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

[mtse]

hey hey
Well done on getting through the gruelling 3 hour exam and the even more agonising month's wait for scores!!

no need to fret yet, keep Monash CSP, ERC AND Bonded on your VTAC preferences
Depending on your ATAR, an 83rd percentile can still mean you get an interview.
With a good interview, you can get into Monash med (all 3 types depending on how well your interview goes)
(the lowest umat i know for the current monash med year 1 cohort is in the 60s but a great atar and interview)

good luck!!
feel free to PM me if you have more questions

I knew I was bad at non verbal reasoning but 42 - now that's a laugh.
Probably doesn't bode well for my four maths exams   

Still, 92nd percentile is better than what I expected.

Hey, am wondering: Would Monash undergrad still consider you if you got any section below 50 regardless of percentile scores?

Congratulations! That's a great score!! Hope that gets you into wherever you want to go!!

Hey, am wondering: Would Monash undergrad still consider you if you got any section below 50 regardless of percentile scores?

hey hey, unfortunately based off previous years, although it is never explicitly stated, Monash does take the 50-50-50 rule quite seriously and in this case, it'd be unlikely they would offer an interview if any section is below 50.

Hey guys, I got a UMAT percentile of 84, with all sections above 50. (S1 - 57, S2 - 57, S3 - 60). I was wondering what are my chances for monash? From my predictions it seems like I'll be getting a good atar (hopefully above 98.5 or 99). Also, what are my chances for other unis like UQ? Is it possible for me to get into those in a bonded place, with second round offers? Thanks for the help.

hey hey congrats on your score!
For monash, depending on your ATAR, you still have a chance of getting an interview
To avoid double posting, see my post here for more details about Monash med: Re: Class of 2016!!

Regarding other unis, they tend to like to take their own state students and the really high achievers from interstate in first round, so with second round / bonded place you most likely have a higher chance.

Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions

Ah great! Thanks for the advice. What ATAR should I likely be aiming for? 97+?

With an 84 %ile UMAT, I would definitely be aiming for a 99ish ATAR. Monash Med is extremely competitive and you want all the leverage you can get.

Cmon Mtse, remember that poor 99.95 friend of ours who got <50 in one section and didn't get into Monash?

HAHAHA exactly my point! xD poor guy :')
Well at least for 2016 entry, 50-50-50 rule was still there.
For 2017 entry, there is apparently some doubt as to whether the rule is still in play .... but i haven't heard anything...so probs assume it still exists

When I was at the Monash Open Day I was informed that the 50-50-50 rule still existed.

Hello 
 just wondering if you think there's a chance at Monash Med with a 72%ile UMAT which is a total score of 164 (48,57,59) <- do you know if the 50 cutoff exists for monash guarantee/seas kids? + 99 atar? (99 is seas scaled from 97)

lol I was one of the student ambassadors at Open Day - and yeah it was a general understanding that the 50-50-50 still exists

hey hey
If you read above, you'll notice that we mention a 50-50-50 rule quite often. This means that without a 50 in each section, Monash uni will very unlikely invite you for an interview whether or not you have monash guarantee or SEAs. (Side note: minimum UMAT score for monash guarantee to offer you a reserved place is 175) In your case unfortunately you have not achieved a score of 50 in section 1 nor an overall score of greater than 175, which means it is unlikely for you to receive an interview.

Hey do any of you know about the Bachelor od Philosophy/Doctor od Medicine course at ANU. Is that still a thing??? and if so where do you find info about it???

[illfightvcaa]

95 UMAT, expected ATAR of 98+ and possibly 99 (my school won't tell us our predicted scores). Chances?

Man, yesterday was a wreck. Take care everyone.
