Anyone gotten a JCU interview offer? I haven't yet gotten one. Do they all come out on the same day, or do they take some time?

did you get an offer for interview from JCU Anirudh what was your atar.

Hey guys, does anyone know what the medical interview pass rate for Chancellor's Scholars are at UniMelb? The interview is now in 3rd year which is slightly distressing. Thanks!

Not sure, but anecdotally, more people fail the MMI in third year than if they did it in first year (apparently something to do with the whole ATAR prestige not being relevant by the time 3rd year comes around). I assume Melb Uni changed the interview process because too many people were getting into grad med via Chancellors / academic standards were dropping once accepted into Chancellors.

Does anyone know if the DRL guys for Monash Medicine received an interview offer? The website says 'between 16 December 2016'.

"between 16 Dec" doesn't make sense by itself I think it's a typo. Since DRL interview dates 4/5/9 Jan are the same as for VCE applicants offers will likely come out same time - Week commencing 19 December 2016.

Good chance of an interview offer! I did get one with similar scores as you last year as an interstate school leaver.

You're almost sure to get an interview offer, and if it goes well, a good chance of getting a place

Hey guys,
Was wondering if anyone knew when the second-round interview offers for UNSW are usually sent out (or if they have already been sent out).

Thanks

Few days after atar comes out- think it was like that last year?

Was wondering if anyone knew when the second-round interview offers for UNSW are usually sent out (or if they have already been sent out).

Webpage says Late Dec, I think must be sometime this week as next week would be too close to interview dates 4-5 Jan, not enough time for applicants to prepare.

On that note, anyone below these ATAR/UMAT scores but got interview with UNSW (or vice versa) please let us know to update the table
99.95 / 162 -- 99.50 / 170
99.00 / 178 -- 98.00 / 190
97.00 / 200 -- 96.00 / 210

Thanks

How many people are invited for 2nd round interviews at UNSW

How many people are invited for 2nd round interviews at UNSW

Not a preset number, it's whatever number of NSW applicants whose predicted ATAR (or lack of) didn't make the cutoff at 1st round but actual ATAR now does.

Do universities have a quota for interstate applicants? If not, how are they be able to issue first round offers?

UNSW shutdown also starts at 5pm tomorrow afternoon. The Med School can work different days of course..... but they will be there by themselves.

It's technically not a quota. It's a number of places that is set aside for future rounds, which are available to interstates as well as in-state applicants. This number is calculated each year very carefully and cautiously, based on current supply and demand and previous cohorts. When the second round offers come out, all the students who scored higher than the lowest ranking person from the first round offers will receive a place. Once all of these people who scored higher than the lowest ranking person from the first round offers get an offer, the rest of the candidates are then ranked in a single pool of applicants (not discriminating between first and second round interviews) and then offers are made down this merit list until there are no more spots left.

Essentially, the end result is that those who interview in late interview rounds have the same opportunity of getting a place as those in early interview rounds.

JMP said they had sent out 700 interview offers(both nsw +interstate). But UNSW said they sent out around 500 first round offers. Based on this, I think there will be around 150-200 2nd round offers for interstate+NSW.

I haven't seen any Monash people (who got interview offers) posting their UMAT, ATAR score etc.

But UNSW said they sent out around 500 first round offers.

I thought around 500 was for all three rounds at UNSW?

Presuming we are talking about interview offers, you'll find that certainly there are a lot more than 500 interview offers over all three rounds at UNSW - they are one of the largest medical schools in the country. I would think that closer to 800 people are interviewed in total.

That's because they haven't released any yet.

As soon as the first Monash interview offer is posted on here, we will announce it on the Facebook page, just like we have for every other university's interviews.
