Yes, unless their university subjects allow them to meet the prerequisites instead.

Yep! Your QTAC application should show that the chemistry requirement has been met once they've assessed it, too.

Hi Blackmores, CHEM191 from Uni Otago is equivalent to Chemistry Unit 3&4 in Queensland.
You can check it from this web:

Do we know when QTAC will assess if we've met the requirement? Because I'm not too sure if I met the English requirements for UQ dent.
For level 3 English NCEA, I have 4 credits at excellence, 7 at merit and 7 at achieved.

They should do it after the applications have closed; and you cannot really predict it. Best bet is to contact UQ and ask if your english qualification meet the requirement or not. That would save you the stress
I've just found this on the undergraduate application page for UQ,
I'm curious as to whether this applies to Dentistry. Given that UCAT is already a differentiator, and which of the UCAT or raw atars would be used first to differentiate the applicants.

- applicants who achieve an ATAR or selection rank of 99.00 or above without adjustments will be considered before applicants who achieve a selection rank of 99.00 or above after adjustments are added.
Yes.
Well it depends if they use it before or after the ucat.
If they use it after the ucat, it will only differentiate applicants with the same ucat score.
If they use it before the ucat, it will pretty much render the bonus points useless.
I looked up the quote, and here is the full list. If you consider that these measures 'might include' and its listed after the ucat, means im not really sure if its the former or latter.
Sneaky edit: An email to UQ might solve our problem if someone wants to volunteer themselves

Apparently,
I called QTAC and spoke to someone who got in contact with the assessor of my application at QTAC.
He did not say anything about my 2 LOTE bonus points at UQ being rendered useless.
Instead he told me that the 2 bonus points would add on to my 97 ATAR and make me eligible for the course (like how MSO regards the bonus points.)
Or maybe he himself was clueless about this ATAR bonus point differentiator (Unless I get super lucky and my QTAC application gets through.)

QTAC wouldnt say youre rendered useless because technically youre still eligble if they consider 99 unadjusted higher than 99 adjusted, just in not in the realm of competitive because of how many people apply.
A more helpful contact would be UQ themselves (specifically an email to admissions who will actually direct it to the dent faculty because student services wouldnt know), and asking whether 99 adjusted will be ranked lower than 99 adjusted before or after applicants are differentiated on their UCAT score.

Good shout, uq admissions probably another good shout since they have all the info to send off to qtac. I assume qtac probably doesn't have the updated rationale
Just Shoot a one/two liner no need to draft it. Super easy going team at admissions.
