Hey
If you're in MBBS at UWS can you please post your ATAR on this thread so i get a general idea of whether or not its actually possible to get in with a mid-90's ATAR
thx

UWS don't consider ATAR when choosing med applicants, you only need to be above the cutoff, e.g. two ppl with same UMAT but one gets ATAR of 96 and other gets 99.95 are considered equal when choosing for interviews.

Awesome. Is that with every Uni? How about USYD?

 

[Mr legend]

@ exploitable- i know i've heard that but it just sounds too good to be true

Are you a GWS applicant?

That doesn't make it super easy to get in, there's like 140 interview spots, 70 of those are reserved for GWS applicants and you're still competing against thousands.

And it's better tbh, ATAR is no indicator of how good a doctor someone can be.

It's a fair indicator of how well a student they will be before they even come close to being a doctor.

Get 99+ smash UMAT go to UNSW live forever at the Roundhouse

Agreed. Although I personally think that postgrad med is a better option compared to undergrad, because that weeds out a lot of the ones only in it for cash and have no real passion for what they study.

i'd suppose Section 2 tests whether the person is emotionally retarded or not, which is fairly important imo.
