    shit umat = not a chance at mbbs?

    It has varied each year, due to supply and demand and scalling so they get 50% GWS and 50% non-gws at the interview. Last year is was around 140 for GWS scalled.

    shit umat = not a chance at mbbs?

    I haven't heard about anyone with 150 at UWS, except for Aboriginal and TSI students. Not even adv sci pathway students have UMAT scores that low. I presume they are talking about the scalled umat score for GWS applicants which was umat section 1 + section 2 and 1/3 section 3. In your case...

    anyone still want to get into med?

    Yeah, many 3rd year students often ask their clinical supervisors if they know about the 'med student tsunami' the vast majority don't know anything about it. The Rudd government doesn't want to pay money to the colleges to train specialists, it's a huge issue. All the Rudd government is...

    anyone still want to get into med?

    The Tsunami is a now a reality with many Qld and NSW international med studens missing out on intenships (for 2010) altogether, none of them got offers in the first-round. It was never really an issue in the past till now. As we are now just starting to feel the flow on effects from the increase...

    2009 UMAT Official Results (No Spam)

    Because it is a private exam governed by their own rules, not a government exam where they have an open disclosure policy to release results to the public. Also the stakes are higher with UMAT as 'culling test' since everything under 90% is pretty much a bad result for most students. So it would...

    There are other pathways. Non-standard, provisional for high ATAR achievers, Grad entry, etc. Also JCU does not look at umat.

    Any chance of special consideration at Notre Dame?

    ND is a private uni but a provider of CSP places. Med at both ND Fremantle and Sydney is completely Graduate and CSP for domestric students. It requires GAMSAT, Interview + a high GPA like most other grad med uni's. What made you think it was undergrad? Also think about medicine, it's...

    STAT documentation for UAC

    Yes usually or by one of the relevant officials on UAC's list. I think it's best to contact them, since your documentation is late. I'm suprised they don't just use the STAT number you are supposed to supply to UAC. But that's another matter.

    STAT documentation for UAC

    I suggest you contact UAC since you've obviously violated their criteria. UAC never asks for original documents! Certified copies only! The Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) is a series of tests that could help you get into uni.

    UAC --> Similar to QTAC in the way tertiary results are assessed?

    QTAC - Current Year 12 - Interstate Admissions ^ rough table of UAI/OP conversion. For students who have a tertiary record most uni's tend to look solely at GPA, whilst some others such as UNSW and Usyd for some courses look at both UAI and GPA and divide them by two to get a result. For...

    Slight RANT About "WHAT UNI CAN I GET INTO?"

    It happens every year, it's the same on MSO, etc despite the resources links, etc. It really pisses me off, esp since I've answered a million questions on both MSO on BOS via PM and have not recieved a single rep point. The responses I tend to give are pretty general and I always tell peeps...

    A UMAT Remark.

    It's highly unlikely since your result is calculated solely by machine. I've heard of students getting 1 or 2 more marks (due to smudges, etc) when the results were manually checked, but never anymore than that.

    Discrimination against non-school leavers dent

    Uadel has a simillar policy for undergrad medical schools they only take school leavers or students who have only done 1 year at U.adel. I reckon it's just another culling method, so they get the creme of the crop i.e. those who ace the ATAR and UMAT first time round.

    2009 UMAT Official Results (No Spam)

    JCU which doesn't look at UMAT, Bond (private full fee paying unvieristy 52K+/year), slim change with UWS (GWS resident) provided they didn't change the weightings, but they prob will.
