The "Will I get an interview/offer with this UMAT?" query for med and dent

[archenemy]

I got 67/71/59 (overall 196) and 98th percentile in the UMAT. I'm currently look at an ATAR of low to mid 99s (probably somewhere from 99.20-99.60). Given that I have a decent interview, any ideas as to how good a shot I have at Monash med?

I'm no expert but definitely sounds like you have a good chance with those scores!

What are the chances for Monash Med with a 99 umat (204 overall) and lower atar? Maybe around 97 atar?

...Absolutely no chance  ! Scroll up and read the previous ones.

You'd definitely get an interview and provided you were to do well on the interview you'd have a good shot at it. 97 is definitely on the low end for med though, you probably want to aim for at least 99

Hahah I did read it! Only the other person who asked with the UMAT score was applying to UQ which gives bonus points I think, whereas Monash doesn't

Thank you!! Not sure I can get that high for atar but fingers crossed

You have a decent chance of getting in haha. Just need to maintain or increase that ATAR. One month to go. No point worrying about whether or not there's a chance, and probably more useful putting effort into increasing ATAR as much as possible. Lol Best of luck

Sounds like a plan, if I could +1 you more than once I would haha

For those applying JCU, applications are due sooooon! Very worth applying, especially if you feel the UMAT didn't go amazingly (although time will tell ). One of the admins at medstudentsonline (where I'm a mod too) posted a good guide recently that's worth checking out http://medstudentsonline.com.au/forum/threads/jcu-written-application-discussion-2017.32566/

The section where it has referees - has that been removed from the application?  Does that go under "Provide any other information to support your application"?

Had a cursory look at the form, looks like you just attach them. Snippet below is from pg 12. https://www.jcu.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/272769/2017_Application-Form-Top4.pdf

Thanks a lot - didn't actually see that section so thank you a lot for pointing it out <3

Thank you, pi!
And I know this may be a trite question, but to have a competitive application at JCU Med is the ATAR threshold definitely above 99?

I have a friend who got in (same year I applied - so was a while back) with an ATAR of 97.xx and no rural experiences, so not a hard and fast rule!
