Just curious, if someone got an atar of 99.00, what percentile would they need to get in UMAT to be offered an interview? Like in UNSW or USyd?
There's a table on the unsw site. But iirc u need like high 80 with 99atar. Usyd will give u an interview if u get 99.95atar only. They don't consider umat.

Ah, ok, thanks then :) I was just reading, it says you need a score of 59 if you get a 99.00 ATAR for UNSW. Do you know roughly what that percentile is?
What? 99.95 to get in USyd? Damn. Is UWS a good place for med?

And lol, you just needed 95 ATAR if you wanted to get in to UNSW. Good work

59 would be a score of 177 overall. Usually about 88 percentile (but varies from year to year)

Anywhere u can get into med is a good place m8. All medical schools are on similar level in terms of standards.

Yeah, I got offered for Unsw but I'm from melb so decided to stay here :)

The minimum is actually 96. But then your umat need to be godly 100% percentile or else you'll have no chance for an interview.

lol interviews

that sounds fun

Would it be a bad idea to be eccentric and bubbly? Or should you just act super calm and collected?

Yeah, and Dr. Fresh was in the 100th percentile (assuming the marks weren't edited)

Thanks for the info. I can manage 99 ATAR but high 80's percentile :( Daaaamn, can't assure that.
I heard for section 1 that it's just best to go as quickly as possible. As in, if you think you'll spend a few minutes on the question, then skip it. Is section 1 THAT hard?

I am doing it for the lols (psychology and/or auditing sounds more intredesting to me)

but i'm curious

All the people that got into med that I know of are super calm and collected

I don't know any eccentric/crazy/bubbly doctors/med students

Lol bro every section you need to do as quickly as possible. The UMAT is designed so you cannot finish easily.

Haha, act as calm as possible, so I can beat you :D Makes 1 less person out of the thousands I would need to beat to get a high percentile :)
Has anyone actually sat the umat for the lolz, got a high percentile, and then trolled interviews and got in med?

That'd be pretty funny


By nature, i'm very eccentric, random and bubbly.
So on the 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance I actually do get a high percentile, my personality would guarantee I wouldn't get in even if I wanted to :haha:
