Interview for 2010 entry was 90%ile, and the year before it was 93%ile.
It will probably be the same around 90%ile this year..

because it was definitely 90%ile for it was a raw score of 60 (equates to ~90%ile).

2007 min - 90th percentile
2008 min - 92nd
2009 mins - 94th :s

So it should be 96 this year then?
Wow that's high!
mm my calculations show that in the year 2012, you will require 100 percentile!!! lmfao

And that is why the world will end in 2012. :P

Sorry.
I'll try to ensure that the spelling is perfect for any future posts :)
Yes they were doing chemistry, in fact they attained a score of 49....
I've heard from a few people as well that last year's cut off was 93rd..

Yeah but they had to buy certified questions that cost a lot each, hire all the test centres across earth, print 20k books with jumbled/unique questions and then destroy 20k books
destroy the precious?, think about how much medentry makes...awww $550 per student.

i think they really need to come up with something better than umat.  it used to work, but now it is seriously just a joke.  perhaps a series of intensive interviews or something with lots of situational activities.  perhaps even compulsary work experience in a hospital or something.

for mine, the umat is just dumb, pointless and honestly comes down to luck for many.

there are always the select few who will dominate it no matter what, and i have a lot of respect for those people, but tbh it doesn't mean shit in terms of being a good healthcare professional.
fucking A stonecold...

Stonecold I respect the hard work you put in, but mate, saying that is pretty naive of you. If you become a health professional, you'll realise that it actually IS a decent test. No doubt it can come down to luck, but there NEEDS to be a test that TRIES to seperate med wannabies from med want to bes.

sadly, all the umat evaluates is ability to do well in the umat...
u go to some of the leading doctors of the present day and ask them to find patterns or pick the middle figure in a sequence..


lol.  thankyou.  take the umat to your local doctor and i can confidently say that they will tell you to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

umat is a big charade to make money, and imo can be likened the harry potter sorting hat. pointless, random and stupid.

even if by some miracle i do make the cut off, i will continue to criticise it.  i can 100% see where james lu was coming from with the whole vce is broken thing too.  i feel the same about it, and these feelings extend to the umat as well.
