Today is last interview day for Monash and confirmed there are interstate students invited. You can draw conclusions with regards to own situation.

I can second this, perhaps the vic applicants weren't as strong this year

3 days of interviews at Monash with 4 sessions per day. Visually I can estimate about 25 candidates per sessions. So my rough estimation = 25 x 4 x 3 = 300 to maybe 350 in total are invited for interview. Can anyone else who attended Monash interview comment on this ?

Actually in each session there was 4 groups of 9 applicants so 36 per session. Then there was 11 sessions total across the 3 days and I saw this when booking my time. So 36 x 11 means 396 interview offers were sent. This includes all VIC applicants, vce and ib, as well as all drl applicants and quite a few interstate non-drl so I'd say the chances are looking like 1 in 2 will get offers.

Actually I confirmed with one of the student volunteers that 600 people are interviewed altogether including interstate and she said 40% of people who are interviewed get a place.
There were more than three days of interviews, in addition to 4th 5th and 12th, i know someone who had one on the 9th, maybe ib applicants? (I don't really know.What 9th was for)
What does Pi say?

Not really Pi myself, but Monash stated on their interview and selection schedule that 9th was for Victorian IB as well as VCE applicants.

They don't do anything on the 12th so the 3 days are the 4th, 5th and 9th like it says on the website. And like I mentioned there was 11 sessions across the three days and 36 per session so for the groups I mentioned (vce, VIC ib, drl, some non-drl interstate) there is 396 applicants. For what you said the be true they would've had to offer 204 interstate non rural interview offers on top of the ones they've already given out with first round. So I would say they are actually only giving about 500 total.

Lol, sorry, don't know why I said 12th, its too early in Perth. But the student volunteer did say 600, whether she is misinformed or not I'm not sure, but she was there everyday of the interviews
 
2017 Monash interview and selection schedule seems to be suggesting that interstate non-drl candidates are not expected to be interviewed before the main (1st) round of offers but it turns out that they already have been and, possibly, still are today.
Are these candidates going to be (logically, they should) included in the main round of offers next week?
I do not have the complete info/statistics available but, judging by the few cases from not so remote past that I am aware of, usually interstaters (including one case of 99.95/100 candidate) were interviewed after the main round of offers and - if applicable - offered a place in the late Jan/early Feb (2nd round) round only.
Could someone shed more light on this pls, is the situation different this year?

Thanks (and to shadowduke) I had this confirmed today by Monash - they do require at least 50 in every section of the UMAT.

Hey Kenny, i just called Monash today and the lady said that from what she has heard from people in the faculty the 50 50 50 rule no longer applies. Why there's a difference in the information is anyones guess.
The example she gave to me was that some one with 49 70 70 is more competitive than someone with 50 50 50 and that the student with 49 is still eligible for medicine even though they got below 50 in a section
