Hi,
Thank you for the prompt reply.
Given that a GPA of 7 is equivalent to an ATAR of 99.95, means that there is a very high chance of gaining to entrance into the course I presume?

Hi,

I think we can safely assume that since GPA 7 is the maximum GPA you can achieve and that the cutoff for previous years was around the 6.5-6.6 mark, that there is higher chance of getting in unless something dramatic happens like every applicant has GPA 7 making the cutoff GPA 7. That would be scary. Although I have heard that it has happened before.
WOW..cut off of gpa of 7? when did that happen?
That is scary indeed.
Can't imagine a whole cohort with perfect GPAs/ATARs LOL
Hi @dsmalik , I should probably clarify that a GPA of 7 = RANK of 99.95 not ATAR ( as qtac uses ranks instead of ATAR so it gets a bit confusing), but yes, you will have a very high chance of gaining entry.
I saw somewhere that you were applying to med. Is dent your "back up" plan?
Hey guys, as far as I know Griffith selected over 140 students for the 2014 intake and so the cut-off was much lower than previous years. However, for the 2015 intake was told the School is going to accept far less and so the cut-off should be higher. When I entered the cut-off GPA was 6.75 and as of now we have around ~95 domestic students and about 10 international students remaining. Best of luck!
Woah well done HotIce and LimoBean on your impressive GPAs (y) I feel so insecure coming on to MSO sometimes lol. I guess I'm out of the running if the cut off is 6.55 as I only have 6.5..

Wait what? 140? Why would they do that? Are there even enough seats and facilities for all of them? I called Griffith and they said they had 90 seats available for 2015 intake.
Ok but how many domestic places were available in previous years aka the years that didnt accept 140...or has it always been around that many?We actually have no idea why the School accepted 140 students, i don't think the school can accommodate that many students in the sim labs and clinics.. 90 students sound much better! Just a note if you guys are International students the cut-offs are lower than domestic students.

Both the 4th and 5th years above me have the similar number of domestic students. Just the 2014 intake had the increased number of students..

No quota for Non Standards, they are ranked against Standards. The better ranked student is selected.Hi,
Is there a quota for the number of non-standard students that accepted every year for GU? Or are non-standards equally considered?

It was 40-50CSP places before 2010. Basically they had over 1000 applications for those places, so the School increased the number to close to 100. I have no idea what happened last year but it may be due to the ADA advocating a cap on Dental Students and I think the new government has listened to this. The Uni may have wanted to quickly get some more $ in before the caps were in place (Probably to pay off the new building)Both the 4th and 5th years above me have the similar number of domestic students.
