Hey guys,

So I did my psychometric test last year but I got offered an invite from testgrid to do it. I called bond and they said that an email from the University will be sent later today with instructions. Is there anyone else who's in the same situation atm?

Hey, have you received anything from Bond yet?
I am in the same situation
 
Hi, I currently have bond as my third qtac preference as was holding out for top up offers from higher preferences. I didn't receive a psychometric invite thos year as I sat it last year and on qtac it says not satisfied for bond. If I set it as first preference now am I still eligible or have I missed the time period to do that?

Thanks

I think you may have unfortunately missed the eligibility period

Anyone's QTAC status changed to satisfied?

Sadly a lot of people’s QTAC changed to satisfied early this morning and have received their invite. Looks like whoever is still showing as pending missed out and is on a waiting list in the event someone rejects their interview offer (deadline for RSVP is Monday 20 Feb).

Do you have any idea of how many reject the interview offer?

Im still showing as pending - I see the website states "Applicants with Pending QTAC status may receive communication from Bond by Monday, 27 February 2023" so I guess there is potential for an invitation to interview to arrive anytime up to the start of interview week. I dont even know if i will be able to get a flight at such short notice (im in NZ). Anyone else in this boat?
 
Hi guys, I got an interview offer but didn't see the offer until last night near midnight as it somehow ended up in my "promotions/junk' folder. The only spot is 28th at 8am but honestly I probably can't make this as I have compulsory tuts that clash - I've emailed Bond to see if there's any other spots but not sure if I should even go at this point because the time is so tight. I want to know honest opinions of Bond MD - is it worth it? I couldnt find updated advice but heard that Bond MD graduates aren't guaranteed a graduate position or internship?? (not too sure). My family isn't filthy rich but they are supportive and said would do what they can to support me (likely needing to sell a house). I also don't want to hold this place as I know many qualified and more passionate students are waiting for a position to open up. ahhh pls help

I've heard that Bond graduates are guaranteed an internship in QLD, and can apply for interstate internships but are placed at a lower priority.

You have some difficult decisions to make with your family. Most pathways to Medicine, do not involve you and your family going into considerable debt and being financially stressed. Do well in undergrad and in the Gamsat and eventually you will likely to get in- without the family selling the house and the immense pressure on you. If you are determined and work hard you will eventually get in to another Uni that is not full fee paying. There needs to be more bonded places to help also solve the doctor shortage in rural regions.
 
Hey guys! one of my friends got a 98 selection rank (undergrad): and confirmed with QTAC and didn't receive a psychometric test offer. Is there anyone who got lower than a 98 and got a psychometric offer? Or anyone that knows why this may have happened? Thank you!

This seems to happen to students who don’t place Bond as their 1st preference on QTAC. Yes many people received invites with ATAR lower than 98.

Hi all hope the interviews went well. Seemed like only a significantly less proportion of females interviewed? Did you guys have this experience?
