Okay, thanks.ITFT = its time for thai
as for your second year i would assume so? maybe ask a 2nd year or smth
By 2021 I’ll have one FTE year at university but I don’t have an ATAR as I did year 11 and 12 in Canada and didn’t do any kind of equivalent. I want to apply for UNSW but does anyone know whether I can apply with just my GPA ? thanks!
Thought I’d see if anyone had been in the same boat (or similar) but I guess not really haha! I did just send a message to them so will wait to hear back then ! Thank you!You will need to contact UNSW directly to find out what they will require (if anything) to ensure your eligibility. We have only had one person here in the past ~3-4 years in this situation and they contacted the Uni directly to find out what they’d need to do (their issue was not having an ATAR as they’d never completed year 12 many years ago).

Ah okay, was hoping my high school grades wouldn’t count because they’re not all that great (I wasn’t planning on going to uni) but my uni grades are much better haha ! UNSW isn’t my first preference anyway so I’ll wait for their response and see what happens I suppose! Thanks for the info though, makes more sense now!UNSW med applications are via UAC, I'm fairly sure UAC will use your Canadian Y11/12 to convert to an ATAR equivalent then combine 50/50 with your GPA.
This would be done free after you pay UAC the med application fee. If you don't mind paying UAC $130 they can do a private assessment so you know in advance, google UAC QAS for details.

I have been following this thread & understand that UNSW considers an applicant's ATAR and GPA. This applies to 'Non-standards applicants' applying through the 'local/domestic applications'. I am wondering if a contributor to this forum can tell me more about 'Rural applications' particularly concerning the GPA. Let's say the applicant has an ATAR of at least 91.45 which I gather is on most of the universities' websites that offer a rural entry scheme, what GPA does an applicant need to stay competitive ? I am considering if I should apply or abandon. ✍
Thank you. I will do so.the only rural non-standard offers we had reported here last year were for GPA 6.50 and 6.25. Neither user provided their ATAR. Both had lowish UCATs.
It might be more useful to check the interview thread, there might be more data there.
Thank you. I will do so.

Okay, will take note of estimations. Thank you again. ✍the only rural non-standard offers we had reported here last year were for GPA 6.50 and 6.25. Neither user provided their ATAR. Both had lowish UCATs.
It might be more useful to check the interview thread, there might be more data there. ETA2: unfortunately there wasn’t really.
ETA: the 6.25 had an ATAR of 95.2, I think.

Thank you for your reply. Will wait until I sit & receive my UCAT score in July; compare in October against the UCAT ANZ Consortium statistics, weigh up my chances & contact UNSW asking them directly.My perception of UNSW's approach is that after this ATAR/GPA combination you are simply placed into the same pool of applicants as the school leavers. If this is a correct assumption then you absolutely have a chance given a good tertiary record.
With an ATAR of 91.45 and a GPA of 6.5+ will bring your equivalent academic mark to a 95.475 ATAR using this table: Non-standard Medicine Entry, which may be competitive enough given a good ucat and interview (last year we had a rural CSP offer ATAR: 95.35, UCAT: 2660, RA2)
Given that this offer was a CSP with a mediocre UCAT means that you might be able to scrape by with a lower GPA, but you will be well served boosting your academic record either way.
It might be worth emailing UNSW directly and asking them if non standards are placed in the same pool
