Some universities may scale the entire cohort up or allow those students to sit supplementary exams.
Hey Unluckydude, I'm late to the party, but I see you got into Latrobe's dentistry program via internal transfer. Do you think I could pm you some questions?

Hey. I sent you a pm! Think it would be easier to chat on thereHi Jim,
Thank you soooo much for your reply!!! I really appreciated it! Interms of CSU, I actually received a rejection emailthe email stated that I have a great application but due to the "competitive nature of the program" I was not accepted. For JCU however, I really think the program is full by now as this year they're doing rolling admissions meaning that the earlier you apply, the higher your chances are. For UQ, I know they have multiple offer rounds (around 3 rounds) but so far, I did not receive any email about them being full so I have some hope. My ultimate goal is actually Griffith so if I have the highest chance to get accepted there then I have nothing to complain about!!!
Did apply for the 2021 intake or have you already started dental school? and if you don't mind me asking, are you a Canadian student as well?
It could, but also note the "entry requirements" refer to the GPA cutoff too, and this won't be determined until quite close to the offers date in mid January. So, don't expect that message to change for a long time! Nothing to worry about currently.

What GPA would be considered competitive for specialisation?
Very open ended Question. Uq gives that the lowest accepted Gpa last year was 4.5 ish. GPA is not a major factor in specialisation in most cases.
I’ve heard from recent graduate dentists that roughly a credit average (GPA ~5) is what you should maybe be aiming for. But they weren’t even sure. Like Cal mentioned there isn’t a definite answer as it’s a minor component of the selection process.

Mine says the same thing even though I have completed the full study, apparently, it won't change until you get an offer so don't panic too much! I'm applying for Griffith too
If I'm not wrong - no they do not. It's straight GPA/ATAR

Hi all, for my UAdel Bachelor of Dental Surgery application on SATAC, it is showing me as 'Not currently eligible for consideration'. Is this showing up the same for everyone or have I messed up my application somehow. Thanks in advance 
No, sorry!

Someone has it the other way around here > Admissions Centres Questions and Discussion
Leave it for couple of weeks see if it will change, if not you should follow up by mid October.
Has been discussed many times already this year! It’s very early days, don’t worry about it for the time being. You can panic in a couple of months time but they likely are yet to process your SATAC application yet.Hi all, for my UAdel Bachelor of Dental Surgery application on SATAC, it is showing me as 'Not currently eligible for consideration'.

do UQ non-standard applicants also have to meet the high school subject prerequisites? eg english & chemistry
Usually non-standard applicants are subject to the same requirements as their school leaver counterparts but may meet the requirements in a different way; tertiary chemistry unit vs high school chemistry, for example. I’d imagine this would hold true for UQ Dent, but Cal can confirm.
