Hey,
I am curious to know when the UMAT results will be released?
Late September, as it says on the website, doesn't help and I would like to prepare myself for when the results do come.
Thank you.
-
If last year is any indication, I'm guessing around the 19th of September?
I'm totally freaking out at the moment :/
-
All you can do right now is curse monash for being one of the hardest unis to get into for medicine in Australia and the only one in victoria.
Damn them all...
-
Try not to stress too much guys, most active members on AN have done really well in recent years, take some confidence in that! :)
(and GO MONASH WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!)
-
They'll be released within the next week, I believe - was last year!
-
This will not be good for my psychological well-being (but let's hope for the best)
-
Just realised that last year they came out on a Monday! :D
-
Now I am worried.
-
Now I am worried.
Why? It only determines your whole entire future...... I kid, I kid. :P
Take a few deep breaths.. smoke a joint.. do whatever it takes to alleviate the stress homie.. peace
-
Now I am worried.
I'm excited for you guys! :D
-
Does that mean UMAT has no set release date and you just get the results on a random day?
-
Well all the say is "late September". Could really be any day after today i guess.
-
Does that mean UMAT has no set release date and you just get the results on a random day?
Pretty much, being unexpected is somewhat better imo, no need to stress about a date like ATARs and VTAC offers.
-
They release results 'when they're done', so yes. They have internal dates to meet but not a public one for final results
-
Does anyone know where they actually post them? is it just on the UMAT site under "results" or..?
-

There will be a link on the UMAT homepage and directions on the email they send. I'ts rather straightforward :)
-
Apparently results have been out on Monday for the last 3 years! :D
-
And apparently this is not the case this year :(
-
Appears not (unless it's next Monday) :(
Nothing like a little wait though :D
-
Edited thread title for discussion, posting new thread for results only so that they don't get lost etc.
gl all
-
I can wait until next monday! I can do it. I can wait.
-
It was out on the 19th last year, which was a Tuesday I guess? So I still think result would be up this week!!!!
-
OMG!!!!! UMAT results are OUT!!
-
OMG!!!!! UMAT results are OUT!!
False alarm. Don't lie. It is not out.
-
Calm down guys, no need for down-voting, he's just having a laugh haha
-

hahahaha got excited and scared for a moment there!

Confirmed you need to go to this site to get your results:
https://umatreg.acer.edu.au/candidates
ACER "don't actually have a set date", the guy said it will definitely be between now (23rd) and late September. He also said they recommend constant checking, but *sounded* like we wouldn't have to wait too much longer. My guess would be tomorrow but who knows.
-
Time to find my umat id now :)
-
*thump thump thump* (the sound of my heart beating really fast)

i think waiting is far worse than knowing... the suspense, man!!! :D

That depends on what your UMAT score is :P

I'd honestly rather know that I did shit than not know at all, cause at least if I know that I did shit, I would use that as incentive to pick up my game and start working harder :P
-
If you do shit, you do shit. Thats it. Theres no, "working harder", unless of course you want to sit next year's.

Just noticed this - pretty cool :D
in clear umat style, there's a pattern :D

I think the waiting makes your head a bit "..." you know...
-
In my brother's year at school, 2 people who got 99.85 did not get into medicine the first time because of UMAT scores. They are both currently doing medicine or have already finished. The UMAT is not the be-all and end-all of your pursuit to study medicine, so don't be too distressed by a negative result!

LOL! i don't think it's just the waiting!
-
If it makes anyone feel better, I smashed the umat under 30 minutes for each section and so did everyone else at my school.
Jokes I didn't finish on time for any of them...
-

No, you still have so much more to do, your whole year 12 isn't even over yet, you have all that to work harder for, what are you talking about?

This sums it up perfectly! There's so many more opportunities even if you get a shit score, you just gotta be persistent!
-
Dear Acer officials,
Thank you for making such an amazing test. I know it must be a "huge" task to get all the papers marked, but can you release the result, so that I don't need to have intimate sex with my F5 button?
Thank you.

tbh I would be pretty distressed over spending an extra year or two at uni (that is if you actually get into postgrad.) because of a multiple choice test.

Spending an extra 2 years at uni is the best thing you could do

Okay fine I will defer to you on this since I have no experience of attending university (yet) but I would imagine it would still be a very academic life which would be similar to the horrors of secondary school due to studying a lot for the gamsat and maintaining a high-ish GPA in order to be a likely candidate for a spot in postgrad med as opposed to getting straight into undergrad. med and feeling much less pressure after jumping that hurdle.
-

I WISH I POSSESSED THIS NATURAL ABILITY.
Honestly, if I get anything above 94th percentile or something, I will literally cry tears of happiness. It seems unlikely though...

I believe we are talking about UMAT. This is the UMAT "Discussion Thread"
Unless you haven't realised, I was talking about the bigger picture, that no matter what your UMAT score is, what's done is done, you can't change it, it's set in stone, what you can still change, however, is how well you do on your end of year exams, and don't forget that if you want to get into med, they are just as important as the UMAT, so what I'm trying to say is that the UMAT is not the be all and end all of your life.
Either way, I was making a point which I think is reasonable, why are you so uptight and aggressive?

If you don't get enough %ile in UMAT, you won't get an interview
If you don't get interview, you won't have chances to get into med undergrad
If you don't get into med undergrad and have to do the course you don't want, its truly sh**
Even you can study med postgrad, you still have to suffer 3 years in uni and overcome GAMSAT. Its so sh**
And you don't get into med, you have to do the job which you don't enjoy at all for the rest of your life. Its really sh**
It seems hurt but its the fact!
Having said that, don't worry everyone! If you tried you best, you should be proud. Scores ain't everything!

That was my aim at the start of the year, and then my expectations and aims decreased as the test loomed closer :P
I have a feeling that the results will be released by 11.30 tomorrow morning.

No, you still have a chance at the second round of interviews (Monash)
On top of that you still might get guaranteed entry into MD at UoM
You might also be offered an interview at another university in Australia
It's nowhere near as bleak as you make it out to be

whilst i agree that this was a bit bleak (personally, im really really glad i didnt go interstate for med, and stuck with biomed), i dont think nisha's was bleak. i think she was just trying to say that when results come out, theres no point worrying or being upset, because whats done is done.
-
Coming out soon, either today or tomorrow, accounts are being updated as we speak :)
-
As in some people got the results already?

Nah, just they've seen their account being updated, should be out on Monday

I'm too scared to check :O

GOodluck, I am excited and nervous for you guys!

AND, if your UMAT wasn't as as expected, there's still JCU, don't lose hope yet please!
And Syd Uni as well
Just UMAT, it makes most of people here so nervous. Imagine 17 Dec we get ATAR ... :'( totally dead
-
I checked...
Defintely no more under-grad med for me
-
Sydney Uni has an undergrad med ?
-

You need like 99.95

You need like 99.95
You need exactly 99.95
-
BioMed it is! Always wanted to go to Melb Uni anyways :D
-
So ummm... What's the estimated cut off for monash interviews again ? :(
Ugh did so bad in section 2 - not surprised, just disappointed.
-
Sydney Uni has an undergrad med ?
they have medical science or science combined with bachelor of med/surgery.
If you get into this course, you don't have to do GAMSAT and just go straight to med/surgery after finishing undergrad course
Sydney Uni has an undergrad med ?
You need like 99.95
You need exactly 99.95
And interview as well
But for international students, its > 99.50 (still very high anyway)
-

I'd say if your overall is 190+ you should be alright. But this is just my own speculation, and not the words from the dep.
-

Same here. I don't know why but I really like Mel Uni except they don't have med undergrad
-
oh lol i checked again and my percentile went up by 1 ... YAY! jokes still a shit score.
-
i got 80th percentile after so much hard work.( All medentry exams twice over) What now?

Does monash need a 50 in each section?

No

take MBBS off 1st since no chance now?

DON'T!

WOW. When looking at my UMAT score, I started laughing. I was never good at tests.
Thank God, I don't want to do med.
For all those smart people that want to get in to med and have most probably got higher than me:
Don't worry about it. Eventually you will get to your desired destination. Sometimes its not the end result, but the journey that matters.

Guys, if you don't get a good UMAT result, don't stress. You can still get a really prestigious job - just come and do Arts and Secondary Education with me! :D
-
Sometimes its not the end result, but the journey that matters.
Great advice
(and for those taking med interviews, this is what they want to hear about too haha)

When do you think the website will be back up?
-
It is back up
-
Is 91%ile too low?
-
See The "Will I get an interview with this UMAT?" query
And a reminder to post results here UMAT Results Thread

did absolutely horrible....
i thought i could have at least gotten a half decent mark >_<
studieed so hard for this exam....
score not enough for anywhere in the country.
-
Don't forget JCU!!!!

Guys and gals,
A quick guide on umat results and the inevitable "zomg, will I get interview at monash." Anything around 85 (+ or - a few) onwards keep monash med first preference. If you boss atar then you can cop an interview and beat the chumps that think they are sitting pretty with high umats but shit interviews. Cutoff will probably be around 94-95 for first round offers. Ideally for second round you want high 80's to low 90's with good atar (99+)
I know the anxiety you are feeling, happy to answer any queestions regarding this. Don't be scared to hit me up.
xoxo
-
btw guys, JDog does Monash med :)
-
Guys - just something to consider - I posted before on this, but I don't know whether many ppl know about it.
ANU offers a PhB/MBBS degree - 7 years. ATAR 99+. Reference needed, written application needed. There may also be an interview. UMAT is NOT considered.
http://cmbe-cpms.anu.edu.au/files/phb_application1.pdf
Above is the application form for those who are interested!
-
hey guys got 98th percentile. but 49 in section 2. will that impact my chances for monash med or do they just look at the overall score?
-

'
Overall only. Well, sum of the three sections (which is basically pretty much overall x 3).
-

Only overall score :)
Great work, add it to UMAT Results Thread!
-
Okay thanks guys that's a relief. :)
Which universities require 50-50-50 on each section?
Also roughly what sort of atar would be required now for me to obtain a spot in monash?
Thanks for you help!

99+ wouldn't hurt, and you still have to do well on the interview.

I thought Monash wants some 98 Atar kids for 2nd round this year. They set up a new scholarship i think...

Is it worthwhile putting undergraduate medicine at Monash as part of my preferences (1,2,3 for the three places), considering that I got a percentile <60? I don't want to be a doctor, it's more so guilt by family and I tend to buckle under it, even for the most simplest things. Dentistry seems appealing but it's out of the question because undergrad requires biology. I'm not interested in postgrad, really want that sense of security if you can understand that.
Cheers
-
Doesn't really matter, if your scores are not high enough, you will be given your next highest preference whether it be 6 or 12

If you don't wanna become a doctor, whats the point of putting MBBS?

If you're not interested in med, there's no real point in having it up there. And in all honesty, with that UMAT there really isn't a chance anyway :(
Leave it there if you like, but all they're doing is clogging up preferences, VTAC will just skip them anyway.
-
I got a percentile score of 89. I was very disappointed to be honest because I was hoping to get in Monash. I was wondering though whether they still have second round interviews?

If you're not interested in med, there's no real point in having it up there. And in all honesty, with that UMAT there really isn't a chance anyway :(
Leave it there if you like, but all they're doing is clogging up preferences, VTAC will just skip them anyway.
idk, there's no point in leaving it up there, so you might as well to be honest.

They are having some "scholarship" interviews, but no-one here is quite sure what they will entail.

What do you mean "scholarship" interviews? Is it for scholarship applicants?

As in:
The MBBS will offer some additional interviews in January to highly ranked applicants based on UMAT and eligibility for the following:
• Monash Scholarship for Exceptional Achievement (ATAR eligibility 99.95)
• Monash Scholarship for Outstanding Achievement (ATAR eligibility 99.90)
• Monash Scholarship for Excellence (ATAR eligibility 99.00)
• Vice-Chancellor’s Access Monash Scholar’s Program (ATAR 90 or above - interviews offered to highly ranked applicants)."
Although I'm yet to hear a reasonable explanation as to what that 3rd dot-point means.

Hey guys,
So say I get an ATAR>99, with a UMAT percentile of 99, what are the chances of getting into Monash Med???
I'm feeling relieved but stressed out at the same time :-\
-
If you don't wanna become a doctor, whats the point of putting MBBS?
The angst of familial pressure to say the least.
Is it worthwhile putting undergraduate medicine at Monash as part of my preferences (1,2,3 for the three places), considering that I got a percentile <60? I don't want to be a doctor, it's more so guilt by family and I tend to buckle under it, even for the most simplest things. Dentistry seems appealing but it's out of the question because undergrad requires biology. I'm not interested in postgrad, really want that sense of security if you can understand that.
Cheers

Pretty good chances LOL

haha totally serious - I'm just thinking about how badly I'd have to stuff up an interview :-\
aka that in between stage of happiness versus the fact that we're not at the finish line just yet!!

Honestly it will come down to the interview, but you have a good chance nonetheless, I got an ATAR > 99.00 and a UMAT percentile of 99 and I managed to get into MBBS at Monash, so if you do well on the interview you should be pretty certain of securing a place.
Btw, I should also mention that I DIDN'T get into UNSW, so don't take anything for granted.
-
Does that mean I should or shouldn't?
It probably won't matter because unless you get 99.95, you won't get an interview with 80th Percentile at Monash.
Honestly though, if you truly don't want to do Medicine from the bottom of your heart, don't, you'll just be wasting your life.

Well, if you totally bomb the interview then you won't make it.
But stay positive! :)

Be careful, it's easier to do badly in an interview than you think, I didn't think I bombed the UNSW Interview (thought I did reasonable, not well, but OK at least) and I didn't get any offers, not even a bonded place.

LOL I bombed the Monash Interview :P
For the record, 86th percentile + 99.75 atar got me a second round interview last year

I failed. Literally.
No Monash or interstate Med universities for me...

I was wondering, if I scored so low on the umat if I should even bother trying to do achieve medicine?
There's still JCU and Griffith!
And another one :)
Guys - just something to consider - I posted before on this, but I don't know whether many ppl know about it.
ANU offers a PhB/MBBS degree - 7 years. ATAR 99+. Reference needed, written application needed. There may also be an interview. UMAT is NOT considered.
http://cmbe-cpms.anu.edu.au/files/phb_application1.pdf
Above is the application form for those who are interested!
Plus Syd Uni ;)
Never give up on your dream!!!

^Couldn't have said it better myself :)
-
Thanks guys, I'll consider them. :)
I'm surprised that I'm not feeling too depressed, disappointed, but not depressed.
I guess this is more of a life lesson to not give up on anything you've dreamt for, more than anything else. Time to smash VCE.

VCE is easier to smash than UMAT IMO :) you'll be fine :D

68 47(wtf) and 75, 94th percentile. What are my chances of getting a first round interview before you get your atar? Also its not possible for me to get a second round entry unless i put medicine first is it? Because i'm really tossing up between that and actuarial studies

Haha, I was tossing up between the two too!
Look, I think you've got a good chance of a first round offer as the UMAT cut *should* go down :)

What did you end up picking out of curiosity?

the UMAT cut *should* go down :)
why is this?

I disagree, I doubt that the UMAT cut will go down, considering it's been going up for the past few years, but we'll see.

You forget that they don't have proper second round interviews, so there would be more interview places for this round.

That was Faculty's decision. No idea why.

Exactly, most people think it will go down because they'll go back to the 2010 interview style, ~600 interviews compared to the ~450 of last year. Hence a decrease in cut which I hope will be as low as 190 (which is still higher than 2010)

@yoyopanda, the UMAT cut for UQ last year was 174 and 99 ATAR was needed (including bonus points)

I got 68, 56, 61-->91st percentile too!! I hope this is enough for the Dean's Rural list. Finger crossed for both of us

58, 73, 72 > Percentile rank 98
However, I'm not at all confident with my potential atar score - most likely a mid 98 to a very low 99.
Assuming my interviews are decent, which universities are 'relatively easier' to get in?
Is Monash out of reach with of 98.5 atar? I have heard they usually accept scores around 99.5, at least 99+.

With a good interview you should be fine for Monash :)
