Have interview offers come out yet for monash interstate non-rural school-leavers? I noticed the interview dates are coming up next week...

Hi student24, thank you for responding.

I have clicked the enrol button and my units say 'PENDING ENROLLED'. However, I still received the ERROR notice.
Are you enrolled in 2 units?

YES, this is the exact problem I'm having. I think it's an error on their end

Hope this is the right thread
Does anyone know if any scholarship offers for Year 12 leavers have come out yet?

As DrLMG mentioned I didn't include Monash due to their high cutoffs for interstate applicants. Now having seen two posted invites 99.75 + 96%ile this year we can add Monash for your son. Looks like with online interviews Monash has opened up more slots for interstate. Best of luck to him whichever way he chooses.

Was wondering if monash high requirements for interstate is still applicable to rurals? I'm a mm5/ra3 rural applicant, 98.25 atar from QLD. I received a JCU offer this year but I have chosen to defer for a year, as financially it's more viable this way, as well as other personal considerations and the fact I'm still guaranteed a place in a medical program either way. I was wondering on my odds of entry to monash/JMP next year if I achieve a 3k+ UCAT, as a gap year RA3/MM5 applicant? Thanks

 

[Bossin31]

Also how can we confirm we accepted the Monash offer?

I think it’s once we’re enrolled and get the code starting with U to our Monash email address

Monash high requirements are for interstate non-rural. Rural Vic or non-Vic are invited to the same interview round, we believe they have the same requirements.

RA3 98.25 3000+ UCAT you will have excellent chances. Even 2900+ would give you decent chances. Good luck.

Hi, on the VTAC website it says that there are 4 offer rounds, with the last one being on Feb 20. Based on past years, around after how many offer rounds do they fill up all interstate places, considering a lot of them reject it since they have the scores to secure an offer at their respective state. I’ve got an offer in my home state but would prefer Monash over it, it’s just that the course in my home state starts before mid-Feb so I’m worried as to whether I might end up already starting the course before I get an offer from Monash and that there are consequences from pulling out from a degree.

Does the VTAC website say Monash Med is in all these 4 rounds?

The TACs often have a dozen of offer rounds. Med schools typically use only two of them. If there are further delines after their 2nd round these are given out as top-ups on individual basis, not in a formal round.

So you can well receive a top-up offer after you have started your mid-Feb course, but withdrawing from this course causes no consequences since it's before the course's census date.

does anyone know why Monash interview requirements for interstate seem to have gone lower this year? was not expecting an interview with 96th percentile ucat

What are the requirements like for non rural interstate SEAS applicants? They seem to have a quota for SEAS students and my thoughts are that the VIC students will have filled the majority up in first round, leaving very few spots for interstate/overseas second round.

Hi all,
Just curious as to any advice with preferencing between Monash CSP Rural School Leaver entry (clinical training in Year 3, 4, and part of year 5 all in regional or rural Victoria) vs Monash CSP Bonded place?

Cheers.

What you are calling the Rural School Leaver entry is actually called the Extended Rural Cohort (ERC for short). The ERC has clinical training in rural areas (although they do have a small amount in metro areas), BMP has normal clinical training. After graduating, BMP has to spend 3 years practicing in rural areas (although it doesn't have to be all at once and they have a while to do this), while ERC has no requirement after graduating.

I received an unbonded non-ERC offer, but I preferenced ERC second, and BMP third. This is because doing placements in rural areas can expose you to different working environments, and doesn't make you any less likely to get an internship in a metro area than non-ERC graduates. I also didn't want to have to practice in a rural area after graduation, but wanted to be able to make that choice myself instead.

Whichever you put above the other will be based on your preferences, but whichever you pick you'll be spending around 3 years in a rural area, just for one option while doing clinical placements in school, and the other practicing after graduation.

Interstate at Monash is super competitive. Most people getting in from interstate that are non-rural have a UCAT of 98%+ and a selection rank of 99.90+ (this info is based on what I've read in MSO). Also Monash does not have a quota for SEAS students, SEAS just increases students' selection rank.

Same boat, 99.8 + 3170 (low 97). Got a flat out rejection from UNSW

Did you get Monash jintei ?

If not that's very unusual for a Vic 99.80 + 3170. With a high place ratio and equal weightings I thought that near-top ATAR+UCAT combo wouldn't need much from the MMI.

Turns out it was a mistake, as I emailed Monash Med admissions; they have confirmed that with an international overseas y12 qualification I would be eligible for February offer round only.
I was invited due to a filtering of addresses (which, I live in melbourne yes).

Let's wait till Feb 1.

Hey, thanks heaps for the reply. Was also wondering whether RA3 gives an advantage over RA2? Or if it's all considered the same. As well as this, does the dean's rural list provide advantages over just being rural, or is it the system to prove that you ARE rural?

Some unis definitely do ‘rank’ degree of rurality (JCU, UTAS, UNSW) and some definitely don’t (JMP, JPM, etc), so this is a reasonable question but I’m not actually sure what the Monash policy is. From observing admissions for ~7 years, my guess is Monash don’t, but someone may be able to clarify.

Dean's Rural List is basically just to prove that you're rural and boosts your chances of getting an offer. No idea if Monash ranks rurality but if you called them they'd probably be able to tell you.

If I don't apply for the dean's rural list, then I don't receive rural bonuses, right?

I see. On top of RA3/98.25 ATAR, I live in an area that is in the bottom 25% of socioeconomic status in Australia. Would I receive any bonuses for this as well? Furthermore, I know this is unrelated to the Monash thread, but are my chances at UNSW much good? What sort of UCAT would I be looking at to be competitive. Thanks - and if this is cluttering up the thread with unrelated stuff, please let me know (idk proper etiquette on this forum). If I could DM you somehow (if you're okay with that), that would be great since I have a lot of questions for admissions hahaha
