GAMSAT score

For all universities apart from UoM, the overall scores is (S1+S2+ 2*S3)/4
While at UoM, the overall score will be (S1+S2+S3)/3
Will the way my overall score is calculated be determined by which university I am studying at when I sit the GAMSAT, or by which university I will be applying to for medicine?
ATAR: 99.15

BSc @ UoM
2012-2014

It's for which university you will be applying for..
So if applying for Melbourne, they would equally weight all three sections, if applying at any other uni the third section is weighted two times the other sections.
2011: English, chemistry, mathematical methods, physics

2012-2014: Biomedicine at University of Melbourne

Hmm, does that also mean that the GPA will be calculated according to which university I apply for? So if I get all 80s for the subjects I do at UoM, even though they are H1s and are equivalent to 7 points each by unimelb's standards, they would only be worth 6.75 if I apply to a uni like UNSW that only awards HDs for 85+

Its a separate issue. Melbourne is the only exception with GAMSAT weighting.

In regards to GPA, if there are percentage marks provided on your transcript, these are used to convert to a GPA - so it is the same for everyone. For those that don't have percentage marks on their transcript (ie just grades), university-specific conversions apply and these are done according to the institution where you completed your undergraduate degree, not the one you are applying to.
