Hi,
I have a few questions to ask:

-is the demand for a bachelor of optometry high in unsw (estimate )
-how many places in unsw are there for optometry (around)
-what is the estimate ATAR for optom
-what is the rough umat requirement for optom.

I heard around ~80 each but ATAR/UMAT will increase/decrease in proportion. Had a friend who got in with 98 ATAR 60 UMAT, etc. (2 yrs ago)

Actually, it's less than 200. Probably about 100, which was the intake this year.

There were roughly 140 first year students studying either optometry or vision science this year, so I'm guessing optom intakes are 80-90.

Quick bump

So I kinda screwed up my atar and got 96.75, with 83 umat - would this make the cut for optom?

Do I have a chance with a low UMAT (61) and ATAR of 98.30?
