got my interview, too. bit worried because i get back from schoolies on dec 1, have speech day on dec 5 and leave the country on a family holiday on dec 8. hmmm.

ETA: scaled total was 196, percentile total was 274. strangely my friend hasn't gotten one, and her scaled total was 211 with a percentile total of 274. we can't figure out why.

i know it changes every year, but last years cut off was 172. And for whoever asked, my scaled score was 189.

Hmm... could be because there are now a few more places for Adelaidians instead. Zali, this means you are on the cusp of getting an interview offer. Second round could facilitate that.

Got an offer yesterday. I had a score of 180 (I hate section 2!)

I've never been to Adelaide though. Might have to get there early to see what its like.

i don't get it.
my umat scores were: 57,52,65 =174
my percentiles were: 82,66,94. =242
i live in adelaide.
But i didn't get an offer for an interview for adelaide med. My scaled score was better than petar13's by 2 points.

so why didn't i get an offer?

Could it possibly have something to do with your preference order?
OR, Did you get a letter stating you did not score an offer? Because I think you still receive a letter. If you didn't - did you apply before Sept 31? You should probably call them.
That's my brainstorming.

EDIT: It is the 31st of August, not September. My bad.

I got a letter saying that i was below the cut off for med interviews but had made it for dentistry.
Medicine was my first pref, so i don't it had anything to do with that.
I think im going to go and question the admissions officer...ill let you all know if i get anything out of them as the whole process seems to be behind closed doors. I can understand them not releasing an absolute cut-off threshold, but surely they could tell us how the sections are weighted...

Yeh i'd ask that. I find the adelaide admin rude and slow. The UNSW ladies are excellent, they answer your questions concisely and on time.

Agreed. I rang Adelaide when I got my non-acceptence letter because my UMAT number wasn't written on the details and it said to check they were correct and ring if there was a problem and the lady basically bit my head off said everything was fine n hung up.
Maybe she was having a really bad day but there was no need to be rude
