Interview offers 2013

[Stick]

Monash interviews were out about an hour ago

Just letting you know the system must be incredibly different this year. People at my school have gotten interview offers (wtf no. 1) with UMAT scores in the 70-79th percentile (wtf no. 2), with 99.00+ ATARs.

I think they must have increased the numbers of interview places?

Thanks for sharing. This is a surprising news.

Yeah, I was shocked too.

Example: 78th percentile and 99.55 ATAR was offered an interview.

Yet I have a friend who got a 99.60 ATAR and 84th percentile UMAT and has not received a letter. Weird. Judging from the interview time allocation system, there seems to be a total of 432 people who got interviews (27 people per session and 16 sessions).

WHAT? I guess monash made an error....or maybe stick's friend is from rural? (i am just guessing here)

They probably took into account SEAS and things like that, interesting.

Or if they have Vice-Chancellor’s Access Monash Scholar’s Program they could have got an interview http://www.med.monash.edu.au/medical/central/scholars-program.html

Not that I am aware of, but there could be something else. :S

Another friend of mine got 99.30 ATAR and 72 UMAT and also got an interview. No SEAS or Scholarships. You don't know how pissed off my other friend (with 99.60 ATAR and 84 UMAT who hasn't got an email) is.

Now I am really really lost

Maybe tell your friend to check his emails, since everyone I know who has received offers got an email, not a letter.

(Just for your information, I also received one with 75% percentile UMAT and 99.90 ATAR)

Yep it's in emails, check the spam folder and also make sure he's checking the email he used for VTAC.

My friends who got 87-88th percentile in the UMAT, one with an ATAR of 98.50 and the other with 99.55 both got offers for interviews o:

Sorry I meant email. I've even tried logging him onto the website directly and it didn't work so he definitely has/did not get an offer.

Edit: I would also like to congratulate everyone who has received an interview offer. Well done and good luck! I received an offer as well
