Hahaha I remember Donaldson too...yeah he was pretty intimidating - but only when he's standing up - he's so tall!!

But he was really friendly - I swear my interview with him turned out to be a chat if anything...

Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know;

Rang admissions today, apparently interviews are the first two weeks in December, we will receive an email late October with a link to choose a designated day/time in which to attend.

Also found on the course details that apparently the dates are 7th - 15th December for Clayton, sooo I presume this would be the actual dates...

I'm on schoolies until the 9th...don't take my few days I have to do it people :P . The erm "nice" lady told me if I'm considering staying at schoolies in preference of a Med interview, perhaps I'm not the best applicant hahaha. Didn't give me the chance to say I was trying to book an early flight home if so :P
2010: Business Management [47]
2011: English [44]   |   Chemistry [45]  |   Methods [44]   |   Specialist [42]   |   MUEP Chemistry [5.0]   |   ATAR: 99.60
UMAT: 69 | 56 | 82 | = [69 / 98th Percentile]
2012: MBBS I @ Monash

Congratulations everyone on achieving such a remarkable score. I wish you all the best for your interviews in december!  :)
I am in Year 11 and I am sitting the UMAT next year.
Did you use medentry to prepare for the UMAT? and if so how often did you use it? and to what degree did you find it helpful?
should I start preparing now or is it alright if I start in December?
