UNSW 2016 Offers - Actual ATAR Acceptance Stats (1 Viewer)

[tsangk]

As a gesture of transparency, UNSW has now published a tool to provide prospective students additional information about ATAR acceptance statistics based on S1-2016.

For each course, it lists:

• Listed first round cut-off
• Max, Min, Median ATAR
• Lower/Upper Quartile ATAR
• Avg bouns marks
• Total offers (breakdown by school leavers, pathways, etc.)

I've also collated this as a spreadsheet... people may find that more accessible and useful.

min atar for med 88.6 hmm probably rural

min atar for med 88.6 hmm probably rural

atleast that keeps my hopes alive lmao

edit: just realised it could be aboriginal student and they have different pathway...

Yeah a massive outlier. Or maybe got a tonne of EAS points??


Says "Lower Quartile 98.73".

 

[turntaker]

is minimum atar with bonus points or without bonus points

 

[kawaiipotato]

is minimum atar with bonus points or without bonus points

Most likely without, since they seem to distinguish "Entry Rank" from "ATAR"

When UNSW med's upper quartile is 99.85 lol
It's like they take up half the people who get 99.95, 99.9

Going back a few months when SMH posted up how uni's are accepting HSC school leavers with ATARs as low as 30, remember how they said there was one student who got into UNSW combined law with 67 ATAR? On the UNSW stats website it says otherwise for the minimum ATAR (93 or something?, i don't know, can't load the page now for some reason). Both sources said that it's the 2016 data.

It makes you wonder where SMH even got their stats/data from, I was surprised then if anyone would release it.

Makes me feel better about getting into uni lol

Yeah, they do have a different pathway, it's like pre-med where they attend the program for 4 weeks- https://rcs.med.unsw.edu.au/indigenous-entry-medicine. I guess ATAR can be used as a 'benchmark'!


Or alternatively they could be rural + have EAS I think. 2 of my rural friends in med have 92 ATAR

UNSW cut off for Law is like 99.65/99.7 but the median atar is like 98.45 :l

Feel bad for that 99.95 kid who didn't get into med while they accept a 88.6 dropkick

If he had all the grades going for him (this 99.95 kid you're talking about), he must have a real shit personality to not get accepted.

As a doctor, you're working with patients literally all day, you cannot afford to NOT have good people skills.

UNSW med enrollment process does involve an interview as well though from memory.

boo hoo

get over it

An atar is not the only thing that gets you in

 

[A1P]

(this 99.95 kid you're talking about), he must have a real shit personality to not get accepted.

UNSW requires 99.95 to have around 70%ile UMAT to get an interview.
Maybe s/he forgot to sit UMAT?

Eep

From memory, most people don't get in at the interview stage !

I've seen this from personal experience.

A friend of mine got 99.9 & 100 UMAT but bombed the interview completely.

He's now doing Actuarial Studies.
