So it's probably about 3 weeks away until results are available...
How's everyone feeling?
What have you decided to do if you do well?
What are your backup plans if you don't?
Starting to get nervous :-[
-
How am I feeling? Nervous.
If I do well? Hopefully go to a Monash interview.
If I don't? Hope to get into Melbourne.
-
aww man, im terrified.
especially because i feel like i haven't done that well compared to what everyone else is saying haha.
and the fact that its on the internet, i think my parents will probably see first cuz its linked to their emails not mine, which is another shittty thing abotu it.
hopefully i can scrape a 93 or 94 for an interview, although itll probably be higher for monash this year,
-
This would have been my topic name:
The countdown begins until I find out I can't get into med!
EDIT: didn't answer the questions...
How's everyone feeling? A bit nervous, but I know I'm not going to go too well compared to most VN-ers. Guessing an 80th-85th percentile, which defs won't make the cut.
What have you decided to do if you do well? Unlikely, but Monash med
What are your backup plans if you don't? Not entirely sure. Maybe chem engineering or actuary.
-
It's kinda weird actually, some people were going around saying they're pretty sure they got full score on section 3...which is kinda unusual.

The number of time I've heard that... Makes me cry (not really) :(

I wouldn't be too worried what people say, there were a lot of people last year who thought they killed it and were faaarrr from it.
Awks though, I foretold myself that it coud happen, so I made sure it was in my email address haha. Perhaps set up an auto move to another folder when it's received? :P

Hmmm, the thing is though, if you can supposedly see all of the patterns, is there really that much room for error? Modesty aside, I think I did quite well and definitely hoping so for a reasonable chance, but who knows...I wonder what the maximum raw score is for S3? Hopefully enough to balance out the other two sub-60 scores :P

yeah hopefully they are just bullshitting ,
do you reckon you got close to acing s3?
i thik i did reasonably well maybe a 30/38

Haha well I'd love to say that I did, but who knows. If, however, we are basing it upon finishing time and confidence, then yeah, I finished with 15 minutes to go and picked the sequence in each question? But I don't wanna get cocky, but hopefully my predictions hold true! I think for me personally though, I'm gonna need a decent score here, as my other two - especially S2 - are not gonna get me into Med...
-
Got the tissues ready! :)
On a serious note.. I'm hoping like crazy that I'll get a good score. But who knows...sigh

Yeah bloody oath. And so annoying too because there's no set date, gonna be changing my phone to "refresh emails every minute" from now on...
-
Stupid ACER for not specifying the date :( They just want to increase our suspense...
I have absolutely no idea how I went, I'm assuming anything between 0-100th percentile.
-
i honestly, have totally forgotten completely about the UMAT
lol, i just realised how much this sentence does not make sense.
*reworded*
honestly, i have totally forgotten all about the UMAT.
-
Not looking forward to results at all... What's happening with results? - like when do we get them? so confused...
-
i am literally crossing out the days on my calendar, cant wait till that date :D
How's everyone feeling? IM EXCITEDD YAHH!
What have you decided to do if you do well? medicine at monash or UNSW
What are your backup plans if you don't? commerce/law at monash
-
How's everyone feeling? indifferent, mainly because i died at section 2, thought i did well for s1 and s3. and most of the people ive spoken to have said the same.
What have you decided to do if you do well? med monash if i can pass the interview and acquire a decent atar. Willing to travel interstate
What are your backup plans if you don't? many, comm/law, or perhaps a basic science degree and melb and pursue grad med
-
i have honestly, totally forgot completely about the UMAT
I wish I could forget about the UMAT :(. Comparatively, I think I failed it. Section 1, I found decent, yet much more difficult than some people are claiming (lost 10+ marks I think...) and section 2, my score will approach 0% :P.
For those who have done methods probability, I would be SHOCKED if my score was outside one standard deviation from the mean.
If I do well: Monash Med. (though very unlikely)
If I don't do well: Commerce or Science at Melb. (likely to change in the near future)
-
How's everyone feeling? Nervous now. Completely forgot i took the UMAT until i read this thread.
What have you decided to do if you do well? Really not sure if i want to do medicine or something like actuarial studies or science :-\
What are your backup plans if you don't? Commrce/Science

mm fair enough;
im hoping for a more balanced set of results, at least that what i generally get, but again, who knows, i could have failed it, or boned it, most likely the former.
-
Haha yeah, I really don't think I'll have the kinda scores needed for UQ, I'd say the 50-50-50 rule will be out of reach :P
Oh well, good to know we're all in this together, hopefully there are at least a few of us that do well!
-
For those who have done methods probability, I would be SHOCKED if my score was outside one standard deviation from the mean.
you could have just said you dont think you'll get above 68 percentile LOL! :P
for someone of your intelligence though im at least expecting 2 SD's from the mean ;)

Just thought I would pull out some flaws:
1. Being within one standard deviation of the mean doesn't mean less than 68 percentile =.=. You should know this :P
Essentially, I am saying I will be within 16-84th percentile. (If this comes up in the methods exam, you owe me so bad! :D)
2. 68 isn't an exact figure, whereas my statement was. xD

Well, there are some people on this forum, who will probably get really high. Thushan and yourself are likely to get your respective 100 percentiles :P

hahah my bad, you do have a point, let me rephrase that
"you could have just said that you think you'll get in the middle 68 percent of all students
=.= are you happy now? :P LOL!
and yes, if that comes up on the exam, i will be very indebted to you :P
i will be as indebted to you as you would have been to me had i gone up to you on the day before the methods exam last year and told you to review similar triangles :P
LOL!
-

LOL!
=.= I knew the question required similar triangles. I just chose the wrong two triangles and thought they were similar. Hence, any advice you would have given me would not have worked :P. Ah well, whats done is done.

You'll get >50 in the other ones and you know it... :P
But yeah, I don't think I aced any of the sections - probably completely failed section 2... it was a damn english test! Hoping 95, will probably end up with 70-80... :( Oh well, there's no way of really predicting how we went - some people who think they failed may end up with 100s...
-
lol thats true about the english..which is really strange of them
-
people, we are all missing the fundamentals behind the umat
from what i've seen, most people believe they screwed up section, as it was hard/ambiguous
so take comfort in that :D
I have met one person who told me section 2 was 'easy' but for them s3 was really hard

Oh har har, I highly doubt that luff. I'd think you are more of a hope than I am. But knowing the randomness of scores, neither of us will probably do well and some randoms will be the ones that get high!

Hush you van-driving pedo, you know your communication skills are second to none...with the children :P
(Inside joke peoples, don't take offence)
-
Well there will have to be SOMEONE who does well in section 2 - probably who doesn't expect it... I also think people would have said S1 was really easy but I think it's so easy to make stupid mistakes if you don't read the info/question right or intepret something wrong...
And Luke, clearly my communication skills are great with the children... ;)
-
@jane: last time i remember seeing that freedom countdown bar you got there, it was at 5 months lol. now its at 2 months and and a coupla days left :/
-
Haha I know! I realised a few days ago that there was only two months till the english exam... then only a week or so until it all finishes.... :-\

lolol, trying to play the unwary? we all know ytouve been beasting practice exam since like 5 years ago for these exams hah
-
Anyone know the day we get them? :D
-
Nup. ACER releases them without warning.

Nup. ACER releases them without warning.
So... they just.... put the results up? LOL?
Do you mean that we just randomly check our email one day and it will be there? xD..... So informal/odd.
-
RRRRAAAGGGEEE!!!!! I WANT A DATE!!!!!!!
Sorry had to get that out :)
-
Screw dates and whatnot, I'd rather not get them at all, actually
Nup. ACER releases them without warning.
Love the negative connotations on that word. A great line for a language analysis.

Yeah but see then I'd die from not knowing and wanting to know but knowing I went terible so not wanting to know but still wanting to know, so I still want to know :)

i dont mind how we dont know the date. at least then i won't have something to keep looking forward too and the waiting period feeling like forever. Does this mean its released any day of sept or any time within third week?
-
I'd say about the 23rd of Sept +- 5 days. (23rd was the date of last year's release).
And yeah, I think we just get an email saying that results are up, follow the link to commit suicide.

Most reasonable and logical post in this thread. +1.

it is ironic, that all of the above posters will probably dominate the UMAT.
-
Nah, I dispute that. In all seriousness too, I'm not expecting a great score.

Yes, very. They're just too modest!

Hahaha shut up all of you, what makes me more deserving than any of you guys?
I can't speak for thushan, because...well, he's thushan.

You know what's gonna happen now, all this buildup and then BOOM. 20th percentile.

More like: BOOOM, BOOOOOM, BOOOOOOOM, BOOOOOOOOOOM.... You guys all get 90+ percentile!

^^I wish, but thanks for the vote of confidence :)
-
Hahaha love all the G'ing up in this forum, gives great confidence to us all flattering eachother hahaha
Perhaps a betting syndicate for each of us and our chances of 90+?
My money is on jane and thushan
-
...and you, funky and jdog are shoe-ins
-
lets just all hope for the best, and not talk about suicide until after we all get our results...its like, if youre on death row, you dont think about dying, you think about how to best use your time till you die :P
btw, pi, i think i saw you in photo's of the mhs formal on some of my friends' facebooks :P
Moderator action: removed real name, sorry for the inconvenience
-
I reckon: Jane, Thushan, Luke, Graphite, Funky, Jdog and pi. Heck i'll name everyone hahaha
On a serious note, GOOD LUCK everyone!! You guys will be able to do, you're all really set on doing med and are passionate enough to do so :) If not you'll find a way to get there!

yepp, i'll second that, good luck to everyone, there's always James Cook or Griffith if you dont do well on the UMAT
and in the long run there's always graduate entry
and in the even LONGER run, becoming a doctor isnt the make it or break it to your life, neither is doing well on vce ;P

doesnt suprise me considering a lot of our "smart" population are international students D:

we've had two, owned.
-
a guy from our school last years, dominated the umat, got 100, with a score of like 74,
he's doing commerce at melb.
-
who??
-
didnt like 0 get into med last year despite 10 being offerred interviews?
yep, youre certainly right
OMG only a handful :o
We've only had one kid in med in the past 10 years hahaha
yeah, but at our school 40% of our students get ATAR's above 90, about 7% (last year) got above 99.00
that's why its surprising (before i started thinking about it) why our students do so badly in the UMAT
-
deaaaaad for results.
-
So what do you guys reckon the cutoff will be this year?
-
So what do you guys reckon the cutoff will be this year?
93 i'd say
-
So what do you guys reckon the cutoff will be this year?
93 i'd say
If the number of places stay the same I doubt it's gonna change much from 93, but has the government 25% rural places been implemented before this year?
-
it is ironic, that all of the above posters will probably dominate the UMAT.
HAHAHAHA I wish! :)
Ahaha count me in too!
Ok I'll add you to the slowly growing list lol :)

Yes, it's been that way for a while
-
So what do you guys reckon the cutoff will be this year?
93 i'd say
95-96 I think. UWA went bust last year - they dont offer undergrad med anymore - and Monash is offering fewer interviews.
But this is not all bad - because they have a UMAT (this round of interview) stream and an ATAR/UMAT stream now
-
they have a cut off too?! wow. isnt 93 pretty high?
-

dont worry paul.. we got last years results covered i reckon.
i can think of at least a handful who should get interviews
-
they have a cut off too?! wow. isnt 93 pretty high?
93rd percentile = Top 7% in Australia...
-
i reckon tushan's right here, the cutoff should be around 95, given that fewer direct interviews are being offered for monash.
-

yeah i can as well, let's see if our predictions hold true! :P
i reckon tushan's right here, the cutoff should be around 95, given that fewer direct interviews are being offered for monash.
well i guess a higher cutoff doesnt have to be a bad thing, for those that do well, a higher cutoff is good because its eliminated more competition instantly

What exactly is ATAR/UMAT stream?
Allows for ATAR to compensate for UMAT?
Im still sticking with 93, i think 95 is too high (yea its 2%ile) and i dont think 1 uni shutdown will increase monash interstate offers to the extent where they have to lower interview offers by 2%
(fingers crossed anways lol :D, unless i get 95+ that is)
-
There is a stream of interviews that are given out after ATARs come out. Albeit the ATAR and UMAT needed would be really high, but still it's better than nothing I spose...
-
what atar do you think they'd be looking at if you were just below the cutoff? 99.5+?
p.s this is almost impossible to type since i'm doing it on my ps3
-
what atar do you think they'd be looking at if you were just below the cutoff? 99.5+?
p.s this is almost impossible to type since i'm doing it on my ps3
I'd assume it would be because median ATAR overall is 99.1... but I wonder what kind of UMAT score you would need to get one of these interviews with a 99.5+ ATAR... :-\
-
I'd be thinking ~99.5 ATAR and ~80th MAY get you an interview if you're lucky, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's higher...

Nah but if they have the same number of overall places I'd think it would be at least 85th or 90th...
Oh well, we should find out soon enough... 2 weeks til hopeful results day! :)
-
if you get a 99.95, you can get in with a ridiculous umat of like 68th percentile (i know someone who did) - or maybe lower, but im not sure
-
I'm thinking:
UMAT stream => overall 186 (62) = 95th percentile (top 6%) given the UWA thing AND that Monash is offering 400 instead of 500-600 interviews this time.
ATAR stream => 99.95, UMAT you need at least a 150 (50) ~ 50th percentile
ATAR/UMAT stream => i'm thinking a UMAT of 171 (57) for an ATAR of 99.7+ and a UMAT of 183 (61) for an ATAR of 99.1+...but that's an approximation - coz Monash combines the ATAR and UMAT using a formula and then takes the top 100 people who didn't already get an interview, so the higher ur ATAR, the lower the UMAT you need to get an interview and vice versa

so when exactly do we find out what the cutoff will be for monoash? why did they have to lower intakes this year.. :(
and do you think SEAS (under-represented school) will have any impact on ATAR/UMAT stream?

you never find out the cutoff, youre either offered an interview or you're not
so you only really find out if you made the cut off or not, but not what the actual value is
and with regards to SEAS, i think its decided on a case by case basis and depends on how under-represented the school is
and nacho, i know the school you go to...its not THAT under-represented compared to a lot of other schools
and thushan, (and others)
where are you guys getting the information about the ATAR/UMAT stream, cause i cant find any documents or info which verify this?
could you guys link me?
im sure about the ATAR stream and the UMAT stream, cause theyve always had them, just not sure about the ATAR/UMAT stream

i don't actually go to mac.rob, my real school is ranked like 440th or something.

ATAR/UMAT stream was discussed at the Med Lecture at Monash Uni Open Day.

lol, i know the school you actually go to, yash told me, but woah 440th, you serious, out of how many schools in victoria though :P
and nah, to answer your question though i dont think SEAS is taken seriously unless its genuine, like so youre saying that EVERYONE in your school is eligible for SEAS cause theyre all from a "bad" school? :P
and like i have friends that are doing SEAS based on nonenglish speaking backgrounds (even though they were born here) and like illnesses which arent even relevant
so i think SEAS is a tad dodgy :P

I feel for you too. But the patterns weren't that bad, or at least I thought. But I keep changing, I feel good about it and then I feel I went terrible... Oh well
Just keeps getting close and closer doesn't it
EEEKKKKK!!!! I can't wait but I don't want to know if that makes sense to anyone else :P

it does make sense don't worry. hope all goes well

If UMAT doesn't go well, remember there's always ATAR/UMAT stream and ATAR stream and UNSW that takes ATAR/UMAT too (ur overall can be even as low as 54 if ur ATAR was 99.95), and also dont forget JCU that doesn't take UMAT!

Which begs the question, surely there's a known cutoff for JCU?
And I'd think my chances for ATAR or ATAR/UMAT stream would be slim :P. Do you reckon they'd be roughly the same as UNSW?

Not too keen on going to QLD to be honest...
If i don't make monash or UNSW, i'll probs try get in through melbourne model

Just to summarise everything as we wait, I've attached the graphics for those of you who may have Qs about percentiles and how they work, as well as the requirements needed for each uni!
Credits go to vexx and MSO for publishing these :)
Remember, the overall score is an average of your 3 scores from the 3 sections.

You'll get chancellor's anyway :)

didn't expect that for section 3, i thought it would have been lower,
seeing as only 20~% prepare for the umat, whilst the rest get p-owned by s3
but then again, since its %iles, it makes sense
btw, the 'score' means %age right? or is it something else
-

haha mate you are a cert for monash. even if you get a bit unlucky in the umat, youll definately get the 99.95
-
roughly estimating from the graph above, it seems you need about 85-90 % in all three sections to get around the monash cutoff
of course you can smash one section and bomb another. etc.
i don't think ill get those 85-90% in section 2 or 1, I might scrape it for section3. Sept 21'st is not looking great
-
btw, the 'score' means %age right? or is it something else
Hmmm, well it's not certain. Supposedly, I think it's meant to be raw score, but the whole weighting process isn't publicly known, so who knows...

Don't lose faith! Just remember, look at how much higher the score is from the 80th-90th percentile, and then how many it is from the 90th to 100t percentile. Absolutely ace one section, and it definitely helps out a lot!
-
what is a raw score?
-
well whats done is done i guess, remember that the results are already known, acer just hasnt told you yet :P
-
what is a raw score?
I just mean that for each section, they would weight questions in order to get these lovely graphs and you would get a final score. Since we don't know how weighting works, you can't really estimate a score...

can someone get some results for dentistry??
or maybe give me an answer.
what do i need for dentistry either latrobe or adelaide uni :)
-
La Trobe doesn't use UMAT. I know of people who have gotten into Adelaide dentistry with a UMAT in the 80s but can't give a lower limit.

Does anyone know if La Trobe will be lenient on non-bio students this year? I know for a fact that many students got into Dent there last year w/o bio, but did chem.

Yup! But she's a genius. Also heard of others who got into latrobe dent without bio! So hoping like crazy they're lenient this year...
-
UMAT scores for Flinders optometry anyone??? I can't find them anywhere.
Thanks in advance :)
-
Just checked website - there's not a cutoff as such, because they take 90% ATAR and 10% UMAT for final rankings, so your UMAT could be anything half-decent really depending on your ATAR.
-
Ok thanks :)
-
i know 2 people who got into latrobe dentistry without biology, but last year it WASNT a prerequisite
i looked at last year's VTAC guide
this year it is :P
but i called them up and they say that if you get a high ATAR, they will consider it
then and again, im not going to bendigo =.= :P
so if anyone here actually wants to go, you can call them up and check with them abt it
-
LOL...don't blame u can't wait to get out of here myself ;D
One of my mates got into dentistry at La trobe last year with a terrible umat and an atar of 86....they r pretty desperate for students to study there...although ur not technically studying there, most of the course is done using monash resources!
what's actually so bad about bendigo? :P
and oh right, but is there options for studying off campus or only being there once or twice a week? :D
i might consider if there is ;)
-
well bendigo is a great place in terms of living, however, in terms of tertiary education (i.e. la trobe) it is a pretty big hole
-
I thought it was the opposite....do you really know where Bendigo is?
Btw, the UMAT is irrelevant for your friend and getting an ATAR of 86 and getting in meant that your friend must have had like the maximum SEAS possible because dentistry is a competitive course and the normal cut off was 99.10 in 2010 and higher in previous years
-
DUDE I LIVE IN BENDIGO! Hence, why I attend Catholic College BENDIGO...LOL ;D

That's what I though that SEAS got him into dentistry however all he had was category 1 (rural scheme)....I know I was like WTF :o
-
Uh you sound like a troll so I don't take your info seriously, but if it is then sorry?
-
Mate I don't blame you for not taking my info seriously...his friends and even the teachers were in utter shock that he got in...I guess he was lucky...BUT HOW???
BTW I'm not a troll dude ;D
Is there an interview for dentistry at La Trobe? If so, that might explain why he got in. However, even if he did destroy the interview he must have been very very very LUCKY!!

Nope i dont think so

Sorry guys my bad....upon further investigation (talking to him on facebook atm) I found out that his atar was 89 and he had SEAS of category 1 and indigenous background category (would not have picked it he looks totally Caucasian). This should clear any misunderstandings

no offence intended,
but don't you think that's a bit rude and prejudiced
if you don't want to take his info seriously thats fine
but i dont think that labelling others is good practice

I was explaining why I asked him my question even though it appeared in his profile, how is that rude?

Guys, get over it, we all know interpretation is hard to grasp over the internet - you should know this, you have all done the UMAT!

Hey guys, just a quick heads up - this is straight from the ACER website, it's officially a week until scores were released this time last year, get excited!
Scores
An online UMAT Statement of Results was made available to all candidates on Wednesday 22 September 2010.
The Statement of Results contains a score for each section of the test, and an overall score. It also provides information on percentile ranks.
Under no circumstances will results be released over the phone, by fax or by email. This is to protect candidate confidentiality.
You will receive a score for each section of the test, and an overall score. You also will be provided with information on your overall percentile rank. Candidates will not be provided with any additional information on the scoring process. All such information remains the property of ACER and the UMAT Consortium. A candidate has no right to examination of ACER’s scoring processes and methodologies.
The universities will set their own UMAT cut-off scores each year. These will be the minimum UMAT scores acceptable for consideration by the admissions committees and may vary from one university to another. The universities may also choose to use the scores in other ways.

He said that to me too (and I'm a friend!), but after further questioning and seeing peoples actual percentile scores online at school, I found that there were only a couple like this (ie. GROSS exaggeration). And these people were only consistent on S1 and S3 (one of whom always got 0-20 on S2). I didn't see anyone with consistent 80+ on S2.

yeah look fellas, the umat is probably not going to be my most successful test
I think personally, my Umat results are dependent on section2, I think that section 2 is one noone can predict. I may have guessed 5 right, or 5 wrong, and the person next to me may have had good luck. Who knows.

Hahaha thanks for the support mate, hopefully all this support from you guys gets me (and all of you guys of course) over the line! I'm really not sure when I want it, have 2 SACs Tuesday, but from Wednesday onwards I have a really cruisy week with a lot of studies - perhaps not the best thing to have your phone checking emails every 5 minutes :P
-
mm on holidays now, so more time to get anxious lol

mm on holidays now, so more time to get anxious lol
You guys have 3 weeks holidays? Jealous!
-
maybe excited wasn't the right word to use, i'm ANTICIPATING might be more accurate
it's like i put a lot of effort and hard work into the umat, and like just getting something back seems like i'm actually getting something in return for the effort i put in, even if i might not be 100% happy with my mark!
im sure SOMEONE has to know what i mean! :D
-
i agree, I feel like I've put in a alot of work, lets hope im not cruelled by luck haha
and yeah 3 weeks holidays this term.

does anyone know if applying to James Cook requires Qtac application?

weirdest thing happened today.
we were analysing the 2010 exam language analysis piece on biodiversity, which contended that 'not enough as been done in the past 10 years... but its not too late'
then my tutor, to the whole class, showed how you could compare it to a parent teacher interview
and she said
'you've bludged the whole year, despite making commitments and aiming for high goals . you screwed up mid years chemistry, you go to tutors and do jack all, UMAT results are out... but its not too late, if you buckle down and work hard, you can still make something of it..'
this is like a perfect description of me.. and she didnt know that i did chem or the umat either. is this some sort of premonition? :/
-
lol, I can imagine her saying that (if we are thinking about the same person)
-

I presume so, how else would you apply?

4 days...
Hahaha yeah, probably won't be that day exactly, we can only hope it is this at the latest!
If anyone is super bored, perhaps trawl through some old threads and find when the 2009 results were released?
-
im pretty sure umat results will either be on the 22nd or 23rd.
they probably already have them ready... :S
but they are just doing their final checks.
-
I think they're usually released on wednesday (they have been for the last few years) which makes it the 21st... ahhhh
-
oh really! shiiit even earlier than i thought.
intriguing.
-
Yup likely 21st hence 4 days
-
If anyone is super bored, perhaps trawl through some old threads and find when the 2009 results were released?
Haha I was just doing this...
2007: 20th
2008: 23rd
2009: 23rd
2010: 22nd
2011: ?
Weird results came on the 20th in 2007... so we could get them as early as Tuesday!
Also, don't read through last year's results thread. I am now very, very scared... :-\
-
where is last years results thread?
-

you should read the results thread on medentry
its all like
'99, 100, 99, 100, 100, 95...'
-
percentiles vs overall scores
That is the one I was reading.... It looks very demotivating and confirms my suspicions of failure.
-
where is last years results thread?
You really don't want to read it.
DEPRESSION
Title says it all.
My expected percentile has now gone down by 20. :(
-
Considering there's been a 20, 22 and 23...they're missing a 21, so they might release it on a 21 this year ;) hehehh (:
which makes it conveniently Wednesday :D
If you guys are really deadset on not wanting to know what you guys got, we all (the AN Community) should run a DoS (Denial of Service) attacks on ACER's Servers :P
-
fuuck
if people like stone cold are getting like 75 percentile I have no hoppeee..
-
i made a post on page 12 of that thread
during the lead up to the umat, i was like S1 = i love problem solving, s2 = da hell, s3 = i wish i did more practice :'(
o the Fey
-
It was amusing to read StoneCold mispredict all his study scores though.
he wanted "as good as score" as fady's for bio and ended up with 4 SS's higher =P
his englang ended up at 49 and his "english" which "stressed him out" and was meant to "ruin his ATAR" turned out to be 46.
what a gun. fkn amazing kid.

My expected percentile is now ~40 :( Especially with geniuses like iffets and stonecold getting in the 70s :o
o the Fey
That is so bad, it's not funny :P
EDIT: holy crap, nacho was training since that 'DEPRESSION' thread!?! That's high motivation right there :)
The template post for my results based on stonecold's (feel free to copy):
Fucking bombed badly. Arguable the worst feeling ever, but I knew it was coming.
4_%ile, S1 __, S2 1_ (absolutely destroyed me) S3 __. Overall score of 3_.
Can't get into anything anymore. Bye bye med, etc. FML!!!! So gutted, especially considering the time I wasted on it. 4 weeks absolutely wasted and on top of that I am now screwed for VCE.

dude that is so unreal. and you worry about your umat scores. you bloody owned this shiit.
so do you kinda like know your enter score already..you know, you'll just casually log on and see a 99.99 and alls normal you know, no surprise there..haha thats great man.

Haha - Yeah, and he is such a genius that ACER actually called him up to make the UMAT for them this year. So, to anyone who thinks they failed, we know who to find..... He is the reason for our mental instability, resulting from the UMAT.
"Lets get him fellas!"
P.S. I'm joking of course =.=
Also, just confirming, there is no mail from ACER about our results.... right?
-

hey you shouldn't be talking luffy....your also so another one of the VN genuises..many on this site
-
maybe we should stop pressuring thushan by saying that he will beast it and such.
i think we saw from last year's thread that the umat can be quite unpredictable (stonecold and vexx)
although, i too feel thushan will beast it, as i have seen the scores he was getting as he posted them on the medentry forums,
it seems like we all have such high expectations he has to live up to. know what im saying?
im not trying to say he'll do bad, but yea, lets just wait for results :)
edit: unless you dont mind this glitz and glamour thushan, in that case, predict away!

LOL, I was reading on the medentry forum and there was this guy (Eric i think) who was gunning 100%ile in all three sections in all the MedEntry papers!
And I was getting owned in S2 and 3 (getting <50%ile remember?)
-
haha, section two was much more ambiguous in the actual umat dw thushan, youll be fine. if the umat doesn't work out, 99.95 alreayd in the bag

all i know is, ur section 1 was an average of 10 marks higher than mine, and i was getting like 70-80%ile for it, so you must have been getting 100%iles!
And im pretty sure your section 3 scores sky-rocketed after a bit of practice
btw, you and luffy were getting the same for your section 1 scores
-
damn, you guys are so encouraging! thanks heaps, and if you guys all do well in UMAT (which you will undoubtedly do) you guys deserve it.
if ACER screws you over, we can petition to kick their ass for this stupid test!
-

AGREED ;D

when do the results come out
-
Should I make a results thread, or do you want to post them here?
-
Make a thread just for results and I'll sticky it as a record. Do all the discussion, congratulations, plan Bs etc. in here
-
Every time this thread pops up and I see the word 'results' my heart skips a beat
-
Okay guys, as Russ said can you please post Results only on [url=http://www.atarnotes.com/forum/index.php?topic=124900.0]this[\url] thread, but continue to have discussions on this thread :)
-
@nacho: i know what you mean but i don't think he minds the attention ;P nahh lol just kidding i did consider that before typing but i guess its also a reminder for him that he should defo not slip now, since he's done so well before if you get what i mean. And like he said, he may have been losing motivation, which is expected as we all do...However nacho you raise a very valid point and @thushan if you do mind in any way just bring it up promptly and it will never be mentioned. It was actually the first time i noticed your marks that is on every post. I always thought you were smart cuz of ur great mid year marks. but seeing that i was like =O wow!!
-
ahaha nemolala you're really nice
nah no worries, this talk is motivation and is indeed a reminder for me not to get complacent and to knuckle down
it's inspiration rather than pressure, and I thank you guys for it!

hi,
i've only recently found this forum and i hav to say the amount of support going around is awesome. everyone here seems to be like so and so is going to smash it and then so and so is like, nooo, u're going to smash it. lol, in the lead up to results my new hobby is pretty much lurking on all umat related forums and reading posts from people who feel the same way i do. its makes the experience seem less daunting i think?
anyway, back to the support, i'd also like to wish everyone good luck...i've got both finges crossed for us.

Yep, that's the aim mate! It's a very unique experience that we're all sharing, and I think because so few people actually understand the enormity of it, it's really good to get some support by both past and present UMATters. Hopefully, it'll make everyone's UMAT experience that little bit less daunting!
Good luck
-
btw, you and luffy were getting the same for your section 1 scores
Haha - but he did well in the ACTUAL section 1, whereas I am nearly certain that I failed pretty hard (due to various reasons).

luffy, remember that day in specialist maths, where we found out that you beat me on a section 1 medentry paper, you were so happy :P LOL!
btw, why would you say you failed, I remember talking to you about it as we were walking out of the centre and you seemed quite happy with section 1 :P

You have a very odd memory Paul..... Neither of those two moments ever happened LOL. While we were discussing section 1 papers, I was never "so happy about it."
And yes, we did talk right after the UMAT. However, I certainly wasn't happy with section 1; it was quite the opposite. I have two words for that day (not just the UMAT) - Epic Fail.

Firstly, try not to give up on VCE, even though continuing on will seem pointless.
You have some options. None of them are particularly flattering but you have to consider them.
-Get a 99.90+ ATAR and then either Monash or Melbourne are likely to take you
-Depending on your UMAT mark, ATAR and medical school preferences, your score may still be good enough for entry into less recognized unis. This of course depends on whether you are willing to move interstate.
-Get a 99+ ATAR and go to unimelb where you will have a guaranteed FFP (200k) post grad med spot. This is subject to passing an interview and maintaining a 75+ average in either biomed or science.
-Again, if you are looking to go interstate, JCU and Griffith do not use UMAT
-Take a gap year and resit the UMAT to try again for Monash
-Start Science/biomed, then resit UMAT and you can try and transfer into med at certain unis. Monash does not however allow this.
-Otherwise, you have to take either science or biomed, get a good GPA, a good GAMSAT mark, do well on an interview and be considered for post grad med at Melb/Deakin Geelong/Monash Gippsland or some other uni interstate.
Sorry if it seems confronting, but those are your options.

Probably 1percentile. Very high chance for atar/umat stream though.

I honestly think that this year's UMAT was much harder to score well in (percentile-wise) than previous years. From my knowledge, in most years, the cutoff for Monash med is 93%, which equated to a rough score of 60, but this year, so many people who received an overall >60 have fallen short of the 93rd percentile. I know someone the year before who got 95% with a score of 61-52-63, but apparently that score can only get you a 89-91% this year D:
Well, it sucks to be in one of the most outstanding year levels ever, guys!! Cheer up, and let's rejoice in the fact that our year level is going to kick VCE ass this year :D
-
Wow awesome job guys!! My scores won't even compare to yours, as expected :P hahahah

As some of you may have noticed, I merged all the discussion posts into this thread (the idea is to have one thread so people can easily see in the future who got what etc.).
You guys think this is a good idea or do you just want a single free for all thread?

how do you get percentile?

as happy as i am with an overall of 73 and 99th percentile, the knowledge that 74 would have gotten me that prized 100 doesn't sit well in my heart! probably some lousy 50-50 section 2 question :(

great effort guys

Hahah who cares man! a 99th percentile = an interview. anyhow, I was expecting 70th-80th percentile for myself, so I was really surprised, and quite frankly I didn't give a damn that I didnt get 100th percentile
-
Given that Monash are offering less interviews through the UMAT stream, what are my chances of getting offered one if I got 95th percentile, overall 196?
-
I got 18 percentile LOL
p.s be happy that you beat me ;)
-
To everyone moping about getting a 92nd percentile or thereabouts (in regards to not getting into Monash MBBS), remember that it's the sum of your section scores, NOT your overall score or your percentile that counts for that course. Some of you are likely to still have a fair chance.
-

Very high, almost certain.
I think 62 overall was cut-off last year :)

Overall score is just the average of your section scores, with the percentiles then being based off this. Ultimately, point is, they're all derived off each other anyway so I don't really see your point. And I think the reason why they're somewhat scared is because the cut-off several years ago was actually 93 percentile. Not too sure what the trend has been like the last two years though.

cutoff last year was 93rd percentile... but likely to increase due to restriction in number of interviews

epic scores, congrats! gl to the rest of you, hope u guys get into med or whatever else you need UMAT for (join us pharm kids :D)

Pretty sure that at the med Monash open day lecture, they said they were using 'overall score' instead. And last year it was 62. Might be wrong though.

Yeah and it doesn't really matter if 63 is higher than last year's cutoff - because the percentile this year is lower which means more people got higher (and will get the interviews)... I'm just hoping for an ATAR/UMAT interview if I manage a high enough ATAR....
Although I am glad they're using overall scores haha because mine was rounded down... :P

Congrats everyone! I'm in awe of you all, regardless of what score you may have received. Merely giving it a go is an achievement in itself :)

Underestimated by probably 15% I reckon, was hoping to do well but not THAT well, especially S2 and sort of S1!

underestimated by 12%
i hoped to get higher but knew it was pretty much a roulette spin, so i could guarantee an interview but such is life.
maybe ill gun a 99.95 hahah

Does anyone know the minimum % to get in...is it like 95+ or.. 97+ :(
EDIT: for interviews
-
Not sure, last year it was 93rd percentile. For UMAT stream apparently (according to Monash Admissions) the cutoff for UMAT total is in the vicinity of 200 this year (so I'd say about 190 to 200).

Does anyone know how many interviews Monash are doing for the UMAT stream? I'm really really hoping a total of 196 will make the cut ):
-
i emailed them about this, its roughyl a 400 200 split
they also said for the Atar umat stream, atars needed to me minimum of 99
-
does anyone know if they offer interviews just straioght to the top 400 or whether they take into account your preferences, i.e if you have registered with VTAC and put it as no.1
-

They definitely take VTAC preferences into account. They're not about to go giving interviews to random people in New Zealand because they got a good umat score.

*Shattered* I was so happy because I thought I'd be in for a December interview ):
by the way, are equal amounts of 100th percentile and 90th percentile awarded? Or do they use a bell curve?
-
And yet another question to further JDogs stats, are we of any benefit actually getting an early interview and being in the UMAT stream? Or are we ranked against those from the atar UMAT stream - and hence, are there X number of positions available for each stream?

I asked about this too, they said they decide after every interview has been conducted, and rank them overall, so there are no allocated spots. That makes sense becuase a person with 95 % shouldn't ahve a better chance than a person with 94% if we assume 95% is the cutoff.
I have to nail enter and umat,

Id be fairly confident if i was you, i think the cutoff will be 94 or 95 this year, it would be ludicrous to have it any higher

Did you ask them about any predictions regarding the cutoffs for ATAR/UMAT interviews? If the cutoff is say ~195 (for pure UMAT interviews) do you reckon 190 and 99.5ish would have a chance?

We said this about graduate entry and were wrong. Not to scare anyone or say you won't get in, but my point is that you should just do your best and let other people worry about the cutoffs you can't control

I highly doubt that. Only like 100 people in the sate get that or above, and less than 50% want to do med...

yeah the estimate this bloke gave was indeed rough, but he is a MBBS student, who is well respected. he is the head lecturer of that connect ed program,.
and i asked a mate at school who has a friend on the admissions board and he quoted "high 99's" s
its always good to strive high, getting a 99.8 will hold you in better stead than a 99.5

I agree, but what I think I will do is just work as hard as I can and see what happens. I won't specifically say I am aiming for a 99.7 so that i will get an interview, but rather just bust my gut to get the highest i can. if thats not good enough so be it; but not going to get to the end of the year saying if i had spent more time shit coulda been differnet.

I don't think JDog meant 99.8+ as an ATAR floor. That's with a UMAT percentile of 92; suppose your UMAT percentile is 95 and 96 was the cut (hypothetically) you might only need a 99 - again they simply take people who don't already have an interview, get their ATARs and UMATs, mash them together to get a combined total, then take the top ~200.
Having said that 99.8+ with a 92nd percentile UMAT I think is a tad high - I'd think closer to 99.6 (remember this is for interviews, NOT admission).
This information may help; of the CSP metro students in first year med this year (excluding bonded):
ATAR (median) = 99.30
UMAT (median) = 62 (I think this was 95th percentile last year)
Interview (median) = 86 (presumably out of 100)

Haha that should get you in.

mm, I think my time at school has left me with some good interviewing skills hahah
Dr donaldson was much more intimidating than i think any of the med interviewers would be . ;)

Hahaha I remember Donaldson too...yeah he was pretty intimidating - but only when he's standing up - he's so tall!!
But he was really friendly - I swear my interview with him turned out to be a chat if anything...

yeah for sure, once you start talking to him its fine, but walking into that office, for the first time..

Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know;
Rang admissions today, apparently interviews are the first two weeks in December, we will receive an email late October with a link to choose a designated day/time in which to attend.
Also found on the course details that apparently the dates are 7th - 15th December for Clayton, sooo I presume this would be the actual dates...
I'm on schoolies until the 9th...don't take my few days I have to do it people :P . The erm "nice" lady told me if I'm considering staying at schoolies in preference of a Med interview, perhaps I'm not the best applicant hahaha. Didn't give me the chance to say I was trying to book an early flight home if so :P
-
which email address do they send it to? i'm assuming the one you gave to vtac?
-
Congratulations everyone on achieving such a remarkable score. I wish you all the best for your interviews in december! :)
I am in Year 11 and I am sitting the UMAT next year.
Did you use medentry to prepare for the UMAT? and if so how often did you use it? and to what degree did you find it helpful?
should I start preparing now or is it alright if I start in December?
