Yes. And JCU just give you a heads up, they don’t provide you with a link to accept an offer so even people who get JCU phone calls still, in essence, get a single QTAC offer.

I think what youre saying coincidences with what the admissions officer says. Thanks LMG! Also another piece of info, JMP doesnt tell you your position on the ranking list.
You probably got the Adelaide offer cause your adjusted atar is 99.95
Tbh, given interviews haven’t even been finialised yet, I very much doubt there even IS a ranking list at this stage. In some instances there may be (rural admissions, for example, given all rural interviews have been run), but it’d be impossible to tell somewhere where they are on a waitlist when X amount of people haven’t even been interviewed yet. If that makes sense.
Got an offer to where? And what rank? If you’re referring to JMP, they only use interview and PQA to rank applicants who get to that stage and we have no idea of those scores and are never likely to.
That's nice of you but not much chance since ATAR is worth the same as the interview, and my interview was shocking to say the least...
That's for helping me figure out my SATAC mess

Maybe there were LOTS of “shocking” interviews, and yours was actually a little less shocking than the others?!
My JMP interview was shocking and I still scraped an offer (bonded and to my least preferred location!).
Or maybe your interview was SO shocking it was actually good?
Only tomorrow will tell

Haha LMG! trying to make me feel better! I think a lot of med applicants/ med students (in your case) are incredibly modest and downplay their achievements. I'm not one of them!
In all honesty, heaps of awkward pauses, didn't finish the 1st scenario, interviewers suddenly stopped smiling at some points of my interview, missed the key points, talked too fast when I did speak... not going to go on! We'll see tomorrow...
Me too omg!! Thought I was the only one... What was your actual ATAR if you don't mind saying + what was the order of your SATAC preferences? And what bonus did you have?

WSU MBBS II
gnaf don't write yourself off just yet. I talk faster than a gilmore girl, completely forgot to slow myself down in my WSU interview and somehow they still heard enough of what I said to offer me a place. I really thought I bombed and was counting on JMP, but when offers came out I was pleasantly surprised.
Good luck tomorrow, at least you don't have to wait much longer in any case.

Thanks for sharing that, always thought talking super fast would rule me out immediately! Heaps of other things I could've done better, but now I'll head off and watch some gilmore girls
i got 99.70.. adelaide was my first preference
This was exactly me at JMP. Without giving too many details away, there was even one question where I kind of stared blankly at the interviewer and had a mini internal breakdown because I had no idea what to say!! We moved onto the next question because time ran out! HAHAHA! Trust me, I'm not downplaying anything! I think I killed it at WSU, there was nothing I would have changed, but JMP felt awkward and awful from start to finish
Maybe you got Adelaide
Cookie mentioned this the other day (they couldn't create a Flinders account either but be able to get Flinders) and like you once again, they have Adel as their first preferenceWhat bonus points did you have? Individual or school-based or something else?

Literally my experience at Adelaide, thanks for the reassurance LMG! even though you might be super modest!
I forgot to add that I tried to get straight into answering the question for some of the questions... which meant that I spoke for a bit, blinked when I realised I couldn't go on and just smiled awkwardly (like this heh) 
Yes the deferred spot goes to the next eligible applicant.
(Otoh we believe UQ doesn't do this because they have a grad-entry intake for the same cohort in 3 years time, deferred/declined spots are transferred to that pool)
