Got in contact with head of admissions for medicine to find out for you guys. (Monash)

Hello Devraj,

Thank you for your email asking us for clarification about the minimum UMAT.  Our minimum ATAR (sic?) to be considered for the MBBS in 2012 is indeed 150 (the unweighted sum of the three section scores), however, we haven't specified a minimum in each section.

Kind regards,

Karyn Asher
Executive Officer
MBBS Admissions

Hope that helps, and Illuminati, you're safe :P

Fantastic. Haha
Goddamn it Rohit, you had me all depressed in the spesh trial D:

Need chem/methods tutoring?
I'm offering it based predominantly in the south-eastern suburbs (Caulfield-ish) - PM me.

The cut-off will rise sharply this year.

Why?

Because in previous years, most students have not been aware of the UQ bonus points scheme from other states but more and more are becoming aware now, that's the reason for last year's massive jump and this year's coming massive jump.

No offence to anyone, but the UQ bonus points scheme is the most unfair crock of bullshit because...

a) Your ATAR already gets boosted because Specialist Maths and LOTE have ridiculously high scaling so these candidates are effectively invited to double dip and
b) I don't see how completing a LOTE or Specialist Maths makes you a better candidate for studying medicine

We need more Thushans to take specialist, improving the overall cohort of the subject and hence, boosting the scaling of specialist to where it once was... :D

I disagree, you need more people doing it who will push up the mean but who still will not be better than us, that means that we will get the advantage of a higher study score :P

So you need more people who just aren't as smart as us doing it but will do better than average ;P
