SO are they going on overall percetile?
Or sum of raw scores add up?
Like 48+53+58= 158?
Wat are my channces with these scores?
-
I think they are going with your overall score.
Last year's cutoff was 59, as has been mentioned in other threads.
-
So if you get below this u got no chances, like even just below?
-
If the cutoff score this year was 59 again and if u got less than that, then u have close to no chance.
-
Unless of course you are from a rural area or have Aboriginal heritage.
-
i have never wished to be more poor and aboriginal in my life than now.
-
Umm, poor doesn't really help, unless you're equating being poor with being rural . . or aboriginal
There are some rich rural kids in my course, not many, but a few

Man if u were aboriginal, u can get in any course u like! lol :)

Besides the only thing one gets in a rural scheme is an interview place
You'll have to dominate that interview to anywhere close to an offer, whilst constantly showing that you'll go and work in the country. Getting an interview is the easy part. 700 get interviewed, about 500 get cut
-
So can i still be considered for a rural interview?
-
By the way those werent my scores, i am speaking on behalf of my friend who is concerned about his chances of getting in.
-
So ganges what did u get?
-
So can i still be considered for a rural interview?
Are u from the a rural area?
-
No, but i heard you can still try to get in throught that stream.
I got 91 percentile, but i am still unsure whether i wud get in through the CSP mainstream given how competitive its going to be this year.

The "rural scheme" is the Dean's Rural List.
The ERC scheme is open to metropolitan melbourne students too, but there is no real reduction in the UMAT requirement.
The dean's rural list is only open to students who lived in a rural area for 5 consecutive or 8 cumulative years

-how does the university contact you?
-When do they contact you? before or after enter scores are out?
-If you don't get in, do they automatically send a rejection letter, say even if you didn't apply for medicine?
-
- by letter
- before ENTER scores but (I think) after you submit your preferences
- rejection letter if you applied for medicine yes, not sure what happens if you didn't
-
When they make actual offers for the course, it's just done through VTAC.
Only successful students are contacted
-
oh my bad i thought you meant interviews not offers
