Hey I was doing some googling and this really puzzled me. According to UWA, they say that they only offer 65 places in their direct entry pathway (
High Academic Achievement Direct Pathway to MD and DMD > Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences: The University of Western Australia). However, according to TISC they offered and subsequently offered over 140 students (
http://www.tisc.edu.au/static-fixed/statistics/application-offer/2019-06-30-uwa.pdf). How can there be such a large disparity between these figures? Remember that these figures are for the direct pathway, so postgraduate numbers are not included either.
This contrasts with the uwa reported positions for the DMD direct entry vs. the TISC statistics, which show around 24 places according to UWA and 30 places offered from TISC. These numbers of far more in line with each other.
on a separate note, why is there such a large disparity between the number of people that apply for the direct pathway (only available to school leavers and gap year) and the number of WACE people that apply? 1200 vs. 400 is a very large difference.
