Medicine at UQ is a provisional entry course of Science/MBBS, Arts/MBBS or Health Sci/MBBS all of which are 6 years. Though, you can do any undergrad degree beforehand, if you aren't sure choose the 'Provisional Entry MBBS' option in QTAC.

it says you need a GPA of 5.0 in your undergrad for provisional entry. is that 90%+? if so, sheeiitt

A GPA of 5.0 isn't very high at all. Link the page? It sounds like the 5.0 is the minimum cutoff (which is standard).

For reference, a 5.0 is 60%+

Just in case you want to save your money, uq required at least 50 in each section of the UMAT.

It is total bs.  You can get a 50 in each section, which would not be a very good %ile, and still have a chance, but someone like martoman, who got 100%ile, based on the criteria, would not get in...

oh so u do need da umat..ok i didnt know that...

Just looked up the UQ provisional entry UMAT requirements and apparently it was only 150 in 2009 and 156 for 2010. Still have to have over 50+ in each section though

thats the minimums for second round offer, so this year it'll probably be around 158-160 for second-round. first round is no where near this low, but 50+ each section does cut off a lot of people.
i'm considering going here, but brisbane is reallly really hot >< not a fan of heat.

Oh, any idea what the first round cut off was for the last couple of intakes?
I got 179; hopefully that's high enough..

yeah that should be high enough for first round.
not sure to be honest what they were something around ~170 would be a good estimate.
