Monash has made a few slight changes, but here are the facts in a nutshell:

- Interview selection is 100% UMAT (unless you get 99.95).
- UMAT calculated as the sum of the three scores, unweighted. (last year it was overall score)
- ATAR:UMAT:Interview = 1:1:1 still
- ATAR > 90 still
- If you get 99.95, then you can get a late interview if your UMAT total is at least 150 (last year it was -10 off UMAT cutoff).

Wouldn't really call that a change. The overall score is calculated by dividing the sum of your three section scores by 3 (i.e. average of your section scores). Therefore, nothing's actually changed there

Yeah, the chances have remained slim, but nonetheless unchanged. I shall let you know in ~2 months time whether this is ok or not

why is it called MBBS when it should be called BMBS?

It's based off what the Latin name for it was. Not too sure how their grammar works but somehow it turns out like that.

just a little curious:
"a minimum score of 150 will be needed to be considered.."
how exactly is this score calculated?
i still dont understand what it means when someone gets say,
64 for section 1, 85 for section 2, 70 for section 3, for example and like a 98%ile
