JCU JCU Medicine: General Entry Discussion

Can I put my voluntary experience in a dental clinic for medical application or would that show a conflict of interest between medicine and dentistry to the marker?
 
Does anyone know why I got an email from JCU saying that applications close 'today' on the 30th of September? What does that mean LMAO
 
has people's entry requirement status changed to satisfied? what does this meannn
Mine is still pending overall, with the english and application form sections satisfied. The rest of the sections say 'processing of this information has not commenced'
 
Hey guys, does anyone knows how much your GPA/ATAR contributes overall for JCU Medicine? TIA
Unfortunately they don't publish this information so we have no idea. We have seen 99.95s and 7.00s miss out on even an interview previously so whatever weighting it is can't compensate for a sub-competitive written application is the short story.

I’m assuming your GPA/ATAR probably comes into consideration once you’ve done the interview. (Speculating at this point 🤣)

No, it plays a role in determining interview invite also which is why there are two rounds of invites sent out.
 
Could you please explain, the purpose of two interview offer rounds? Is the December interview offers for non-school leavers and January offers for school leavers?

TIA 🙏🏽

One is based on known or predicted academic results and the other on actual. So, for example, a first year uni student with only one confirmed semester result by the time interview invites are processed is likely to miss out on the basis of a non-competitive GPA when scaled for 0.5FTE, but is possibly more competitive once their 1FTE GPA is confirmed. There is no penalty to receiving a 'second round' interview invite.

Does that mean by default no school leaver will qualify for 1st round interviews considering their last sem results wouldn’t be out until late Nov?

No. Some schools issue predicted ATAR forms when requested. Note I said “known or predicted” in my original reply.
