deaaaaad for results.

[DarkVisor]

So what do you guys reckon the cutoff will be this year?

93 i'd say

If the number of places stay the same I doubt it's gonna change much from 93, but has the government 25% rural places been implemented before this year?

[SamiJ]

it is ironic, that all of the above posters will probably dominate the UMAT.

HAHAHAHA I wish!

Ahaha count me in too!

Ok I'll add you to the slowly growing list lol

Yes, it's been that way for a while

95-96 I think. UWA went bust last year - they dont offer undergrad med anymore - and Monash is offering fewer interviews.

But this is not all bad - because they have a UMAT (this round of interview) stream and an ATAR/UMAT stream now

[nemolala]

they have a cut off too?! wow. isnt 93 pretty high?

[BoredSatan]

didnt like 0 get into med last year despite 10 being offerred interviews?

yep, youre certainly right

OMG only a handful
We've only had one kid in med in the past 10 years hahaha

yeah, but at our school 40% of our students get ATAR's above 90, about 7% (last year) got above 99.00
that's why its surprising (before i started thinking about it) why our students do so badly in the UMAT

dont worry paul.. we got last years results covered i reckon.

i can think of at least a handful who should get interviews

[luken93]

93rd percentile = Top 7% in Australia...

[Jdog]

i reckon tushan's right here, the cutoff should be around 95, given that fewer direct interviews are being offered for monash.

yeah i can as well, let's see if our predictions hold true!

well i guess a higher cutoff doesnt have to be a bad thing, for those that do well, a higher cutoff is good because its eliminated more competition instantly

What exactly is ATAR/UMAT stream?
Allows for ATAR to compensate for UMAT?
Im still sticking with 93, i think 95 is too high (yea its 2%ile) and i dont think 1 uni shutdown will increase monash interstate offers to the extent where they have to lower interview offers by 2%
(fingers crossed anways lol , unless i get 95+ that is)

[luken93]

There is a stream of interviews that are given out after ATARs come out. Albeit the ATAR and UMAT needed would be really high, but still it's better than nothing I spose...

[tony3272]

what atar do you think they'd be looking at if you were just below the cutoff? 99.5+?

p.s this is almost impossible to type since i'm doing it on my ps3
