If you mean how Monash has around 200 places for med then yes. 30 of those 200 is this ERC thing, around 30% (I think?) are bonded and the rest are CSP.

That really depends a lot. Do you have SEAS? Are you rural or non-rural, indigenous etc. Also, ATAR is only 1/3 of the equation, if you have a good UCAT and interview it will compensate for lower ATAR

i have SEAS, rural RA2 and ucat 79th percentile. i believe i did average in the interview. I also have monash guarantee
 
No point waiting for a mod to answer. We may be good, but we aren’t ‘accurately predict a candidate’s interview performance relative to the ~500 other people who were interviewed’ good!! The OP will just have to wait for VTAC like everyone else now.

Wait I've just seen something - is it actually 500 people interviewed?

Student profile

Monash is committed to admissions transparency. View a report on students who enrolled in 2017, showing their education background and work experience.
www.monash.edu www.monash.edu

It states here that 242 students are school leavers for medicine? No way the interview pass rate is around 50% right???

OMG. I knew I shouldn’t have plucked a number outta nowhere! Cue freak out ;)

I think it’s closer to 3/1 for Monash.

I honestly don’t think that’s accurate. UAdel interview ~800 and they have the most for undergrad, from memory.

ETA: Universities are well known for exaggerating numbers in promo material like that because it makes them sound more desirable and their successful candidates more ‘special’. For example, the unis that say ‘4000 applicants for medicine’ in their promo material but fail to mention a HUGE portion of those will never be close to being eligible, let alone getting an interview (and even moreso an offer). It’s a meaningless number, but gets flaunted in promo material a lot.

Ahh I think I may have cracked the case! The 1000 may be for all applicants including international since there are 96 internaitonal students so around 300 of those spots may be for those ppl
