There are approximately 12-20 places for non-standard in my understanding but I could be wrong.

Thanks Rambok! You don't happen to know roughly how many non-standards are interviewed each year, do you?

Hi, does anyone know if placing JCU as number 2 on QTAC has any influence on being offered a place in Medicine for 2016.

Depends on what number 1 is.
Example if #1 is Arts at UQ you'll get that first & locked out of JCU Med.

What I was thinking is that if you had another med course as number one and missed out on it does that in any way reduce your chance of being offered a JCU place if JCU is your number 2 preference on QTAC

Nah, not at all
I heard it was 20-30 places for non-standard applicants but I could be wrong.

Will be updating it tomorrow/tonight. Have only just returned from the Solomon Islands so haven't had a chance!
Working on it tonight - will post a thread tomorrow morning! In the meantime this thread is very much still applicable to this years interview intake unless things change drastically.

With answers to these questions in general, how long would you suggest spending on one question (eg. What makes you a good candidate for this course?) Cause potentially you could really ramble on and on about it. Like 3 or 4 sentences, 5 minutes?? I really have no clue
Also on that topic, would we be allowed to bring a watch?
I've also heard from a friend (who isnt interested in med or dent) that some interviews allow you to bring in a page of notes. I doubt this would be allowed at JCU but though I'd ask just in case if this IS allowed by any chance?

Definitely no notes. And it's up to you how long you go on. Make sure it's interesting though.
