haha i'm afraid not. it's a percentile, meaning you're ranked against other people. the UMAT cohort as a whole will be a lot smarter than your HSC cohort. the UMAT test is also VERY different to your average test/exam. i know of many people who got in the high 99's for their ATAR who got UMAT...

afaik there are no interviews for optom the umat cutoffs are not quite as clear cut as the cutoffs for med/dent and there aren't many optom schools at all so it's hard to say (despite this, it's still considerably easier to get into than med/dent). i don't think the minimum score is high at...

well for school leavers i think all u need is a kickass atar for tertiary transfer applicants however i think it's a little different. for starters u need umat but i have no idea about the cutoffs.

yeah m8 and im gonna be an ophthalmologist

it was basically 2 guys hanging off a crane that is VERY high up without any support at all and they're swinging and shit. that's pretty much as descriptive as i can get. has anyone seen this before and can link me to it? i want to show it to someone.

read through textbook, do past papers. writing notes was a waste of time for me.

lol funny thing is medicine is an awful choice of course to do for money.

lol sounds obviously like a troll but i'll bite. firstly, if u think med is hard to get into wait until u try to get into a surgical specialty. it's this reason why so many ppl change their minds throughout med school on what specialty they want to do. most ppl at the start of med school are...

depends on what atar ur aiming for/course

it does, albeit a slight one. although i see people with high atars that totally fuck up umat, i never see people with high umat scores who mess up their atar. whether people like it or not, atar does test intelligence to some degree, even if the focus is mostly on applying urself. i think the...

maybe i'm mistaken with 95 but either way, 93/95 is very low for med yes there will always be exceptions but generally it's very rare for people to have good umat scores but low atars.

i highly doubt someone who can't even get an ATAR of 97 has the ability to get a umat score in the 90 percentiles. UWS atar cutoff is 95 btw, 93 for is for GWS applicants only. the umat cutoff is really quite high even for GWS applicants but it depends on your individual sections ofc

mmmm ur probably right there. now that i think about it there is quite a large jump between physio/pharm. but i'm not sure if physio is on par with optometry. all optom courses req umat but there are a few physio courses out there which don't even need it. plus optom usually requires at least...

avg atar in unsw med is ~99.6 true uws and uncle only use atar as a threshold, but both have relatively high umat cutoffs (even for gws applicants the uws cut off is in the high 80percentiles although it depends on ur individual sections). there's usually a strong correlation between umat and...

ur not gonna make med with only 97 except maybe uws and uncle but generally your umat score correlates relatively well with your atar

medicine dentistry optometry physio pharm that's the order of difficulty for the allied health sci imo (going on historical cutoffs/competition). big jump from dent->optom and optom->physio/pharm. so optom is right in the middle.i'd say optom is relatively easy to get into providing u don't...
