Uh, so that it can differentiate between applicants and rank them in order of 1 to ~700.

This is useful in the following, rather common scenario:

One person declines an offer, so the next person on the merit list is offered a place. However, there are not one, but three people with the same score for UMAT and who scored the same overall in ATAR and/or interview. Now the uni has a choice here - either it can just not offer that place to any of the three people, or it can wait for two more people to decline and then offer those three people a spot, or it can over-offer by two places.

However, given some new information from ACER in regards to their scores and how one person actually got slightly higher than the other two by less than a whole mark in total, the uni is then able to just offer that person the place.

I was only speculating a hypothetical case of your total score having been rounded up vs Eddie's rounded down from 190+.
But I just checked back Eddie did earlier say his total score = 189 so that isn't the case. Let's hope UAdel will give you a favourable answer.

Is 93% really the cut off. I'm a local SA student with 95% but didn't get an interview for Med. any thoughts as to why??? I'm a bit confused...thought 95% would serve me well esp. as a SA student.

Yeah exactly so either way I was very close and will probs get a second round offer with a good atar

Yes. Also should point out that I got an interview for dentistry

Oh right, that's consistent with everything else posted here then - these 96%ile students are reporting no interview for med.

Not only close but definitely higher than Eddie's, since at worst your total is 189.5 and at best his is 189.4
I would strongly highlight this fact to Beverley's attention.
