Confusion about med

Hi guys, I got a UMAT score of 164 (68th percentile) and an ATAR of 98.25. Someone over at MSO told me that I am eligible for an excellence scholarship since they are university-wide, despite my crappy UMAT, so I have left it as my first preference till now. Is this true and therefore is med still worth putting as my first preference, or should I take it off? Thanks in advance :)

2012: English [43]  Chemistry [39 --> 43]  French [37 --> 47]  Methods [39 --> 44]  Spesh [32 --> 44]

ATAR: 98.25

You are eligible for an excellence scholarship, but I THINK that they consider people who GET scholarships (there's a limited number) rather than those who are eligible for one - that's what the prospectus indicated. Not 100% sure though.

Keep it in your preferences though, it doesn't hurt at all.

Realistically though, Monash med is out of your reach :(
