Subject: Important dates - Applications to UNSW Undergraduate Medicine Program
Dear Applicant
This is a global email to all local applicants (i.e. Australian citizens and permanent residents and New Zealand citizens) for entry to the UNSW Medicine Program in 2004. It is intended as a reminder of important dates in the admission process:
Application through UAC If you have not already done so, please
ensure that you submit an application to UNSW Medicine Program with the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) by September 30, 2003. Further information is available from their website (
www.uac.edu.au) or the UAC 2004 Guide available from newsagents. The telephone number for UAC is (02) 9752 0200. The UAC code for Medicine is 428000. Please note that this application is quite separate to the application and CV that you have already submitted to the Faculty of Medicine earlier this year.
Main Round Interviews - Interviews are being held from Monday
September 29 to Friday October 3, 2003 inclusive. Offers to attend these interviews will be emailed and mailed to applicants on Monday September 15 or Tuesday September 16, 2003. We will notify applicants who were not selected for the main round interviews (by email) by Friday September 19, 2003. Applicants are selected for the September/October interviews on the basis of a combination of their academic results (actual or predicted) and UMAT results. (Please note that we are unable to give out information regarding UMAT results to applicants.)
Final Round Interviews A smaller number of interviews will be held
in the final round of interviews on Monday January 5 and Tuesday January 6, 2004. Offers to attend these interviews will be emailed and mailed to applicants on Monday December 22, 2003. Applicants actual academic results will be used for selection for the January interviews (again together with the UMAT results).
We anticipate that we will interview 450 to 500 applicants over both interview sessions from almost 3,000 applications that were received.
Category Preferences If you have not already done so, please
