After the Preliminary course, I dropped 2 unit mathematics to study general mathematics, as I could no longer cope with the workload, but I learnt that Bond University requires you to have studied Maths B.. Could I still apply to the university if I take a bridging course if accepted? Is the maths really necessary to cope with that course?
Not really sure about HSC works.. but I do think that you can still apply for Bond Uni! :P You can apply to all unis, its just that if you don't meet their requirements you may be rejected ><
HSC, in my honest opinion, is the hardest and best system. If you apply yourself HSC will develop a good foundation of skills e.g. googd work ethic, etc which would be enough to do bridging courses if necessary. Anyway maths B is equivalent to - 2/3 Unit. maths C - 4 unit. maths A - general. I think your best bet now, since you dropped down to general, is to try and get the best atar and umat you can. Then you'd be able to apply at other places not just bond. I think it's best you call the university ask them. If they say "no you can't apply" really concentrate on the umat and atar. GL
Usually bridging courses won't allow you to gain entry into that year of applications, so you will have to do the bridging course, then wait another year. So I would focus on other unis for this year
Honestly, if I were you, I would not even apply to Bond. The program structure is so disorganized and they claim they will help their students in anyway they can, but they don't give a damn about their students. You keep paying them a lot of money and not much in return. I am a great student...making distinctions, but going through hell. Honestly, this program is so expensive and you don't get your money's worth.

That's definitely not what a lot of the other students there think. Why do you feel that way?

I'm in no position to comment about Bond, but let's sum up the opinion of Bond on this thread: one current student (Clint) for, one current student (lostinwonders) against. Lots of med-hopefuls for. As for the 'other students there', I'd hazard a quiet guess that Bond would be unlikely to get students who blatantly despise the course to be a part of things like open days and whatnot, so your view of the Bond students may have been coming from a biased standpoint.
That said, lets face it, in terms of teaching quality, if Bond is accredited by the AMC (which it is), then I can't see why it'd be any better/worse than anywhere else. If applying to Bond, you have bigger things to think about than 'what current students think of the course' (things like the fees, and the possible difficulties getting an internship by the time you graduate in 2016 (given that Queensland health's guarantee of internship spots extends only as far as 2015))
