JCU, 93.8 for UNCLE if your local, also you may get in with below 95 depening on your rurality at some uni's. But if your a normal student it will be highly unlikely to get into med <95 at virtually all uni's.

Not really.

As has been mentioned before, the uai is just a hurdle. Once you get over the minimum UAI (93 in the case of GWS applicants), than you have the same chance as everyone else, regardless of whether you got 93 or 99. After that only UMAT and interview are used to determine whether you get accepted

Sigh.

Unless I am misinterpreting your post (ignore this if I am), what you are asking is if the UAI is weighted (ie. those with higher UAIs have a better chance of getting in and vice versa).

Like i said in my above post, this is not the case, and at UWS, UAI is just a u hurdle. So once you get over the minimum, the UAI is irrelevant, therefore the final selection is based on UMAT and Interview. So whether you get 95 or 99 does not matter , as long as you get above the minimum cutoff. Once this cutoff is reached, they pick the top 128 based on the culminative scores of UMAT and Interview.

As far as i know , The uai is JUST a cutt off , once you get past that , getting into med is totally based on how you go in your umat and interview , but thats is in theory . What happens is that they end up with soo much people with the same marks in the intervview/umat and end up using the uai's as well to determine wether u get in . So basically if 200 people applied and all of them got the same cumulative uai/umat mark then according to how high thwir uai's are they will get in , and only the highest 100 people will be abllowed entry .

If at this stage there are people with the same uai , umat and interview marks( WHICH IS EXTREMELY UNLIKELY BUT STILL POSSIBLE ) then thats where they refer to your application form where you were asked a series of questions about yourself . And depending on their judgement of that they will chose who goes in .

Dude, where are you getting your info from? It is completely incorrect.

Firstly, the UWS application form does not require you to answer questions about yourself, therefore it has absolutely no bearing on entry.

Also, the UAI being a cutoff isnt just a theory, its fact. It is highly unlikely that people will end up with the same culminative UMAT/Interview score because the interview score range is very broad (eh i havent done maths in a while...you know what i mean!)

Take it from someone who got into UWS med!

Kloudsurfer,

Assuming you are correct in saying that UAI is simply a cut off (and hurdle)
can the same be said for those entering with GPAs? For example,

Is it possible that a higher GPA (for example 6.2 or 6.5) would assist
the admission process, or is it SOLELY umat and interview scores after
having made the cut-off?

Thanks,

jared

Hey, the GPA is also used as another hurdle a GPA of 5.5 or is it 5.6 is required. Please read the info for yourself on uws med applicaiton page.

After the hurdle, umat and int scores determine ur ranking if you get in or not.

Every uni has it's own entry system, UWS just put's more merit on umat and the interview instead of high UAI's/GPA's.

Hey guys, does anybody know what if there's a UMAT cut-off for getting in? One of my friends just got a bit below 50% in it, I was wondering if they still have a chance of getting in. Anybody know the stats, for instance at UNSW they have a list like 152UMAT=100UAI etc. Anything similar at UWS?

The uai cut-off is 93 for GWS(umat should be around 164+) and 95 for non-GWS( around 185+)

UWS does not like to disclose their cut-off's. The cut off's above were last years given by admin staff, but yeah the min uai is set to go up.
