Flinders Flinders Medicine: Provisional Entry General Discussion

  • Thread starter Thread starter Josht4971
  • Start date Start date
I got a 99.75 ATAR and my EAS (which I called to confirm) lists my yr 12 rank at 99.95 for non medicine courses. I have Adelaide unbonded, bonded then flinders as my preferences, respectively. But my Adelaide interview was the worst interview I've sat. Would you guys recommend I move my Flinders up to second preference, and secondly if I would want to do so, would it be too late? I got a 3220 UCAT (99th percentile).

I'm not getting what you're saying, what difference does it make? Interview qualms aside, which of Adelaide bonded and Flinders would you attend if given the choice? Whichever one is your preference, put that above the other. It's not that hard, they're "preferences" after all.

The main problem is whether I still have time to change the preference order or whether the date to change these preferences has already gone by. In the SATAC website, that date is listed as being the 7th of January, but as some universities have very specific requirements and timelines for preference changing their medical courses, I was asking to confirm.

Afaik you can change prefs anytime that the change system isn't locked, and usually it's only locked a week before an offer round (then re-opened soon after).

Note this is different to adding a pref to the list. Most deadlines for med were months ago, you can't enter one now if it's not in the list already.

Obviously it’s completely up to you, but personally I’d have Flinders unbonded above Adelaide bonded any day of the week. A three year bonded commitment is significant and can have a big impact on your career and life planning - so if you can land yourself a CSP in the same state for a course of the same length (Flinders and Adelaide will both take 6 years to complete), then I’d do it if I were you.
 
I realized that Flinders will give out offers on 15 Jan, anyone knows what exactly time it will be normally? and will it be direct to your emails or I need to go to satac a/c to check? Thanks

With LMG! Crow Cal ucatboy dotwingz doing such a great job I'm actually less busy now than in previous years.

Hey guys!
Do you think that a 99.15 ATAR (UES to 99.95) and a 91%ile UCAT would be guaranteed a flinders offer? Or is it still a bit on the borderline side of things..
