Offical uni website: Dentistry, La Trobe University

They require a high ATAR/GPA as well according to the site. VTAC -> La Trobe dentistry might be another place to find out info.

True, but they will still accept some places.

If you were wanting latrobe specifically, I wouldn't be cut if you didn't get in this year at all.
I suppose if you had a REALLY good UMAT, Pi and ATAR you might get in. Hard to tell, I get the feeling they look at each non-standard case separately.

I agree with mighty. Someone wrote that La Trobe article for a reason, so I urge you and everyone else to look at the articles first.

I've heard from someone there that there will probably be ~10 places available to metro applicants, so expect the ATAR cut to be quite high into the 99s :/

I agree, especially with the over offering- scholarships award thing that went on, la trobe is going to be tough this year!
