Hey there,

What major are you currently doing in your B Science degree (if at UNSW)? Because if you're majoring in Vision Science there is a lateral entry pathway for 1st years into B Optom where a decent (>60 %ile) UMAT + D average would have allowed you to do an internal transfer.

If not, pretty you would have to apply via UAC and requirements are as you said mid to high UMAT along with preferably HD marks.
