it wasn't that great but my umat was really bad. if my umat was better things would've been ok.
uai: 97.65
1st yr biomed gpa: 6.4
umat 1st time: 169. umat 2nd time: 204.
if i had gotten 204 umat score in 2004, i would've received interviews to so many med schools, and my weighted umat + my uai would've given me a bonded place at umelb (which was my 2nd choice of med school).
since my umat was so bad (especially considering my uai was less than 99) i received NO interviews ANYWHERE. rejection was quite harsh.
in 2005 i took a gap yr which i was planning to take anyway and didn't apply for med.
in 2006 i decided to start another degree (biomed) so i could at least b working towards something if med didn't work out (and also, once i finished the degree i could apply 2 grad entry med programs). i also took the umat and applied to uncle, unsw, uws, jcu and utas. i got 1st round offers to my 1st preferences: uncle and utas.
in 2007 i started med
