for me i had to log into the booking portal from the adelaide admissions link and it worked - as in the booking portal link when you log in from Admissions @ Adelaide Sign In | Admissions at Adelaide instead of the one given in the email

yes exact same thing happened to me, for some reason the direct gobookings link wasn't working but i used the link they gave in the admissions portal and that worked!
 
I am trying to book both BMBBS and BDS. but after BMBBS booking, I used BDS username to login again to book BDS but the booking system still shows BMBBS?
just wondering, for BDS booking, would you see BDS instead of BMMBBS?

Anybody aware of around about when UQ will send med interview invites out? They said the interviews are scheduled for november... So i would've expected the interviews to be sent out during this week

I believe it’s GSW students only. I could be wrong but I haven’t heard of an interstate with an offer, let alone a non-gws with an offer

There was one non-GWS NSW on MSO but they had an insane WSU formula score.

This might be a silly question but I'm just genuinely curious- how does Adelaide manage to offer interviews to SA applicants all the way down to the 70th percentiles (just assuming from what I've seen on the interview invites page!) Do they give out a lot more interviews than the other unis or do they just have less SA applicants?

This year they mandated that 50% of School Leaver interview applicants would need to be from SA. Some of the earlier posts had rejections for 95th percentile from other states.

Suppose we consider 1.7 million people in SA and 29 million in Aus and New Zealand (info from google). SA only represents 6%~ of the overall population and if we say that this is approximately the spread for UCAT test takers (let's say 14k in total), then SA only has 800 or so ucat test takers. It's not really surprisingly that the cut off is so low.

This makes sense, thank you!!
 
Sorry not sure where else to ask this question, so here goes -
Does med adhere to the "one offer per system, i.e UAC, SATAC, etc" thing as well? Or is conducting interview for say UNSW and WSU possible, and can you get offers from both?

You can attend as many interviews as you want, but you are correct in saying you will only get ONE place offer per round per system (however some uni's have second round offers).
