Monash Monash Medicine: General Entry Discussion

[ronaldo7]

how many top up offers do you guys expect there to be, and how many have there been in past years? Also do these offers go to interstate, rural or local students? Also also, what percentage of the offers went out today?

Second round offers will go to interstate students who are yet to interview (and perhaps locals who got top up invites on the basis of actual ATAR). The vast majority of places will have been filled by today's round to locals and rural students. Top up offers are generally quite minimal for Monash due to its popularity and the fact that it is the only direct entry Med option in quite a large state.

Hi guys, this might be a silly question but how do you tell if your offer is CSP or not? Is school leaver the same thing as CSP?

If it doesn't specifically state "bonded" or anything else, then you received an unbonded offer. Congrats!

is anyone having trouble enrolling? I am waiting for an email with my Monash login details even though I did it a while ago?
EDIT: Problem solved, it was just in my junk of course

Apparently you can look at the course code for what you were offered and see if it corresponds to CSP, BMP, or ERC.

Has anyone been able to create a monash account? I went through the registration process and havent received any account details at all

Found it! Thank you

It takes a while for the email to come - I think mine took around 2 hours. Be aware that they said it can take up to 24 hours to send the email with all the account details to continue the registration process.

Ah ok, cheers

I didn't receive an interview offer as an interstate student to Monash. Does anyone know about Monash's cutoffs for this year?

It's just unexplainable how a 99.80 + 99%ile doesn't get a Monash interview.
I assume you did English + Chem and got 60+ raw marks in each?

 

[parmesan_12345]

That is correct sir/ma'am

I assume that they've already sent the interstate offers?

I'm waiting as well but my chances are pretty slim :/

 

[ucatboy]

Is there written proof they've come out yet? I don't see any reports on MSO (usually there are a couple), and there's a few 99.95 + 99%iles on here who should have reported an interview invite.

How many people from Victoria do you think will get a second round offer? Also, am I correct in assuming that in the second round, the places are divided between 2nd round Victorians and the interstate applicants?

I was wondering the same thing. It’s entirely possible they’ve not been released yet.

Haven't heard of a 2nd round Victorian top-up before, second round is usually reserved for interstate applicants. At this point I believe all but maybe 20-40 places are unaccounted for, which all go into the interstate pool, along with any first-round Victorian declines (very few, dunno why any Victorian would decline a Monash offer).

Does taking IB course put you at disadvantage in terms of not getting first-round interviews and Monash consider IB applicants as interstate?
Seeking some help regarding the advantages and disadvantages of IB course in terms of Monash Medicine entry.

To my knowledge, Monash just converts your IB to an ATAR according to whatever the official conversions are (45 = 99.95, 44 = 99.75, 43 = 99.55 etc.), just like how they convert NZ NCEA results to an ATAR. There is no advantage or disadvantage here, speaking from personal experience.
