JCU JCU Medicine: Interview Discussion

[ikanovica]

Hey, I'm a non-rural, non-standard applicant with my first sem GPA as 6.75. Do I have a chance of getting a November interview?

I'd presume with only 1 semester under your belt they'll most likely wait till second round offers

Your GPA is competitive, but there is so much emphasis on the written application that it really is impossible to say. We’ve seen people with GPA 7.00 and ATAR 99.95 miss out.

ETA: and yes, as mentioned above, it’s possible they’ll wait til you have 1FTE results available.

Yes me too. I was just wondering when is the first and last interview date because the website just gives a calendar thing and no specific dates...

Does anyone have any recommendations on the best times? I thought mid morning would be okay, is it better to be first?

 

[1234med]

For Curtin and Western Aus, can we choose the interview time like for JCU?

[lily19873]

How long is the interview for JCU? Is it a panel or MMI?
Thanks

 

[Rub0ls]

Should I be worried if I still haven't recieved an email? Is there a chance they haven't all been sent out yet?

 

[Kinetica]

According to another page, someone has contacted JCU and confirmed all round 1 offers have been emailed.

 

[Canuckoz01]

Hi ALL
Second round offers are on 4 jan, Any idea what the interview dates are for second round offers?
My application was very strong, so probably my predicted ATAR messed up the invite.

We had this exact problem last year with a couple of applicants. Not sure what the outcome was but unfortunately I don't think it could be resolved since by the time IB results came out JCU interviews were all over.

Thanks A1
I have just called JCU. The lady who answered said she will call me back as she was unsure and didn't have an answer. Fingers crossed!

Unfortunately - not very helpful- she called back and said thats the best they can do. They can access results only up to that point.
This is so unfair :
- Predicted ATAR used for interview invites
-Actual ATAR for admission offers

And yet , IB students lose out on second round invites just because their results are later.
How is this fair if the predicted score is way out of whack.
And our school does not even tell us what the predicted score is.. so how in the world will we know ?
Can I complain about this anywhere.. Will anyone listen?
