Melbourne Model help?

[username]

I wanna do a basic Science degree in Melbourne and it says that the MINIMUM ENTER requirement is 85 for 2009. This can be seen : http://www.futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au/ugrad/apply/scores/entryscores.html

Does this mean that EVERYONE who applies with an 85 will get into the Science Degree?

Pretty Much.

As far as i know BIOMED is the only part of the model where getting above "clearly in" ENTER doesnt guarantee u a spot.

Thanks. Can anyone else confirm on this to give me more reassurance?

Cannot confirm, can say it is extremely likely (95%+) you will get a place for sure, due to low demand for science
(At monash we can never fill all the science spots available which is why you need only 75 out here, wouldn't be surprised if there was a similar scenario over there)

I dont understand your point.

Thanks. I just looked up on VTAC preferences and it says that around 959 people have applied for it as their first preference, but last year only 900 or so first round offers were made. Is this indicative on the amount of people who might miss out?

My point is: "(for science, minimum is 85) ^ Provided prerequisite studies and any other specific course requirements are met, applicants who achieve the minimum ENTER for a course will be eligible for a place. Commonwealth supported places will be offered on the basis of academic merit. No applicant, with the exception of Access Melbourne applicants, will be admitted to a Commonwealth supported place below the minimum ENTER."

If you have 85, your set.

It shows that nearly everyone who applies gets in. This is a good thing. You don't know the ENTERs of people applying for it, and thus what % of the applicants actually met the requirements (you cant deduce at all how many people got 85+ and 25+ in english and didn't get offered a place)

I can deduce for you:
-If you get lower than 85 (without seas etc), you won't get in
-If you get 85+, you pretty much will. I can not be 100% sure on this statement. If you got a tiny bit above, say 86, then I'd put your chances at that 100% mark

so if you did science, is it possible to get into post-grad medicine at melbourne after? and is the ENTER still considered then?

Yeh u can still get in, but you have to choose biiomedical related subjects (look in the medicine thread) and once u get into this course u will never have to see ur ENTER again.

i don't think by that time, selection officials will care much about your ENTER, as compared to your marks in relevant uni subjects.

oh ok great, thanks

one more thing, is it possible to apply for more than one post grad course? like, if i tried to get into med but failed GAMSAT...can i still apply for post grad law then? if that makes sense..

of course you can

Actually, I'm pretty sure they take your ENTER into account somewhat.  But if you're ENTER wasn't great and you did awesome at your university subjects you should be right.  But if you get a fkn awesome ENTER and fairly good university scores then you could get in with that too...
