I am currently 12 years old and I definitely feel under-prepared, I can spend a year preparing for UCAT for admission to UNSW Med depending on my ATAR.
Sorry for all the questions below! Even if you can only answer one question, I would appreciate everything!!

1. Is it more difficult to strive to do so than to try to apply right after school?
2. I am wary of transferring from Med Sci, I know that there are only 15 places, and it is even more competitive than a regular entry.. that would not be recommended, right?
3. Even though the LSR was 96.2 last year, it pretty much means you need a crazy ucat score and you're fucking tired of them at the interview - I'm taking one subjective subject, so I'm not sure how the HSC markers will relate to my MW, it might lower my atar.. should I even worry about taking a one-year break if my atar doesn't exceed 97.5?.. or please suggest any other score
4. Can I be in the first year of commerce and apply for the course as a non-standard candidate? How difficult is it and do I need to study at unsw?
5. I realize that I have to use my time to volunteer, etc. during the school year (which I am more than happy to do because I like it) - To what extent and for how many hours should I strive? I know it's VERY competitive. I am expected to take part in volunteering abroad, etc., I just wanted to know the standard
6. I'll keep thinking about it until January, maybe I'll decide to study commerce/adv at USYD because I like commerce too.
* Sigh, is this already a doomed fate? Am I just being stubborn? UNSW invites only 450 students for an interview, and only half of them are accepted.. so why did they choose me at all?? I don't want to be a pessimist, but there are so many discouraging factors

You have a very high LSR, so don't worry. You can easily enroll in any medical school. Just prepare well for the entrance exams and show yourself 100%. I can also advise that there are medical schools that require some experience in research, so you can say that you have a high score and that when you enter a medical school, you will then get experience in the research center. At least that's what I said, and I was accepted, even though my LSR was 92.3, so don't be discouraged and believe in yourself. You're good. If you like it, then you can finish it without any problems.

I agree, your preparation will be very important to your success. I think you should get in with your score. And with good preparation, you will definitely pass the entrance exams. I, too, was worried about getting into asa miami college. I was worried about everything: I did not get in at all, I would fail the exams, I would get in but then be disappointed in the specialty. But now I think that everything is in your hands. If you do not like the specialty you chose, you can transfer to another university, and if you want to get a second degree. New professions have become much easier to learn from scratch. There is the Internet and numerous educational courses, and professionals easily and willingly share their secrets on social networks.
