They require a 90 Atar Minimum; but then they also rank it so your 5.3 after one year would be a 91 atar. But you would have to have a really high UCAT and interview score to counter act it as usually not many people w/ anything below mid to high 90s get a spot.

Their ambiguous "order of importance" of interview, then ATAR, then UCAT is unusual because they don't mean ranking on interview then using ATAR and UCAT as tiebreakers - if this were true, we would be seeing far more low 90s ATARs get a place offer. On the other hand, if it were a weighted average/ranking why not just say so like they do for medicine? (40/40/20 etc.)

Damn, I just got an email from Adelaide saying why I didn't get an offer; and they listed that medicine would have most of the offers in JAN, but not Dentistry. I hope it was just an oversight lmao.

Wait so both Dent and Med will have the majority of their offers released in January?

Hiiiii,
Does anyone know what percentile for UMAT was previously required to obtain an offer at UQ? I really want to apply there but wondering if I actually have a shot as my ucat score wasn’t that great. Thank you

Iirc 3 years ago it was 86%ile (which surprised me then as being quite low), then it rose to 88%ile and again to 91%ile last year.

Hey does anyone know whether UQ historically have top-up Dent offers? Have received a Griffith offer which I'm elated by, and hadn't even entertained the possibility of getting a UQ offer, though saw this post and wondered whether my statistics (7 GPA albeit 1 year FTE, and a UCAT of 2820 with 586 SJT) might have me in with a chance.

Course Type: Dent
Offer Received: Yes
University: UQ
UCAT: 2830, 545 SJT
ATAR or GPA: 6.625 GPA
Special Considerations: None
Offer Type: CSP
Other Information:

AHHHHH

Though obviously who knows what other factors might have been at play (e.g. perhaps this GPA was held over a longer time period, or in an honours or masters)

The cut off seems to be 2830; as someone with that score got an invite. Sooo, I would definitely enrol in griffith (because they historically don't do second round offers), BUT you are in a great position for a top up offer later (mid-late feb when they do them). If enough people reject their offers then you will be all good and get a spot

Yeah cut-off seems to be 2830. Just curious whether top-ups are a thing! Am stoked to go to Griffith, but more the principle that I was potentially a single UCAT question off!

Hey, if UQ does end up sending out second round offers then I think you’re in a great position for one. I just did 1 FTE of a regular bachelor degree, so I think it came down to our UCAT scores being 10 apart. Congrats on getting Griffith though and best of luck for a top-up UQ offer!!

Congrats to you too! Amazing accomplishment, and absolutely deserved.

Fingers-crossed, but hardly something I'm going to beat myself up over
