Flinders Flinders Medicine: Provisional Entry General Discussion

  • Thread starter Thread starter Josht4971
  • Start date Start date
Are those numbers including the NT students and international students? The 2021 grad entry booklet also says 75 CSPs on offer for SA.

They are domestic including the NT students. Interestingly this coincided with Flinders making 60-65 provisional offers the last two years, so have they increased the prov cohort like UWA & Griffith did !

If Flinders provisional are all unbonded, this is really interesting.
 
I was just playing around with the medical dean's student statistics table and came across some confusing numbers that I hope to clarify.

Domestic enrolements for Flinders for Y3(2019)=119 but for Y4(2020)=176. Where have these extra students come from?

Out of the 137 Y4(2019) students, 123 of them graduated so they can't all be from students repeating the year.

Yep I saw that and asked the same question. But considering the Y1(2017) & Y2(2018) numbers I believe it's a typo, could be 126 instead of 176.

Ah yes that does make a lot more sense.

Also not sure if this is the right place to ask, but do most international graduates from Adelaide/Flinders manage to get internship positions in SA?

Does an international graduate getting an internship mean that all interstate domestic applicants have already been offered one?

I don't know if the situation has improved but two years ago SA struggled to provide enough internships for SA domestic CSPs let alone int'l graduates.

Internships are allocated on state-by-state basis, you need to check their Priority ranking tables. I believe VIC is the best for int'ls since they rank Vic int'l grads higher than interstate CSPs i.e. after Vic domestics get their places any surplus go to Vic int'ls. WA *was* 2nd best for the same reason, plus up to 15% of WA-taught grads decline WA internships to return to home state thus lots of surplus (but I say was because Curtin's 60-100 grads start coming out from next year, they might take up all the surplus).

NSW is not bad for int'ls if they are prepared to go bush. Allocation is by pathways first: Rural/Remote > Regional > General then Priorities apply within each pathway/network. So an int'l grad opting for a rural/remote spot that not many domestics are interested in can get a NSW internship while an interstate domestic might not get one in the other pathways. QLD after all Qld domestics (incl. Bond FFPs) get their places any surplus are awarded on merit so JCU int'ls often get picked by the hospitals where they did their clinicals, ahead of interstate applicants.
 
...Adding the essential caveat that today's priority lists are only relevant and applicable to this year's crop of graduates. They are not fixed; they can and do change (so you can't assume today's conditions will apply to you in the future).

Your caveat is acknowledged. Otoh I've been observing these priorities the last 5 years, have not noticed any changes particularly to domestic FFPs vs interstate CSPs vs international FFPs.
 
I've been observing things for a lot longer than five years. ;) Things have changed a lot with allocation given the increased number of grads over the years, and as such, it's critical that students understand that when a discussion is talking about allocation priority lists, that these lists are not guaranteed for anyone but that year of graduation. It's a common assumption made by students that the lists are fixed in stone - so it's important these discussions are tempered with the important caveats.

Would having a 77th UCAT and a 99.95 UES Adjusted ATAR be possible for an offer?

Very possible. In my year a poster said her 76%ile UMAT was the lowest among the 99.95s first round offers then there were a few more lower afterwards. Last year apparently a boosted 99.95 + 70ish %ile got a top-up offer.

May I please ask which unis gave the offers? Thanks.
 
Hello, in SATAC, for uni adel, it says that I'm awaiting assessment under the status column. But for Flinders University, it says I'm Not currently eligible for consideration. Can anyone here shed some insight on why that may be?

I’d say they just haven’t got to assessing your application for Flinders yet, as has been discussed with many others this year already. Give it another month or two before you start worrying about it.

Reactions: nb
does median atar for flinders med (99.7) include rural entry?

basically I was wondering if my 99.65 + 99th percentile ucat would receive an offer?
