It's like 98 for someone who obtains a semi-decent UMAT score (175/300?).

The cut-off's at 95, like MBBS, at UNSW. To be admitted, you would need to compensate with a high UMAT score.

If you're set on Optometry, you may consider doing a some course, then transferring into BOptom BSc, or doing BSc (Vision Science), which isn't Optom and doesn't actually resemble it too much to any large extent.

i knw som1 got 98.9 umat 160ish who got in ;]
Was that you AKILA? xP

But anyway, please remember that for optometry, UNSW offers many bonus points for subjects, making it quite easy to get 99.95 ATAR with bonus points. This then means that the UMAT will become a discriminator.
