What is the WSU cutoff for GWS applicants so far?
Using the new improved formula 55%VR + 5%DM + 10%QR + 30%AR it's currently 723.0 for GWS.
Is there a chance your GWS eligibility wasn’t accepted? I’m not sure about the processes regarding that. If it was and your SJT was over 500 maybe hit up WSU admissions?Oh wow really? With that formula my total is 736. I am a GWS applicant, but didn't receive any interview offers yet

Yeah, I am very much in the GWS area.... So I was expecting to receive an interview with my scaled score. My SJT was also 640. What is the best way to contact them?
I would probably contact both the SoM and the Admissions department via email tonight or over the weekend with evidence of your UCAT score, following that I would make sure I called them as soon as business opens on Monday the earlier you get onto this the better as they should be able to slip you into one of their top-up positions (that’s if we have the correct criteria for their invites on our end
)
Have a read of this post > JPM - WSU/CSU JPM: UCAT Section Weighting Discussion and QuestionsOh wow really? With that formula my total is 736. I am a GWS applicant, but didn't receive any interview offers yet
By the old formula your 715.6 was below the known lowest 721, but the old formula doesn't explain why a 729 didn't get an invite.
By the new formula (to explain the 729) it then doesn't explain your case. Only WSU knows the answer unfortunately.
The "729" was the only one I noticed & worked on, I don't think there were more on MSO but there could be outside of MSO.
This was the "729" case > JPM - WSU/CSU JPM: UCAT Section Weighting Discussion and Questions
Non-rural non-GWS now involves NSW vs non-NSW, it's too involved to work out the cutoffs considering we're not confident of the old or new formula.

My interview host is UNE, even though UON was my preferred interview location. Im a tertiary student in NSW and I'm applying through rural. Is that suppose to mean mu UCAT score was lower than the other applicants who preferred UON?
In the exact same position except non-rural. My UCAT score was 3210 (98th percentile), which I would definitely say most likely wouldn't have been the reason for having UNE as my host university.

I asked them, and they said they just divvy them up and it has nothing to do with your final study location

Hi guys, in the UQ interviews, is the MMI all about scenarios etc or are there personal experience type questions as well?
Assume a student does about average in all of their interviews, and their prereq GPA/ATAR + UCAT is also average for all those who have gotten an interview.
If they receive about 7 interviews (or maybe even more, say Monash, UQ, JCU, UNSW, JMP, WSU/CSU and UAdel), wouldn't they more or less be guaranteed an offer at least in 1 of those places?
My thinking behind this is that, most uni's have ≈ 1/4 success rate so in being smack average it should be somewhat of a guarantee, alongside the fact that 'most' of the people who get an interview belong to a very similar group. Its not like the people getting a UNSW interview will be drastically different from those getting JMP or WSU ones for example, sure there are outliers who would 'add' to this common pool, but it should be relatively consistent. Hope that makes sense, but please someone correct me on this thinking if I'm wrong.
Thanks!
