UMAT 2012 - Final thoughts

[Surgeon]

Ladies and gentlemen,

D-day is finally upon us. This is the day that many of us have been preparing tirelessly for. This is it.

For many of us, the UMAT will be the deciding factor on whether we get into undergraduate medicine (especially those like me who are relying on a high UMAT score to make up for a less-than-exceptional ATAR!).

Just know that even if things don't go well, there are always different avenues you can take to fulfil your dreams.

This is all I can really say at the moment, I don't want to get too emotional.

I wish you all the best of luck and look forward to speaking to you all about it post-UMAT.

If you don't mind, I'd like to leave myself a little memento in the form of a message to my future self and predict my percentile. Maybe you guys would like to do the same



Surgeon,

How was the UMAT!? I've been dying to know! Just know that, no matter what the outcome is, you tried hard. You spent long, gruelling hours into the early hours of the morning preparing for this. You tried your best and that's all anybody, including you, can expect of yourself. There are always other avenues into Medicine.

If you did well, congratulations. Your hard-work paid off as you hoped it would.

Good job and once again congratulations on putting the UMAT behind you.

I wish you the best of luck with your subsequent studies.

From your past self.

Predicted percentile = 90th.
