For monash specifically, id say you should be comfortable with a 96+ and 70%+, but you still have to do good on the interview. With those results as well your most likely to get a second round flinders offer as well which doesnt require an interview. Id aim for 97+ and 80%ile to be in a comfortable position going into interviews for all unis. For WSU you will want to get a high VR cause they have an interstate quota for rural kids which can be quite high relative to other rural quotas. Obviously try your hardest though and go for 90%ile cause then youd be in a for a very good chance at most unis via the rural pathway.

Are you currently in Monash? And did you enter via the deans rural list? Do you know when applications open for that?
Thanks again
Yea i am currently at Monash, and i did enter via the deans rural list. i know VTAC applications open like 1st of August i think, and then deans rural list comes out later, just make sure that when you make your VTAC application that you upload evidence of being rural and then monash will contact you in october about applying for deans rural list.Are you currently in Monash? And did you enter via the deans rural list? Do you know when applications open for that?
Thanks again

Hi! I received an email from Monash a couple of days ago for the Deans Rural List. I submitted my application, but when do I have to submit the statutory declaration by? When do interview invites come out for Monash as well? I am categorized as an RA4 applicant from WA. Thank you in advance and please let me know ASAP!
Thanks

when does monash sent out interview invites? i did my application for the deans rural list but i wasn’t emailed again about any additional information for it so does that mean there was enough on vtac already? i’ve got interviews for everywhere else already however monash hasn’t sent me anything do u remember what time they release interview offers?

Hi! I am in a similar boat to you. I also submitted a Deans Rural List application, however, haven't heard back yet. I do not think that interview invites have been released yet from Monash for first round offers. According to their website, it says that only victorians and all Australian rurals from the country, will be considered for interviews set to take place on 7-9th December. Using this information, I would say the interview invites might be released late this week or sometime next week. We can only pray to slay!when does monash sent out interview invites? i did my application for the deans rural list but i wasn’t emailed again about any additional information for it so does that mean there was enough on vtac already? i’ve got interviews for everywhere else already however monash hasn’t sent me anything do u remember what time they release interview offers?
Thanks and hopefully that answers your query!

I received a Monash interview invite last night at 11:33 pm
thought I was dreaming lel, especially considering my UCAT was 2690 and I'm interstate. Their standards for rural kids must be pretty low . . .
