UMAT Results Discussion Thread

[jane1234]

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

I'd assume it would be because median ATAR overall is 99.1... but I wonder what kind of UMAT score you would need to get one of these interviews with a 99.5+ ATAR...

[luken93]

I'd be thinking ~99.5 ATAR and ~80th MAY get you an interview if you're lucky, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's higher...

Nah but if they have the same number of overall places I'd think it would be at least 85th or 90th...

Oh well, we should find out soon enough... 2 weeks til hopeful results day!

if you get a 99.95, you can get in with a ridiculous umat of like 68th percentile (i know someone who did) - or maybe lower, but im not sure

[thushan]

I'm thinking:

UMAT stream => overall 186 (62) = 95th percentile (top 6%) given the UWA thing AND that Monash is offering 400 instead of 500-600 interviews this time.

ATAR stream => 99.95, UMAT you need at least a 150 (50) ~ 50th percentile

ATAR/UMAT stream => i'm thinking a UMAT of 171 (57) for an ATAR of 99.7+ and a UMAT of 183 (61) for an ATAR of 99.1+...but that's an approximation - coz Monash combines the ATAR and UMAT using a formula and then takes the top 100 people who didn't already get an interview, so the higher ur ATAR, the lower the UMAT you need to get an interview and vice versa

so when exactly do we find out what the cutoff will be for monoash? why did they have to lower intakes this year..
and do you think SEAS (under-represented school) will have any impact on ATAR/UMAT stream?

you never find out the cutoff, youre either offered an interview or you're not
so you only really find out if you made the cut off or not, but not what the actual value is
and with regards to SEAS, i think its decided on a case by case basis and depends on how under-represented the school is
and nacho, i know the school you go to...its not THAT under-represented compared to a lot of other schools

and thushan, (and others)
where are you guys getting the information about the ATAR/UMAT stream, cause i cant find any documents or info which verify this?
could you guys link me?
im sure about the ATAR stream and the UMAT stream, cause theyve always had them, just not sure about the ATAR/UMAT stream

i don't actually go to mac.rob, my real school is ranked like 440th or something.

ATAR/UMAT stream was discussed at the Med Lecture at Monash Uni Open Day.

lol, i know the school you actually go to, yash told me, but woah 440th, you serious, out of how many schools in victoria though

and nah, to answer your question though i dont think SEAS is taken seriously unless its genuine, like so youre saying that EVERYONE in your school is eligible for SEAS cause theyre all from a "bad" school?
and like i have friends that are doing SEAS based on nonenglish speaking backgrounds (even though they were born here) and like illnesses which arent even relevant

so i think SEAS is a tad dodgy

[REBORN]

I feel for myself next year. OMG...stupid patterns. How on earth do you guys say it was easy -.-

I feel for you too. But the patterns weren't that bad, or at least I thought. But I keep changing, I feel good about it and then I feel I went terrible... Oh well

Just keeps getting close and closer doesn't it

EEEKKKKK!!!! I can't wait but I don't want to know if that makes sense to anyone else
