What is broadway?

It's either right next to UWA > https://broadwaypizza.com.au/
or > Broadway Direct Pathway to MD and DMD > Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences: The University of Western Australia

A side story for anyone interested. Three years ago when UWA started the change from MBBS to grad-entry MD a Med professor gave a presentation to my school, he said annual intake was 150 split into 50 assured-entry places to Y12s and 100 grad-entry places.

I noticed these numbers have now changed significantly. Annual cohort is around 200 (excluding int'ls) with 140 places for Y12s : 65 "high academic", 40 rural, 30 broadway plus several in Indigenous pathway. It's also possible, if copying the trend at other unis, maybe 20-30 places will be reserved for grads from the newly promoted UWA MedSc degree. That will leave just 30 MD places in future for general grad applicants.

So in combination with fremantle, there could be as little as 150 grad spots? Do you or anyone know how many people sit the GAMSAT in WA or just AUS?

Aus-wide there are around 1400 MD spots for grad entry. WA's population being ~1/9th I think 150 spots is a fair number.
I've seen an estimate somewhere a little more than 10,000 students do the GAMSAT at each sitting.

Remember not to share interview questions until second round has been completed. Not only will you disadvantage yourself but you will disadvantage all the first rounders as well

Inb4 MMI question. “Jack tells his friend doing 2nd round interview what questions he received. What are the issues here?”

I'm interstate, so will i get an interview offer in jan?? or were they out for interstate now as well and i missed out?

 

[A1]

So for year 13's who are interstate, do they get their interview offer now, or do they get their interview off in Jan?? because uwa dent offers are out now but i dont know if thats just for wa year 12s or domestic...

UWA asks WA students to provide predicted Atar but I don't think they do that with non-WA students. Since Atar counts substantially in interview offers it means they will only invite interstate applicants in Jan after their Atar is known.

ok I have a question how long does JCU interviews go for?

ok I have a question how long does JCU interviews go for?

They say to allow one hour for interviews in the FAQs part of the JCU invitation letter but the actual interview time appears to be around 30 minutes according to the following:

I couldn't find more recent info, this 2009 post says the interview was about 30 minutes. Allowing a little time for registration, briefing etc I'd say no more than an hour in total

Does anyone know if monash medicine looks at the vtac personal statement at all (i.e. is that considered when giving out offers)?

From this VTAC infopage > What’s a Personal Statement?
the personal statement is required for some courses but Monash Med is not one of these. So even if you provide one Monash Med won't read to not create inconsistency.

Yes, it is indeed 30mins strict. They will move on to the next question if you are moving too slow or have too much to say. The other 30mins, you relax in a room (with other interviewee) until one of the interviewer tells you that you can leave. Honestly the panel gets like 15mins break. So don't stress, its 30mins max
