Dentistry Entry Discussion and Questions
- Thread starter ajs604
- Start date
couldn't solve it either hAHA
Same here - they started me off with something along the lines of 'What are some issues rural populations face when it comes to their dental health?" and then asked something about commitment to rural health but I don't think I got that exact question.
Heard from others that apparently CSU changed it's focus now towards accepting more of rural/Indigenous background because it got in trouble for accepting too many city/metropolitan students previously.
Yeah; they say somewhere on their website that you must have it first preference; but I have heard that they might shoot you an email, saying that you might wanna chuck it up to first preference before the offers round, with the inference that you have an offer.
Yep, they finished today afternoon.
Awesome, thank you
If anyone is willing, we would love it if you could share your experiences here if you get the time at some point: CSU Interview Experiences
Yeah looking at previous years. This year there was no mention of when offers would be released :/
Just to clarify for everyone, if you receive a phone call/ email from CSU in Dec it's kinda early notice not a formal offer. There's a UAC offer round on 12-Dec and one on 23-Dec. If CSU Dent participate they will send their ranked offer list to UAC first; for the off chance you have a higher pref *that you qualify for* in that round UAC will give you that one instead of CSU. It's why CSU say generically you should have it at 1st pref.
In a hypothetical case that you have CSU below say UNSW Med for the Dec rounds; since you have not interviewed/qualified for UNSW Med at that stage UAC is likely to offer you CSU anyway despite not 1st pref. But that's not conclusive, so just play safe and put CSU 1st.
Hi everyone, it's almost that time of year again when offers start to roll out (in fact, it seems LaTrobe offers started to go out today). In the past, MSO has had multiple threads (one per uni, two if they offer both med and dent) for people to haphazardly put their offer details into, and it's made collecting the data into something useful really time consuming, so we're trying to move away from that model to a central repository. We've done this the past couple of years and it has been a much cleaner process.
Here is the 2020 Entry thread: Med and Dent - 2020 Entry (Offers and Discussion)

Welcome to MSO!
Convert the result of each individual unit you took into a grade of 1-7 using the following scale:
85+ = 7
75 - 84 = 6
65 - 74 = 5
55 - 64 = 4
Find the average and that’s your GPA for the Queensland universities.
Griffith was apparently a 6.875 cutoff. UQ only uses GPA as a hurdle, so as long as you’re at 6.5 or above, UCAT score determines place offer selection.
They’ll very likely use all 8 papers, as we don’t use that system here.
They will use everything you’ve done. Griffith will need 6.875. UQ ~6.50 (hurdle) + UCAT.
I wouldn’t rule Griffith out yet if your GPA is 6.75 (that was the cutoff in previous years before the jump to 6.875 last year). I don’t think 85 in UCAT has been enough for UQ in the past, and there’s no waitlist there, unfortunately.Okay thank you! Looks like I won't make the cut for Griffith, it really sucks when in two of your papers you got 84(
I did pass the hurdle (have a gpa of 6.50+) and have a 85th percentile UCAT. Would that put me on the waitlist at least?

Did you apply for Dent elsewhere in Aus? Your GPA could be competitive for JCU with a solid written application and they don’t use UCAT.
Yeah, JCU applications close on September 30. Best of luck for the ones you have applied to!
35 places If I remember correctly from the conversation with UQ dent admissions.

Maybe try La Trobe and UAdel too if they're still open!
LaTrobe offers have started going out! I doubt they’re still open for applications. And UAdel Dent interviews have also been well and truly released.
