That table isn't for getting into medicine. It's for getting an interview.

one of my friends went and sat that test yesterday, she sed it wasnt too bad, the last bit was hard apparently, but i think she'll do well

KFunk - didnt you have an exam today?

Yeah, English paper 2. It's only 2 hours and it doesn't take me long to get home (especially not when I'm given a lift home).

I'd say moderate. I was sweet for module B and module C went pretty alright but I wasn't at all prepared for A (it's been so long!). UMAT kinda got in the way of my preparation yesterday... I should have taken that into account and started working on it ages ago but really, what's in 15%?

Once you get an interview is it a level playing field?

I hope you all get devoured alive by flesh-eating bacteria.

Depends on where you apply to. At UNSW everything is waited a third (UAI, UMAT, Interview) whereas at UNCLE I think it's 50/50 (UMAT and interview) once you make it to the interview process. Noone really gets an 'upper hand' in their interview but the playing field is only as level as your UMAT/UAI marks.

I wish I was rural!

I just had a look at the table thingy for UNSW.
Its actual UMAT - as in scores, not percentiles?

That takes a load off, cauz from ur table u suggest that I only need about 160 to get an interview... and I would hope I did better than that lol... I agree with the comment about UAI's, they hardly ever let pple get in below 99 i would think!

 

[velox]

Almost never the case... no one with a UAI of less than 98 has got in.. Gotta blow them away at the interview

thats totally incorrect. The median uai is 99.3. So half have gotten under that. There are people on these boards with 98.xx uais who have made it and i know some 96.xx people also.

 

[justchillin]

these are the minority velox, have a look on UNSW website... also does anyone know the actual date the results come out...
