Based of my UCAT and ranking, I would assume you are hovering around my ranking too (20-30 ish). But do call tomorrow to confirm. I do not know the likelihood of getting an offer though from this position. Paging the Flinders specialist LeSpicyGinger .
 
I cannot really say at this point as I haven’t been in the admissions office lately. The advice provided by the admissions team is the most accurate in terms of their experience with success rates at this stage so I would recommend asking them your chances.
 
Is it possible to sit Gamsat after the clinical sciences degree and apply elsewhere, without losing the existing offer?

For Flinders I believe it is not possible.
Flinders won't graduate you at end of year2 with a Bachelor degree, without which you can't apply for graduate entry at other GAMSAT schools.

The BClinSc+MD course structure is actually ClinSc Y1 > Y2 > (MD Y1 aka ClinSc Y3) > MD Y2 ...
So to get a Bachelor degree you need to (a) apply for an exit degree, (b) complete 3rd year ClinSc, (c) the exit kicks you out of MD Y2.

You can still do the UCAT again and apply for UCAT schools on the basis of GPA and UCAT (JMP and UNSW off the two of my head). I know a person that has tried to unsuccessfully.

Does that mean the latest I can apply for the exit degree is at the end of Year 2? Or can I still progress into the MD and then let them know I want to exit in Year 3 (MD Year 1)?

I don’t believe that’s how it works. The earliest you can quit with the exit degree is at the end MD1, 3 years into the degree. If you quit earlier, you will not receive any official qualification. The earliest you can apply is during MD1.

Edited for clarity.

I saw someone on the r/ucat discord with a 3040 (99.75 + UES) got it today, you'll probably get it on the next top up round :D

Complete random curveball, but do you know what the parking is like at Flinders? Are the spots super filled? Do you have to pay for it and are there free spots?

Sounds suspiciously like you've got an offer lol. Parking is okay at Flinders. Its about $250 a year and all the free spots are next to the hospital which is like a 20 min walk from the main campus and usually fills up anyway. In the mornings, spots fill up fully around 10am in the prime locations and start being available again around lunch time. In Clinsci anyway, you're not on campus much so you don't have to deal with parking too much.
 
Hi all, new here,

Just wanted any advice please regarding my chances for flinders uni. I have raw atar of 99.6 (99.95 with ues) and low ucat of 2840 (81%). After 2nd round i was roughly 60 to 80 on waiting list. Thanks.
