Biomed clearly-in - 99.00

[Russ]

Do a bachelor of science!

Don't listen to this man, come to the loving embrace of biomedicine.

And high 97s is where I'd guess it'll end up, but again...nobody really knows. If you want to put some effort into working it out, I'd check the 2010 entry scores and compare the %below clearly in to the 2011 %below. There was a very sharp jump that year which pushed the cutoff up - given that it's projected to return to 30% this year, you might be able to estimate the commensurate drop.

If you're confused by what I just said, link me to the data and I'll do it.

Not confused, but would still like to see the data if possible?

Well I went and found it (you're welcome) and here:

2011 was a 98.45 clearly in with ~50% under the clearly in (this is from memory correct me if it's wrong)
2010 was a 97.90 clearly in with ~25% under the clearly in

Since 2012 is projecting 30% under the clearly in, I would project it to drop to ~98 or so.

Thank you . This makes me feel slightly better.

Gonna have to do BSc I guess.

I'm tempted to just go to the Uni and not leave until they let me in

[Russ]

98.10, any other guesstimates?

[raveets95]

97.9

I think demand for Biomed is growing, particularly now that everyone has seen the first MD cohort starting last year. I think it will stay in the 98's, but may drop slightly to 98.3ish, given the lower projection of offers under the clearly in that Russ has mentioned. I'd be happy to be wrong though! Good luck everyone

I will say 97.55...not only because of less SEAS, but because it is now easier to get Monash MBBS with a high ATAR, driving down demand further.

[stonecold]

I will scrap my last post.  Considering that Monash Biomed is 93.90 this year, and Melbourne is saying that the demand for their degrees has gone up, the cut off may well go up again. :/

Unimelb Clearly in released here!! - email from VC

It's gone up to 99.00.

[iamdan08]

What i said last year:

Don't be surprised if it gets to 99.00 in the next couple of years (unless they increase the number of spots).

Looks like i was right...

[Russ]

Going to retroactively edit all my posts so i look like a genius to anyone reading this in six months time.

Also, just lol at the increase

[Panicmode]

Yeah, it was freaking massive.

Just scraped by I 'spose. THANKS GOD FOR KLD

[stonecold]

This is complete bullshit.  It has to stop.  56% of spots going to SEAS applicants this year.  WHERE IS THE 30% CAP? 
Hard working students are getting completely ripped off by what I would say is a considerable group of students taking advantage of the selection guarantee.  It seriously has to go.

The fact that someone's ATAR is good enough to study Monash Law but not a glorified science degree is a joke.
