Hey guys, I've searched around but I can't find much information on much updated information for the entry scheme of Adelaide dentistry. I currently study in NSW, in year 12 doing HSC right now - I can confidently say my ATAR is probably going to be somewhere between in the 99+ range. What i've deduced from other posts is that UMAT is the criterion in which interviews are distributed - and from thereon-after, your chance of entry is 100% dependent on your results from the interview - and that we're ranked based on our interview performance (idk what system it is). ATAR is mentioned only as a final threshold we have to meet (90+).
From this I have a few questions:
1) Does getting 99.95 and 99.0 make no difference in application strength?
2) What UMAT percentile was the cut off for 2017? (if first year people could inform me of their knowledge of what score got in/didn't get in that would be really helpful)
3) How many undergraduates are taken in? (cohort size)
4) Is the interview a really rigorous and competitive process? about what % of people offered interviews actually get accepted? I've heard that some interviews at unis are just to make sure you're not insane, whereas some actually look critically to pick the best from the best (USYD dent)
5) *Side question : im slightly confused by the dental degrees that are split into 2 ( GRIFFITH), if you get into the 3 year dental science degree at griffith, does that guarantee your entry into the graduate program that gives you accreditation as a dentist practitioner? or do you need to do some other test
If you actually read my whole post I really appreciate it, any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
