Just wondering how many places are offered (CSP), and the number of applicants.

270 CSP places, and the number of applicants is unknown since next year is the first year people have applied for entry too.. There would be a couple of thousand at least though, they will put up more information once they have it in the future.

I think there were 500-600 applicants, but of course, this information isn't accurate

There are 125% of positions offered as interviews, but the amount of applications is really a lottery. Information on entry etc. will be published in January 2011 according the MDHS centre

Of the 270 CSP places, 67 must be BMP and another 8 must be MRBS

^Apparently it is going to get harder to get in as the number of applicants is expected to increase over the coming years.

There would have been 400 odd interview candidates based on their 125% rule.

And yeah, due to a few factors (small graduating biomedicine cohort + introduction of prerequisites) the requirements were very low

Could be 120% I can't remember, but they have X amount of positions in medicine, so they hold 1.25X interviews.

That'd make sense. The ones who didn't get in the previous year are likely to reapply again. Those who then consequently get in the subsequent year thin the spots available for that year, leading to an increase in the number of applicants that year who don't get in once more, which then causes a continual domino effect I guess.

Yeah.  Will probably peak for 2014 entry when all us 2010 VCE graduates need to get in!  Will not be easy...

Alternatively, the 2011 MD subjects went up on handbook last month if you want to look at them.
