Personally I’d do this: have JCU first and wait until place offers come out. If you get a bonded position at JCU, switch the preferences and put Griffith first. You’d be in with an almost certain shot at a second round Griffith offer if they do them given your ATAR.Trying to decide between JCU med and Griffith provisional entry medicine for top preference. I received an atar of 99.90. I currently have Griffith GC as no. 1. I have interviewed for JCU and I am also a regional student, however will have to move for uni no matter where I go. I have been reading all the posts and still am undecided. Is it better to take the direct entry into med? If I put JCU as number 1 and don’t get a place, will I still get an offer for Griffith? Thanks for any advice
Personally I think JCU’s program is excellent and if I were a school-leaver applicant it would be my top preference in the country, particularly over provisional entry programs like Griffith, but it’s really up to the individual and what they’d prefer at the end of the day.
