Results Discussion

[pi]

Dear Acer officials,
Thank you for making such an amazing test.  I know it must be a "huge" task to get all the papers marked, but can you release the result, so that I don't need to have intimate sex with my F5 button?

Thank you.

You guys need to seriously calm down

I'm not a doctor, but I recommend this:

Jokes I didn't finish on time for any of them...

A mate got 100%ile last year and didn't finish any section LOL (he didn't even want to do med either haha)

In my brother's year at school, 2 people who got 99.85 did not get into medicine the first time because of UMAT scores. They are both currently doing medicine or have already finished. The UMAT is not the be-all and end-all of your pursuit to study medicine, so don't be too distressed by a negative result!

tbh I would be pretty distressed over spending an extra year or two at uni (that is if you actually get into postgrad.) because of a multiple choice test.

Spending an extra 2 years at uni is the best thing you could do

Okay fine I will defer to you on this since I have no experience of attending university (yet) but I would imagine it would still be a very academic life which would be similar to the horrors of secondary school due to studying a lot for the gamsat and maintaining a high-ish GPA in order to be a likely candidate for a spot in postgrad med as opposed to getting straight into undergrad. med and feeling much less pressure after jumping that hurdle.

I WISH I POSSESSED THIS NATURAL ABILITY.

Honestly, if I get anything above 94th percentile or something, I will literally cry tears of happiness. It seems unlikely though...

I believe we are talking about UMAT. This is the UMAT "Discussion Thread"

Unless you haven't realised, I was talking about the bigger picture, that no matter what your UMAT score is, what's done is done, you can't change it, it's set in stone, what you can still change, however, is how well you do on your end of year exams, and don't forget that if you want to get into med, they are just as important as the UMAT, so what I'm trying to say is that the UMAT is not the be all and end all of your life.

Either way, I was making a point which I think is reasonable, why are you so uptight and aggressive?

If you don't get enough %ile in UMAT, you won't get an interview
If you don't get interview, you won't have chances to get into med undergrad
If you don't get into med undergrad and have to do the course you don't want, its truly sh**
Even you can study med postgrad, you still have to suffer 3 years in uni and overcome GAMSAT. Its so sh**
And you don't get into med, you have to do the job which you don't enjoy at all for the rest of your life. Its really sh**

It seems hurt but its the fact!
Having said that, don't worry everyone! If you tried you best, you should be proud. Scores ain't everything!

That was my aim at the start of the year, and then my expectations and aims decreased as the test loomed closer

I have a feeling that the results will be released by 11.30 tomorrow morning.

No, you still have a chance at the second round of interviews (Monash)

On top of that you still might get guaranteed entry into MD at UoM

You might also be offered an interview at another university in Australia

It's nowhere near as bleak as you make it out to be

whilst i agree that this was a bit bleak (personally, im really really glad i didnt go interstate for med, and stuck with biomed), i dont think nisha's was bleak. i think she was just trying to say that when results come out, theres no point worrying or being upset, because whats done is done.

[pi]

Coming out soon, either today or tomorrow, accounts are being updated as we speak

[kenhung123]

As in some people got the results already?

[pi]

Nah, just they've seen their account being updated, should be out on Monday
