Monash cut-off info and predictions?

[pi]

Just to clear this up, do they go by OVERALL SCORE or PERCENTILE? I heard from the open day lecture that they'd be using OVERALL SCORE. But, may have misheard.

Any info/clarifications?

Also, any predictions for this year? From memory, it was 62 last year...

My question is, does it really matter? The percentiles are based off the overall scores anyway. So the most that could happen is people getting cut off in a percentile-based system due to them being rounded off.

The dude said that there was actually some difference in percentile vs overall. I think they might restrict to people over 50 in each section. Just a rumour I heard though.

i got 92 percentile Im praying that I will get an ATAR/UMAT stream  offer at the end of the year. I think if I work really hard i can get ~99.8

so for my sake haha im hoping the cutoff is 94

I'm hoping that 63 is the cut-off (overall scores). That would make sense from the past increases.

62: 2010, 2009
61: 2008
... etc.


EDIT: I doubt I can get over 99.2... So I'm hoping I scrape in with 63

[Jdog]

but the thing is 62 was a percentile of 93

so i don't think itll go down in terms of percentiles

Don't think so. I got 63 overall with 92 percentile (edit: so did you!). I think they changed it so more 'all-rounders' get a chance. Not just those with one or two 75+ scores and a low 50s (usually in S2).

[Jdog]

no im saying LAST year, an overall score of 62 was equivalent to 93

where as THIS year 63 = 92

theres a rumour going around that theres a min. threshold for monash this yaeer? similar to UQ's 50 50 50?
True or false?

I heard this too, not 100% sure though. Seems like a good idea tbh, makes all sections of the UMAT count.


@jdog
Hmmm, not sure what will happen then. Hopefully they don't increase by more than 1 though

But they are offering less first-round interviews, so I think the cutoff will go up... to 95 or something?

Does anyone know when you'll be notified if you get a first-round (purely UMAT) interview?

And I hope there is a 50-50-50 cutoff! Actually I think they should make it 60-60-60...

[Jdog]

in october people get told about interviews

[jane1234]

Do you get a rejection email/letter?

From the undergrad guide:

Pre-selection will be based on the UMAT result calculated as the unweighted sum of the three section scores. A minimum score of 150 is required to be considered.

And therefore cut thushan!?!?! Impossible.


Luke, 150 seems a bit low doesn't it?
