Don't really know if this is the correct place to post this but i posted here earlier so anyway, following from these messages:
emailed utas this morning, this was the response:
Whilst you have a wonderful UMAT score, the ATAR requirement for Interstate non-rural applicants is over 95.
Your ATAR equivalent is 74 and therefore well below the requirement for entry into Medicine.
tfw satac gives you an atar equivalent of 99.6 and qtac gives you OP1 but UTAS reckons that's a 74. rip
So some of you may remember about 3 weeks ago i was told by utas they'd calculated my atar equivalent to be 74 then a conveniently-just-below-the-hurdle 93.
Well after like 3 weeks of arguing and emailing the vice chancellor of utas and getting my school to back me and contact utas too, utas just emailed me to say they've recalculated my atar equivalent to be 99.15.
Hopefully something good comes from this but i guess it probs won't seeing as no interstate non rurals seemed to get an offer here.
In that response from UTAS above they also said I needed to come up with syllabuses for English and Chem. Took me a while to get those from my School but I did on Tuesday and sent them to UTAS and requesting in my email that they consider sending me an offer for on the condition that I defer till next year since I'm sure all med spots have been taken for this year. Thankfully I got a call from head of admissions today who said that she couldn't yet validate my chem prereq but she was happy to offer me a place that will be automatically deferred till 2019 and that if my chem isn't validated after Easter I can do a bridging course.
Just got the email confirming my deferred offer.
