Curtin Curtin Medicine: General Questions and Discussion

[Deleted member 38923]

I didn't count, but there were 2 circuits at the same time( each with 8 stations) but there were some empty spots, so definetely less than 16. Btw I was at the 9.30am session.
Personally, I don't feel as if I've done very well since at every station I finished speaking well before the 6 minute limit, and every interviewer had to ask me all 2 of their follow up questions. How about you?

Agree with what Crow and Vanquita said. Also, the follow-up questions are standards and the interviewers have to ask the same ones for each participant to ensure that everyone has a fair chance of answering.
It's the same for any LOTE speaking exams that one would have to do if they took those subjects. ))
Congratulations on getting to the interview process, and all the best for your future studies!

So rough that we have another week to wait for offers! Do offers/rejections usually come through by email? I read of some people receiving calls?

I can give some background info to clarify. Crow & I were contacted by a member saying she was advised by Curtin Admissions the formula 0.6Atar+0.4Umat was used thus she was unsuccessful. We explained to her using such formula was mathematically wrong, but Curtin would not listen to our argument.

It wasn't this member but her friend, who was in similar situation, employed a lawyer to challenge. Curtin investigated and the outcome was as I wrote in my previous post.

Would be interesting to know if they were given unbonded or bonded places (in comparison to other students who were interviewed).

Hi. Has anyone heard anything from Curtin yet? I know they said to wait until the 31st but I’m anxious waiting. (For Perth metro students - I am aware rural and indigenous students have been allocated places already)

 

[LennyHayes]

We’re nearly there! Good luck for tomorrow everyone.

I see that there’s an offer in the offers thread - has anyone else heard anything? I haven’t. Feel like I’m just waiting for the inevitable rejection email now

Do you know if there are rejection emails released?

Do you know if there are rejection emails released?

nah I don’t, just assumed there would be but doesn’t look like it.

Do you know if they would release all the offers at the same time?

 

[angelica2001]

Congratulations everyone! I got an offer too - I'm ecstatic!

 

[Kale]

Does anyone know if all offers from Curtin have been released?

Congratulations everyone! I got an offer too - I'm ecstatic!

What time did you receive it?

Is anyone able to provide links that talk about how Curtin has a focus on rural and/or primary care in their program?

First two pages of their Admissions guide as well as the Dean’s opening speech in the above video.

2.1 and 2.2 on page 30 on the AMC accredication report outline this further for anyone that is interested. Furthermore, another interesting point is that a maximum of 8% of places in Curtin's medical program can be allocated to non-standard entrants (as noted on page 59).8% of the total 110 spots available when Curtin eventually reaches it's maximum capacity is only 8-9 spots.

Ahhh if you did not receive a Curtin offer yesterday does that mean your chance is over? I called them up yesterday and they said that they would be sending rejection emails but I do not have one of those either. Thanks !

I didn't receive a rejection email either

Yep same, got nothing. Kinda poor form I thought - but maybe they’ll send it next week.

It's not unusual for Universities to not send out rejection emails at the same time they send out offers. Given the sheer number of people receiving offers who will go on to decline them, unless an applicant is clearly ineligible, then they're unlikely to be ruled completely out of contention at that point. Some universities send bulk rejection emails at the end of O Week when cohorts have been finalised.

Yep, I noticed last year quite a few people got offered a place via phone call once the semester had already started! So I'm thinking if they send rejection letters at all, it will be for people that are very far down the list.

Quick question,


Did the majority of Curtin offers come out a couple days ago? I've getting conflicting signals as I've been told that offers come out this Friday
