That option is pretty much saying if for some reason you're offered an unbonded spot later on then you'll take it but if nothing else happens you'll just remain bonded, I think. It's probably what I'd choose. Regarding NSW unis, whatever you do with QTAC doesn't affect the offers you will or...

Unfortunately I'd think not since apparently 91st percentile people didn't get offers... The cutoffs are all kinds of messed up this year and you got the short end of the stick :( Most people pick science but really as long as you do some/most/all of the appropriate second year courses they...

Congrats on the offer!! :D The chances that you miss a 5 are pretty much minimal unless you potate for all 3 years. If you don't hit 5 you won't be meeting requirements for most, if not all, postgrad med unis anyway and unless you missed it because you slept for 3 years straight you'd probably...

Never heard of such a restriction before, although I also know of people in the 80s who got interviews last time with a solid 1+2 score. As for QTAC definitely say you're open to more offers if you've just got unbonded in front (if not you can re-jig) since disregarding however unlikely it is...

Yeah WSU has me all kinds of confused but speaking from last year's experience where my 1+2 is the same as yours (I got 71 47 63 rip my humanity) and my section 3 is 5 points lower, you might be just on the wrong side of borderline since I didn't get an interview offer even with GWS and I...

Yes UQ is just QTAC. As for WSU, I'm fairly sure they said you'll get an interview based on just UMAT score (provided your weighted score is high enough) if you didn't hand in a predicted ATAR form, so maybe check with them. What was your split?

I think you'll get an offer, but unfortunately probably bonded. Your s1 only comes into play if you're borderline for unbonded/bonded or unbonded/no offer.

Maths Ext 2 gives 2 bonus points so the ATAR is a non-issue.

As others have said before, you just need >99 ATAR (also 2 bonus points offered for maths ext 2 or equivalent and 2 also offered for languages, so if you get 98 and have done 4U you've met the threshold etc., this is all automatic) and somewhere in the high 80s for UMAT (about 90-92%-ile usually...

For first year you don't really need any textbooks, but I found that the bio textbooks they tell us to buy helped me quite a bit, and the stats textbook you should get even if it's just for the midsem, since you can bring it in :P Don't bother with chem/phys/psyc textbooks - I didn't touch my...

Most people would probably just shoot for a spot in their home state because it's the most convenient and because $$

Oh you'll be fine - I did no bio and got 93 for phys (you don't even need to do phys in a BSc biomed major, which is pretty much what everyone does, but I'd recommend doing PHYS1171 for a free 7 :P). I've enjoyed uni science more so far except for chem actually. The offers just come via QTAC...

I only just finished first year so there's much harder stuff to come (I'm assuming), but really if you can keep up your habits from high school you'll be comfortably over that threshold (unless you have a lot of trouble with science). Just don't slack and you'll be fine - maybe one or two people...

Jesus that actually sucks. The MSO person has the same scores as me except S1, so it seems like S1's been hit pretty hard in addition to S3. We can definitely rule out S1 not counting because otherwise I'd be out of business too :P In all seriousness though 193 UMAT with a pretty good section...

They surely wouldn't change it after a year though. Last year my 1+2+.5*3 weighted would have gotten an interview (since someone else with a lower score by that system got an offer), and it definitely wasn't more than half of 3 since my s3 score was higher than that of the person in question...

You're probably right on the borderline then. I would've thought you'd be a shoe in for an interview spot though :S

Damn that's rough. Are you GWS? Weighting is 1 + 2 + a little bit (nobody knows exactly how much, but definitely less than half judging from last year) of 3.

ATAR (or equivalent)/UMAT/Interview all contribute equally.

Offer: nah UMAT: 100 (209) ATAR/GPA: 99.60/7 Interstate: yes but no (Sydney address, when I called she said you're Queensland anyway, no wait you're NSW) Applicant type: Non-standard I guess? Special consideration: nah Called them up and was told that they don't have my tertiary results yet so...

Got the UoN offer in the mail today, but it's at 8:30 am though =='
