CSU CSU Dentistry: Interview Prep

[AnubisHorus&Ra]

As per CSU website:
Final offers into the course will be conditional on obtaining a GPA of 5.5 or better at the end of the academic year of application, across a minimum of 6 standard subjects (48 credit points or more) in that year. No final offer will be made, irrespective of performance during interviews, to students who did not achieve a GPA of 5.5 or better at the end of the academic year, across all subjects attempted in the academic year.

I have completed a minimum of 4 subjects at CSU but will not have done 6 by the end of this academic year.
Am I still eligible for entry into the course?

Generally, I would say no. It clearly states that you need to have done 6 standard subjects. The exception to that is if you have done 2 double weight subjects. The entry requirements are based on credit points. A basic subject is weighted at 8 points. A double weight subject is worth 16 points. If you have neither two double weighted subjects, nor 6 standard in this academic year, you are not eligible. By all means, apply, but they aren't likely to look past the lack of credit points.

Hey everybody! Congrats to those who’ve completed their interviews I hope it went as you planned. December round offers are realised on the 23rd and second round in January. Some students will also receive offers 2 weeks before course commencement via phone calls!

Every year Ievel will have its own group chat to discuss Orientation and events on Facebook. So, if you are seeing this message and have received an offer, you can search SDA on Facebook whom will guide you to your homeroom chat. I’ll post any updates here

Could anyone please shed some light on how long interviews were in the past (I saw 30 minutes in previous posts) and how many minutes you were given for each question? And did you have to factor in time for follow-up questions?

30 minutes. Roughly 8 minutes per station. Interviewer will have a list of 6 questions in front of them. You don't have to get through all of them. I got through 3-4 most of the time.

Thanks! How many stations did you have to get through? and so there is no penalty for not getting through all the questions per station?
