Idk if this is the right place to ask but I received an interview at monash for med, however the course is at the bottom of my preference list? So is going to the interview pointless then, since the preferences cannot be changed now, right?

Unless I'm mistaken (somebody please correct me), you can change your preferences briefly on January 4.
EDIT: Yes, I believe it's from 10am until 4pm. So no, I don't think the interview is pointless - but if it's at the bottom of your preferences at the moment, do you really want to study Med at Monash?

Can you keep resitting the UMAT if you don't make it through the first time, and be studying, for example, a Bachelor of Science at the same time?
Similarly, can you keep resitting the GAMSAT if you don't get in the first time? What do you do while you do this in terms of university?

I'm pretty sure you can't sit UMAT again once you start another course because UMAT is for undergraduate Medicine (before you start a course). I'm not sure about GAMSAT though. Hope this answers part of your question. :)

You can't resit UMAT and study bachelor of science at the same time. UMAT is for undergrad medicine and you can't apply for undergrad medicine if you are doing a bachelor degree already. There are some exceptions. University of Adelaide, University of Western Sydney and James Cook university have non-standard entry. You can apply for their medicine programs in first year uni (you cannot apply in second year or beyond). But be aware that there are very limited places and university of Adelaide prefers accepting their own students (such as dental students studying in UoA). Most people resitting UMAT would defer their degree and take a gap year after year 12 to "study" for UMAT. Some people succeed and some people don't.
You can resit GAMSAT numerous times during uni. Some people take GAMSAT twice within a year and end up doing GAMSAT 4-6 times.
