Are there more interviews for the same amount of places now or? This is pretty confusing

I would assume so, the number of places has definitely not changed.

Maybe monash just got a boatload of money, and will be having more seats for med next year...

This will definitely not happen :P

I thought the point of monash delaying the first round interview period was to narrow down the number of successful interviewees, by increasing the number of variables by which they were considered (for monetary efficiency) XD. Maybe monash just got a boatload of money, and will be having more seats for med next year...

OR (most likely), they dont know what effect this changed system will have, so they've decided to give out more interviews to act as a safeguard
Hmm your last point sounds reasonable!

I'm fairly sure they are basing it off the GAT as well this year. I received an interview invitation despite having a low low atar of 93.60 and a 95 in the UMAT. They said in their email that they based it off VCE results and not explictly ATAR. Got 44-48-49 on the GAT.

@abcdqd pls confirm

I was extremely shocked, got one with 91 %ile (57-60-65) and 98.80 ATAR, so I think they look at the GAT (I got 37-42-38)

Ask your careers teacher for us all, she's really knowledgeable in the goings of Monash Medicine (seriously, she knows so much LOL).

Also I wonder how they'd use the GAT when maybe other states don't have it (incl New Zealand)

If this rumour is true, I can't wait to see how the attitude towards the GAT changes LOL.

They couldnt have used the gat. My results for that were not so flash. They do say on the website and in previous emails that interview selection is based on atar and umat equally (as far as i know).

From what I can see on the interview system thingo, 432 interviews were offered. I don't know if that is more than normal or not though.

Seems about normal, which is odd.

maybe monash med wasnt as popular this year... apparently (makes zero sense, but hey, its the only legit explanation)

According to the age a few days ago it had an increased number of first prefs or something. Maybe it's just that less high ATAR people did well in the UMAT compared to previous years.
