Try looking at the transfer sticky topics. One of them has an attachment containing a table to convert GPA to UAI. Then just compare that UAI to the course cutoffs.

Doesn't your real UAI count for 50% too?

Not as of 2009 apparently

Tertiary study within Australia

The University will consider results from certain types of tertiary study when considering applicants for admission into this undergraduate courses via UAC. This may include study in degree courses, associate diploma, diploma or advanced diploma level courses offered by Australian course providers. There is no limit to how old a tertiary qualification can be for it to be acceptable.

Results in tertiary study will be only considered if the enrolment meets certain conditions regarding level of award, duration and where the course was taught. For further information about these conditions, please see the sections below about the various types of tertiary qualifications. If your tertiary study does not meet these conditions your application will be considered on the basis of your results in your other academic qualifications.

The results that you achieve in your tertiary study will affect the way that your application is considered. Generally, if you have an acceptable tertiary qualification, your application would be considered on the basis of both your results from your secondary (HSC or equivalent) and your tertiary qualifications. However, if your results from your secondary qualification are not as good as those from your tertiary study, the results from your secondary qualification would not normally be considered.

well a 5 is the equivilent of a credit average. Universities generally have a cutoff of a credit to be considered for a transfer, so your at the required level for them to consider you, but it is by no means a guarantee. In terms of individual degrees, its very ambiguous when it comes to definite entry requirements. For example, a double degree at either institution would be difficult to get with a gpa of 5 (not impossible) and also high demand courses like law, commerce etc.

As another person said, convert your UAI + GPA into a rank then compare to UAI cutoffs to get a general picture of the difficulty to get into the course
