What percentile do you need in the UMAT to get into MBBS?
Thanks
-
Cut-off was around 93 percentile in my year.

Assuming he wants Monash.

As the only Victorian UG med program it's a fair assumption

I've been trying to find out what the cut-off was for Adelaide. I'm happy to do undergrad anywhere.
I take your point though.
-
Well yeh, usually lower elsewhere. I think UNSW and Tas is around the same or possibly higher though. Adelaide would probably be about mid to high 80s as the bare minimum I think?
-
thanks for that :)

I have a friend at UoA, I'll ask him next time I see him
-
UTAS need 100%ile for interstate applicants.
UNSW uses a sliding scale, which can be found here:

UQ needs a 50 in every section to be considered.
It changes every year though.

I think i'll only consider doing undergraduate med in victoria (monash), thanks for the info tho :D

61 was cutoff for 2010 interviews, 60 for 2009..

wow you got 98 percentile!!! got any tips????
also does the cut off eg 61 get scaled to a percentile?
-
^ naa, a raw score of 61 can be a range of percenitles, as the raw secitons scores are not equally weighted...
tips? medentry FTW, i wud be nowhere without them...

Well you can get into MBBS with a wide range of UMATS.
If you want to get a first round interview offer in UADEL, UNSW, UWS, Monash etc, then you would want 91 Percentile or higher.
[bold]Remember this is only to get an interview offer, so for med applicants 91%ile is not a good score at all, it is rather the bare minimum and 95 would be average[/bold]
Hence, if you want a strong competitive UMAT score, then anything above 96 is excellent. Otherwise, if you want something that'll get you an interview, then then 91 or above should be your aim.
For UADEL second round offers, 85-91 percentiles should also get interview places.
For Queenslad, if you get an OP1 (any atar that is 99.00 or above) then UMAT percentiles from the low 80s to 100 should get a place in UQ MBBS. No interviews at UQ.
So, if you want a strong UMAT and are unsure about your ATAR or the interviews, then 96 or above would be best for you.
If you have a strong atar and are confident about the interviews, then anything above 91 should be fine for you.
Alternative entry methods (such as UQ without the interview) can attract applicants with lower UMAT scores.
hope this helps
but remember not to stress yourself out about the UMAT, just do ur best
good luck
P.S. if u have medentry, use it wisely, it can be gold for S3 but maybe not helpful for everyone in S2
