How to get into Medicine

[Jenny_2108]

Oh I thought you just get guaranteed entry so I don't have to do the GAMSAT? cos its undergraduate entry I'm not sure on this though :/

LOL Sorry, I searched multiple uni for this course so I mixed them up.
You do UMAT but bachelor of sc major in biomed/maths/psy is compulsory as a part of course

Btw, if you dont have enough UMAT requirement, you can study undergrad separately then apply for postgrad of MBBS (require GAMSAT) but if you have high score in UMAT and pass interview, just go straight for bachelor of sc/med/surgery (no GAMSAT)

Yeah hopefully my UMAT is good enough that I can get into monash, otherwise I'll have to explore interstate. If all undergraduate courses fail I will go to UoM then do the Gamsat after

Does anyone know the general percentile score required on the UMAT to be accepted for an interview at universities other than monash?

I think they're all about the same except for a few that require 99th-100th percentile from interstate applicants because they prefer students from their state of residence.

That's only for Tasmania I believe (where you need 100th percentile).

Just fyi unstickying this as the info is a bit out-dated. I'll try and add the relevant bits to our Resources thread (most of it is there). For those who want more detailed info, best bet is the see each uni's page in the most recent ACER UMAT Handbook


(also, I'm making a new table summary for y'all)
