I’ve heard that JCU and JMP sometimes get you to teach the interviewer something as part of the interview, for example how to hold chopsticks. What other topics/skills are good to teach (and are easy to teach) in this sort of task?
Unfortunately not. Still waitingAny further update on this Adelaide appeal?
Yeah, Gav10 and Sam26, please send me those sample questions!
UWA has their interviewees sign a NDA (a confidentiality agreement) so anybody that interviewed there cannot share the questions they were asked with others.Is there a interview question thread solely for UWA, like the one for JCU? I tried typing 'UWA interview' in the search bar but it came up with every mention of the interview, rather than tips/ advice/ practise questions.

Thanks a lot, and no NDA for JCU?UWA has their interviewees sign a NDA (a confidentiality agreement) so anybody that interviewed there cannot share the questions they were asked with others.
NopeThanks a lot, and no NDA for JCU?
I haven't interviewed at any of the undergraduate entry schools other than JCU, so I don't actually know what is specifically assessed in most of them (other than the key general themes that all medicine interviews are supposed to assess), so take this with a grain of salt.Also some practice questions on ethical topics such as euthanasia??
Also I have taken 2 gap years since school. However in the interviews, is it considered especially desirable or undesirable to mention gap years? I've received conflicting advice from doctors/med students - don't mention as it downplays your maturity level, mention it because it shows my determination for med (failed 2 times but still tried again), and another said that I can use it to say that I gained life experience but dont bring up umat. Thoughts on this??
Others may chip in here with a different viewpoint, but that's my 2c.
Oh wow an NDA! Interesting.UWA has their interviewees sign a NDA (a confidentiality agreement) so anybody that interviewed there cannot share the questions they were asked with others.

My advice would be to actually think about what you will do if you don't get into medicine or dentistry - it's a very real possibility for most (and actually the most likely outcome for most applicants will be that they don't gain entry into either course).I have a dent and med interview at Adelaide next week and I was wondering how you guys would recommend answering the "what would you do if you didn't get into med/dent?". Medicine is my first preference with dentistry as more of a backup (if home state doesn't work out either). I'm more concerned about what to respond to the "what if you didn't get into dentistry" since it is my backup to medicine.
Any advice?
I just looked through the inbox and yes, actually it was my fault. Not sure about the 5 day thing but I did find an email saying I had to submit my stat dec by the 5th but I uploaded it on the 10th .Oh, how incredibly frustrating.
Are the dates they’re quoting correct? Do you have a record of when you sent SATAC your stat dec?
