Med and Dent - 2019 Entry (Offers)

Hi, can anyone tell me how many interview offers in total does the University of Sydney give out for their Med and Dent courses respectively? I know they take only 30 students in. - for double degree undergrad course.
I am wondering whether it is worth going to as I have already received an offer of place at Flinders.

ALSO if i accept my offer, not enrol, or enrol as well at flinders, can I still sit interviews for other universities, or wait till the other offers come around? Or will I be committed and eligible any longer? (Someone told me that I just can't sit classes but other than that unis shouldt have any problem, is that correct?)

ALSO does flinders course have an interview or grades cut off after the first 2 years of bachelors of clinical science, or is it an offer directly for the 6 years?
Any advice is welcome:)

Did you see my reply to your post with the same question earlier today? General Interview Discussion 2018

If you accept a Flinders offer you can still attend other interviews. However, you’ll need to un-enrol from any courses that you aren’t going ahead with prior to the census date, otherwise you will need to pay for them.

There is no interview to get into the MD if you’re in the provisional pathway. I don’t believe you need to maintain any GPA but FlyingAce should be able to confirm / correct me if you do.

ETA: Correction - as per Logic you need to maintain a 5.0 GPA in the 2 year undergrad to progress to the MD.

There is a minimum requirement of maintaining a 5.0 GPA for the first 2 years to progress to the MD. "Progression to the Doctor of Medicine component of the double degrees program is subject to a student passing all topics and gaining a Grade Point Average of 5 or better in the Bachelor of Clinical Sciences component."

Does anyone know if you don’t get UQ now is it possible to get it in later offer rounds since some offers will be declined?

Assuming you’re referring to provisional entry med, we believe that any remaining spots will go to graduate entry students in 3 years time rather than UQ making second round offers, unfortunately. Last year there was a second round offer to a rural student but I’m inclined to think this was more due to UQ not filling their rural quota rather than them making offical second round offers.
