Hi everyone,
Just wondering what my chances of getting into the university of adelaide for medicine this year are? I have an atar of 96.30 and a umat of 96% (190 raw). I think my interview went well but I'm not 100% sure.

Hello!
As you might already know, UAdel looks at ATAR, UMAT and interview in the ratio of 2:1:2, meaning that a decent interview will make quite the difference. While your ATAR may be on the low side (especially if you're non-rural), your UMAT may bump you up and a good interview may land you with an offer ;D If you have other special considerations (e.g. rural, EAS), that further increases your admission chances.
No one can really predict what will happen. Beside, you have almost a week until SATAC main round offers come out anyway.
Best of luck!!

As cookiedream said, the interview is 40% of your overall offer so it’s really hard to say whether you will get in, given the semi-structured interview can be subjective and unpredictable, and UAdel interview way more people than places (700 people for 120 spots approximately). That being said, it’s more difficult for a good UMAT to make up for an ATAR on the lower side (compared to other universities) as the academic result is worth 40% and the UMAT result is only worth 20%.
