umat/ medicine at Newcastle (2 Viewers)

[TheMelissa]

Newcastle offers have been mailed today for 2008, interstate people should have already have gotten theirs, lowest UMAT I heard was 178

Could someone please clarify when non-interstate applicants receive their interview offers? The admissions officer left at 4:30 and her voice mail is turned off.

(Wow, that sounded incredibly stalker-ish.)

That post was from last year.
As far as I know no offers have been made yet.

Anyone else know?

Mine was in my mailbox this morning. Looks like they're still using paper.

hey im in year 12 now and reali interested in doing medicine at either newcastle and new england... my career advisor said its heaps hard to get into like 50 out 5000 actually get in so im screwed

there's a few things you can do to increase your chances of getting into med:
first is to apply to as many different unis as possible.
the second is to take up a related health course and try again each year.
combining the two increases your chances.

this, of course, all depends on how well you do in UMAT and the interview.

With the lame Federal Government spamming new medical schools and congesting further the current med schools with more places, its almost impossible NOT to get in...

You just only have to worry about what comes AFTER med school with that many med students looking for training positions...

undergrad med at uncle

how is this uni seen in comparison to other uni's - for hopeful students that is...like would many people put this as first prefence or does everyone usually go more for the sydney uni's?
i dont want to go to sydney at all, coz im at unsw now and travel around 2.5hrs just to get to uni and the same home, so newcastle wuld half that at least!

this is going to be my top preference uni for med, hoping with all my heart that my UMAT marks can get me an interview at least - this will more than anything give me confirmation that my dreams arent ridiculous
but i cant fit in umat prep right now as its exam period, and i havent done anything for like a month with all my assessments and stuff and starting to worry...getting into medicine is literally the only thing i want right now and would just be amazing!

To put it into perspective, that's the kind of competition in the jobs market for Accounting/Finance Grad Programs of many major Accounting/Finance firms and banks.

The more you know.

If I can get an ATAR over 99 what sort of umat score would I need? It's section 3 in umat that really scares me!

 

[delian]

Uni Newcastle focuses more on interview and UMAT than an 99+ ATAR.

 

[greenlander]

Useful info, thanks guys. So, is it interview AND umat score that they decide on, assuming you got an interview at Newcastle, as earlier post suggests? (ie not just interview mark).
Also, does anyone know, if you tick bonded for UON, and get enough marks, you could get a non bonded place?? I have to know what to put as dead line is 5th Dec. I can find what the form is I ticked, only the application with the other info is retrievable. AND, if you got a bonded place at UNSW, and a non bonded place at UON, do you get a choice? ie if you put UNSW first on your UAC form, and got a bonded offer, do they even tell you about your second choice newcastle if you got a non bonded place there? does anyone know? only info I got from ringing the official places was patchy and conflicting and they were reading the same web sit I could see. Any help appreciated!
