i think i am living proof that the interview in med counts for a lot.

i got the lowest possible umat to get an interview, 61
a dissapointing enter of 95.30

and i got in, most likely cos of what must have been a kick-ass interview.

Congrats thats amazing.

Congrats. I received an ENTER score of 95.15 I was considering to apply for an irregular offer to get into Medicine at Monash. Do you it is possible considering the fact that my personal background has been really tough and it has impacted on my VCE performance.

You can't get in. There are extra requirements that had to be met months ago.

[kurrymuncher]

and actually getting an irregular offer is pretty hard too, from what I've heard.

First of all: Congratulations

Would you mind explaining what you mean by being in the rural cohort but not a rural student? Does that mean that after studying medicine, you have to work in the 'rural areas' for a certain number of years?

Oh, there is the ERC stream with medicine, which basically involves going on clinical rotations in rural areas instead of metropolitan areas.

Wow. Thanks for sharing that with us.
You must be a good talker

[ham]

thanks guys.
not a 'slick' talker, just a guy that has had interesting experiences, likes a challenge and can communicate ideas well i guess,

things like looking someone in the eye and smiling are worth 1000x more points that and enter of 99.95
i found out today that i got offered a bonded scholarship as well, there are only 6 places for that.

[hard]

congrats ham.
 what still confuses me is how do he interviewers remember how ever single person went on their interview? i mean do they like write down how the interview is going during the interview or what?

[bridgethuss]

3 people from my school got into medicine. their enters were 97, 95, 93

The interviewers do jot down some notes about what you're saying during the interview.  They also take a photo of you before your interview so they can match the name with the face, I guess!
