For UWS, they use weighted marks so you want 160ish if you're a normal applicant and 140ish if you're local.

thx ohexiploitable, my post code is 2194 which is not in the list but, I can see my post code is in the regional bonus point local on the uws web page, so, which is correct?


additionally, do you know UMAT cut-off of USYD? just wanna guess how high 140~160 is related to USYD :D

cheers


p.s. btw, on uws website it says regional bonus applies exculding B Medicine /B surgery

USyd doesn't do undergrad medicine, only postgrad. You need a GAMSAT over 62 and GPA over 5.5.

While Section 3 is easier for those who aren't great at english (no language in the questions), section 2 requires a knowledge of emotional vocabulary, so if you plan on sitting the UMAT, start expanding your vocabulary now.

The UMAT marks aren't "out of" anything. When you get your UMAT results, you are given 3 overall results, your overall score, aggregate score, and percentile (as well as your individual section scores). Some unis look at your overall score and others look at your aggregate score. The percentile isn't used by unis (it is purely for your benefit), and allows you to see how you went in relation to everyone else who sat the UMAT.
