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

[bananabreadbelle]

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.

Thank you for the reply. 

Would there be any chances of getting into Med anywhere else in Aus, apart from JCU (looking into it!), with a 79%ile (S1:60, S2:61, S3:48)? And if so what ATAR would make a competitive application?
Thanks again!

Rule out Monash because of that 48... Rule out Newcastle, Rule out Utas. Griffith if you have 99+ ATAR, Bond if you have rich parents

Hi !
I was just wondering if I had a chance with med/dent courses (for all states) with a 91 percentile and a 97+ atar?
Thanks

Hey everyone! sorry i was just wondering whether a umat percentile of 87 (55 59 62) and an atar estimate of 99 is eligible for interviews at UNSW and monash? im getting mixed responses from friends haha!

should i still apply for med?

thank you!!!

I need your raw scores for each section. If they are 50+ then you should be fine for Med or dentistry pretty much anywhere in Aust except Griffith (99+ ATAR)

You have a good chance of making it in. That Umat is enough for an interview. If you manage a 99+ and do well in interview, I do not see any reason why you would be uneligible for med.

Do you think I have a chance at a UNSW interview (or anywhere else really) with UMAT 88%ile (52, 57, 68), GPA 7.0 and ATAR 99.5?

Hey mia i think if i stand a chance (as suggested by hughmungus) then you definitely have a chance as your percentile is one up from mine and your atar estimate is higher too!

There are people in my cohort that have low 99 ATAR and 78 UMAT. your scores are plenty enough for Monash at least. As for UNSW I cannot really say as I didn't apply there. Those scores are good enough for everywhere except Adelaide and UTAS. They require 99+ UMAT for interstate applicants... Lol RIP

[guest123]

Is non-bonded at Monash likely for me with: umat 96 (71,53,66) and an atar 98+?

[Medar]

Needing help I am just completing Yr 12. What are my chances of doing Med with a UMAT of (63, 53, 54) 171 and 81 percentile. I have a predicted 99.05 ATAR and would prefer to study in WA but I am going to apply interstate too. Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks

The people from your cohort, are they interstate? Maybe the requirements for monash are higher for interstate :/

Once again sorry for the lengthy post but hopefully this is helpful

thank you!!!

congrats on your score! you should definitely still apply for med - your umat and atar will highly likely get you an interview at Monash, and probably get you one at UNSW. UNSW is slightly more competitive, so the higher your atar the better your chances will be

This case is slightly different as Mia58 is a uni student. Based off what I've seen on MSO, your high GPA and ATAR with your decent UMAT will very likely get you an interview at UNSW. Whilst there is no chance at Monash (as I've said before) or Adelaide as they only accept school-leavers.
Also Adelaide does accept lower than 99+ UMAT for interstate kids - I know a large bunch of Victorians who got interviews at Adelaide first round with <99 (but their scores were still 95+ lol).

Is non-bonded at Monash likely for me with: umat 96 (71,53,66) and an atar 98+?

You'll have a good chance of getting an interview, and depending on your interview you may be able to get non-bonded. With a 99+ ATAR the chances will be much higher. (i do know people who bombed their interview with 99+ atar and >90 umat and missed out on a place entirely)

hey hey your scores are leaning on the edge a little --> WA has very limited number of spots in med, so your umat may not cut it. if you do get an interview, you probably will have to ace that to get in.
I do suggest applying interstate as well, e.g. Monash in Victoria, Adelaide (SA) and UNSW (NSW) - however once again these unis are all highly competitive, so you may not get an interview first round but please do watch out for later rounds as there are quite a number in my cohort (monash med) with similar scores.
To increase your chances = higher ATAR and prepare for the interviews

The people from your cohort, are they interstate? Maybe the requirements for monash are higher for interstate :/

I'm in the same cohort as HughMungus. Some of them are interstate and some are Victorians. The requirements are pretty similar for interstate kids and for those with a relatively lower UMAT, they must have aced the interview and may have also not been in the first round.

Hi everyone, will I get an interview offer for JCU med or Bond med with an atar of 97-98?

Many thanks
Karen

You are in with a shot. That score is ~op3 which is kind of on the borderline. But the selection for JCU is almost entirely based upon your application and interview with the ATAR being a hurdle for the spot. (op 3 and below and you should be fine)

As for getting an interview, make sure your application is spotless and insightful but honest. I remember our study group filling ours and everyone write down extraordinary things about themselves. JCU sees right through that and they were not offered an interview.

Bond on the other hand has a very low ATAR requirement and the UMAT was being taken off(don't quote me on that... A friend from Queensland told me) from what I heard. And it is expensive... Lol I am too poor for Monash, let alone Bond

[ehatton2016]

I'm going for UNSW UG med.

I have a 184 in UMAT (93%ile) and a predicted ATAR 95-97, what are my chances???
