The answer is: probably not. But you gotta be in to win and so you basically save to buy lotto tickets. Each application has an associated fee, you see. I think I looked into that and it was AUD$5,000 to apply for orthopedics specialist training in Australia. That gives you some idea. Then you have the fees involved in sitting various examinations. Surgical Sciences examinations etc. The purchase of preparation material and so on.
On the other hand... They know how much you earn. And they also know who goes into the whole thing with trust funds and the like (and would expect a corrspondingly greater contribution given that).
I guess you can hope that the people behind the system / process have an eye to fair-minded. but in any individual case it is a lottery, yeah.
I mean... What's teh alternative to the system / process not being fair-minded?
The worst would be to believe it wasn't (and to give up) when it turned out that it was.
