The "Will I get an interview/offer with this UMAT?" query for med and dent

[datfatcat]

So what are my chances with an ATAR of 98?

But you can try elsewhere, like UWS (if the weighted score is higher than 156.5 (i think)), JCU, UQ (if you do LOTE, specialist maths and/or university subject in high school).

So I got 62:50:72; 184 overall, 93rd percentile. My ATAR was 98.1, do I have any chance :S I'm applying everywhere but Bond.

Maybe, ATAR is a bit on the low side though. Of course a lot depends on the interview.

University of Adelaide: No one knows (last year UMAT cut off was insane)
Monash: Maybe
University of Western Sydney: No
UNSW: Maybe not (ATAR is a bit low)
UNCLE: I don't know (you got the 50:50:50 rule but your section 1 maybe a bit low)
UQ: Can you even apply to UQ as a gap year student? You may need to ask
Griffith: No
JCU: Depends on your application letter (no umat is required but still your ATAR maybe a bit low)
UTAS: As a gap year student, the answer is no.  If you have this result with GPA 5.5ish+ (i.e. if you are a first year Uni student), you have a chance.

Hey guys, so I got a so-so score of 179 overall, 89%, 59/58/62 respectively...my predicted ATAR is about 99.6. I'm wondering what my chances are at medicine, and UQ dentistry (last year's cut off was 180, can it go down??  )? Thanks so much in advance!!

I researched for UQ, unfortunately they are really serious about their 90%ile cut off sucks for you and me... but yeh, its one of their major criterias. also, UQ looks at your OP rank, not your ATAR. So, basically their criteria is that you have to pass three benchmarks to be eligible for consideration 1. 99 OP rank (anywhere above 99 atar, 99.95 has the same rank as 99.10 - they don't care) 2. UMAT above 90%ile 3. Interview

Oh wow are UQ having interviews again?

[inoob365]

i got 99%tile for umat (section scores 68, 72, 62). What are my chances if i get a 97-98 atar?

Interview offer is quite likely. I guess your chances of a CSP will depend on the interview though (I know somebody who got 99th and around 97 and got a BMP)

Oh wait, damn sorry the interview part is referring to UA dent I saw my notes wrongly
However, the two other criteria I stated are legit, sorry

Pretty high to get an interview, higher the ATAR the better for a spot of course

Nice work!

Haha had a feeling that was the case

[datfatcat]

I saw my notes wrongly

Wow you got notes.  Last year I just applied all without looking at their requirements.  I only knew they need interview when I got an interview offer email (Not the case for Monash, someone told me in year 11 already about their requirements )

[PB]

Haha lol. Yeh I just keep a word doc covering the information on each course, because university course information tend to be more disorganised than a senile 180 year old grandpa.

[lolipopper]

i got 51%ile. should i even continue to try for medicine?
