postgrad:
- get high gpa and gamsat score, highly competitive (eg 30 spaces for usyd)

undergrad gap year:
- redo ucat, then based on atar
- additionally, uow offers 3yr pre med course, which (if gpa > 6.5) guarantees an interview for doctor of medicine

is the unsw medical science course thing (where its two years ) guaranteed to get u a spot in med ( so 2 years then u switch over to 5 years of med i think) for a total of 7 years instead of the usual undergrad time being 6 years?

for reference, usyd CLAIMS that a minimum gpa for admission is 5/7, and then minimum scores of 50 in each gamsat section, however this is the bare minimum to be eligible to apply, naturally as there are only 30 spots you are competitive based on how high your gpa/gamsat score is compared to other applicants

from what i can see, there are 20 spots, and looking at uac admissions numbers there are 185 students enrolled in the course, so you need to be in the top 10% of students in both gpa and ucat, which appear to be weighted 50/50

i asked some random person i know who does med at unsw and she said that if ur atar is above 96, then they consider ur atar/gpa whichever is higher as well as ucat?

this is the 2023 version of the fact sheet, from what i can see atar is not considered at all.

and if i chose gap year undergrad i would be sitting against basically everyone who is in year 12 in 2024 and wanted to get into med as well? as well as everyone else older than me who have failed and are trying again? and they would use my atar?

yep, the only thing to redo would be ucat which would be used along side ur atar (so just like if u applied this year) as ucat needs to be taken in year of application, ur atar wouldnt be recalculated tho afaik.

if you apply for 2025 med you would need to sit ucat this year and apply for wsu through uac as normal, and as an undergraduate
your atar is gonna count

but thats as undergrad meaning i take a gap year?

what if i wanna just start a degree this year at unsw bc im still interested in that
then what would happen would my atar not count and how would the selection thing work

no you can still do a year of uni but you would be applying for med as an undergrad. your atar will still count iirc atar expires when ur 21 or something so your atar will certainly count (and possibly ur 1st uni year marks but not sure), you'll be competing with the 2024 hsc leavers and other applicants like urself
