studying interstate myth (1 Viewer)

is it true that if i apply for a uni interstate, my chances of being accepted into that uni are lower that students who come from that state?
like, are they more likely to accept a person from their own state than a person from another state?
i heard that you need to do exceptionally well, or achieve marks way above the cut off before even being considered. is this true?

No.

As far as i know, you make the cut-off, you get in, end.

As you mentioned in the title, it's just a myth.

However there are some exceptions. For example, the UMAT score needed to get an interview for UWA Medicine and Dental Science is slightly lower for local applicants.
