Overall Score divided by 3, because UNSW weighs the three sections equally.
Thank you.
Yes. It would be very odd for them to use both modalities here and email some but snail mail the others.The heat is on!!!
Am I correct in my assumption that the 'conventional' (via snail mail) partial distribution of interstate JMP interview notifications (a la previous years) is not applicable this year?
All via email only ? ... so it's done and dusted then
Thanks for helping answer this. There is also another reason: ACER used to give UMAT results as average of the three sections (like GAMSAT) and UNSW continues to refer to UMAT scores in this fashion. Next time I update the table will change to Overall score for ease of reading.
This question needs a little elaboration. Mentioning a cutoff score is meaningful when it's a single deciding factor, like S1 for JMP. Where it's a combination of ATAR+UMAT, a 99.8 will most likely get an interview with 170 UMAT but a 98.0 won't with 180. No simple answer which is the cutoff.
ATAR & UMAT numbers are different denominations cannot be totaled for comparison, UNSW probably uses the z-score method ie. [z(ATAR) + z(UMAT)] to rank for interview offers. This link gives a simple explanation > An explanation of z-scores (standardized values)

Sorry mana, when you say add about "5-6" raw points, are you referring to adding 5 as in (os+5)/3 or (os/3)+5?
Mana probably meant adding 5 to the Overall score not the /3 average.
But seeing that JMP S1 cutoff has not gone up from last year I hope that's the case at UNSW too.
Perhaps because it's not opened yet??... lol

I assumed they would let us in so we can check out how it looks like beforehand and then actually allow bookings to be made on the dates.

i thought that might be case so i emailed UWS and received a this reply: "please wait until the AIBS is enabled", so no the site won't be accessible until the time we can book
