Griffith Griffith Dentistry: Admissions General Discussion

This is the UAC ATAR profile for this January round of offers
https://www.uac.edu.au/assets/documents/atar/ATAR-profiles-Jan_Rd1-2018-19.pdf

It shows the statistics of all the UAC offers on January 11th including Griffith Dentistry.

The documents shows <5 (so obviously 4 or less) got an offer through UAC which means that the huge majority of people who will get an offer ONLY applied to QTAC.
Since we already have 2 people on this thread, there's probably at most 2 more who got a Griffith dental offer through UAC.

Out of these 4 people, the lowest adjusted ATAR was 99.8!!! (this may or may not necessarily be the cutoff for QTAC since it's the lowest score amongst the 4 successful people on UAC. )

nirav and mzho got a GPA of 7 (which should equate to 99.95) so it's not one of them.

Assuming 6.5 = 99.00 and 7.0 = 99.95, an ATAR of 99.8 should equate to 6.88 (which will more than likely be 6.875 rounded up).

So while a sample size of 4 or less is too small to conclude conclusively, I think it can be somewhat deduced that a GPA of 6.875 is perhaps safe for entry??? We'll have to wait and see...

Actually after reading the document, the cutoffs are for Year 12 candidates only. So some of the things written above may not be applicable.

Nevertheless either 1,2,3 or 4 school leavers applying on UAC got accepted and the lowest score amongst themself/themselves is 99.8

Thank you . I know. You and Crow and everyone was so motivational and always positive.
My apologies as I was very skeptical as after beentrying for past 5 years and near misses for last two years, I wanted to get the offer before I could believe anything.
