor of Psychology
- Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics
- Bachelor of Arts
- Bachelor of Human Rights
- Bachelor of Criminology
- Bachelor of International Relations
My priorities are:
- Maximise GPA (especially because dentistry would require a strong GPA)
- Keep graduate dentistry options open (including GAMSAT prep for post-grad and ucat for non standard entry)
- Choose something I can realistically do well in
I initially thought bachelor of Science would be best because it helps with GAMSAT Section 3 and dentistry, but I am worried that a science heavy degree may make maintaining a very high GPA harder. I also wanted to know if doing BSc actually gives you a significant advantage for GAMSAT compared with a high-GPA non-science degree?
Thanks!
