Everyone starts from year 1. The only exception is if you are transferring from one medical program to another (which is only permitted under extraordinary circumstances and is not the case here).Hi, a quick question, if I get into UNSW or JCU will I start at the beginning of the 6-year program or can I get into the second year (currently studying medical science) I'm sorry if this was answered elsewhere but please answer it again. Thankyou

IIRC UNSW lets their medsci graduates skip 1st year.
The UNSW course is divided into 3 phases of two years each. Lateral entry students do the non-ILP part of Phase 2 (i.e. it's not called 3rd or 4th year Med) then proceed to Phase 3. See the Year 5-6-7 in this pdfAlthough i’m a bit confused because I thought 4th year UNSW was the research year?
Hey everyone.
I'm so sorry if this has been mentioned before but I just wanted to confirm this. When converting a numerical mark to a value on the 1-7 scale, is your GPA based off the uni (their grading system) you come from or the uni you are applying to? For e.g, I'm from UniMelb where a 80+ is considered a HD and thus a 7 but let's say that I am applying to a uni where a 85+ is considered a HD (and thus a 7) instead. And let's say I have an 80 %, would that be a 7 (based off the uni I'm coming from) or a 6 ( based off the uni I'm applying to, not my own)?
I hope this makes sense.

For the TACs/undergrad schools the letter grades take precedence over the marks, so a HD is worth 7 whether or not it also shows 81 or 86 marks. I don't think there exist any uni transcipts without letter grades to ask what if.But if the number is there, that may not be the case.
Sorry I just wanted to double, double confirm what you said!If the exempted unit is not counted you will have completed only 0.875 FTE year
- JMP: Less than 1 FTE is not considered as non-standard, it'll count on your ATAR being better than the 94.3 hurdle
- WSU: If your ATAR is 95.5+ you will be eligible regardless of your GPA; otherwise you need GPA 6.5 instead of 6.1 for 1+ FTE
- UNSW: Your GPA will be converted to an ATAR equivalent then combined with your actual ATAR. Problem with less than 1 FTE is GPA will be converted to a much lower value versus 1+ FTE.
- JCU: No idea, sorry.
Nup I won't get any credit if I drop current degree now.Are you going to get any credit for the courses you did in sem 1? I believe your EFSTL is based off the amount of courses on your transcript. Luckily both WSU and JMP are hurdle schools so beyond meeting the minimum requirements, academic results dont matter
For WSU - you have met the ATAR hurdle anyways so your university grades are irrelevant
For JMP - if you dont have 8 courses by the end of 2nd semester on your transcript your ATAR will be used (which is good cause yours meets the hurdle)
Honestly thank you dotwingz and A1 and everyone else on this forum! You don't understand how happy I felt hearing thisSchool leavers are generally defined as people completing a Year 12 program the time of their application.
But JMP and WSU dont discrimnate against non school leavers so it doesnt even matter

Hmmm Im not the best person for this but if you want an idea on what scores you need for UCAT and GAMSAT (not sure what WAM is), you should look at the offer page and interview page on MSO to have a look at the scores people got for the UCAT and GAMSAT.Alright, I just need a second on this:
So I'm in my Second Year of the current degree (B Vis Sci/ M Clinc Optom) and I'm trying to transfer into med. Pretty much, atar was trash cause of schooling (95). And current WAM we looking at is 80. What med school would I be able to apply to and do I (hahha) hold any chance into getting into med. I am thinking of sitting the gamsat, so that way I can fix up my WAM. But I will give a shot of the UCAT this year. So what percentile should I be aiming for, for the UCAT. And similarly, for the GAMSAT? Ok, I do agree that I was lazy and that I shouldve put more work into Uni but man after HSC havent been motivated enough. Anyhow, what should I primarily improve, for me to kinda guarantee myself an interview. Should I be focusing more on UCAT/GAMSAT or fixing up my WAM (both obviously).
