Thanks LMG. Hopefully some discussion arises closer to the offer dates!
I’ll change the name of this thread to make it more user friendly to others who might be popping by for 2019 entry. Probably don’t need a whole new thread.
ETA: done
Yeah mate, I'll be thereAre there many 2019 UTAS hopefuls around? Is it worth starting our own thread?
Fingers crossed we’ll be there togetherYeah mate, I'll be there
Don't lose hope! With a good GPA and application, there's still a chance for JCU!I'm a utas hopeful, also JCU but id prefer utas.. studying BMedRes first year in Launceston atm, didnt get direct entry so on competitive pathway. Moved from RA1 in WA so I am a non-rural applicant still. Sick for UMAT so did terrible, but still just hoping for the best.
Thank you
GPA 7 so far and should be same/very similar after this semester
I hope there is a higher chance!

Does UTAS competitive entry just use a GPA threshold of 6? Or is a higher GPA required?Last year, the lowest non-rural BMedRes (UTAS) student who got Entry for 2018 (and this entry came after the semester had started due to someone else pulling out) was 97th%ile.
And as for whether there’ll be much change given it’s only BMedRes (UTAS) students now eligible, I was wondering this myself, but unfortunately I suspect it won’t make too much difference because I honestly don’t think I’ve met a non-rural, non-UTAS BMedRes, non-standard student in my class this year. All the non-standard, non-UTAS BMedRes students this year (of which there are very few!) who would now be ineligible were also rural.
Best of luck, but definitely keep your JCU options open.

Don't at all want to put a damper on you here, but JCU reserves very limited places for non-standard applicants (and the vast majority of these go to rural applicants) so I'd definitely have non-med options to fall back on if it doesn't work out! Best of luck with your applications, thoughyeah thank you, i am suspecting it will be the same again. Oh and not sure if you misunderstood but I am a UTAS student this year I just don't qualify as a rural yet.
Yes I am definitely preparing to have JCU as my only option and hoping I do well in the interview if I am offered one..

Hello! Popping in to say hi! I've got my application in for UTAS for next year.
Good luck to all applicants
Hello! And best of luck! Besides BMedRes, what’s your background? Are you also a local, or have you moved to Tas for Uni? And how did you go in UMAT this year?
Hey! Actually, I am an Indigenous applicant. I have a background in health and have been doing another degree at UTAS to gain a decent GPA, I have the chemistry foundation over the summer too. My original intent was just getting the GPA for BMedRes and going for MBBS from there but I got encouraged to apply for 2019.
No UMAT thankfully but I doubt I will get in this year.
I'd just be happy with admittance to BMedRes and then apply again next year worst if need be
Local girl, born and raised I would love UTAS admittance to Medicine but will also apply interstate next year. I will probably do non-Indigenous routes also to increase my chances. meaning UCAT!
