Post-UCAT Discussion 2022

[MedSchool 2023]

Hi, Will 3410 ucat be good enough for Sydney Uni and is it true that student must get 99.95 ATAR. Can someone clarify please. Thanks

Is this for the University of Sydney? If so, as a non-rural student, I would say you would need 99.95, I think. I am not too sure, but I think that is what is mentioned on their website.

Hope that helps

Oh ok. If their video says 99.55, then I think you should go for that. Once again, I am not too sure, so it would be best for someone else to answer your question.

Thanks!

Assuming you’re talking about USyd Med; I’m pretty sure you need 99.95 ATAR unless you qualify for E12, in which case it drops to 99.50, which is where you’d be seeing the 99.55 ATARs coming from.

Hi LMG!

Regarding the E12 scheme, would it also be applicable for interstate students like extremely rural students from WA? Would the ATAR have to be 99.55 or does it often depend, so it could even be above 98?

Thanks in advance!!!!

No idea about states, but I think it just drops to ~99.50, no lower.

Any further questions should go in the appropriate thread as they are off topic for this UCAT-based one: USyd - USyd Medicine: E12 Entry Questions and Discussion

Where did you find the Monash University info in this if you don't mind me asking, because I am having trouble finding it.

Thanks in Advance!!!!

Hey sorry, I couldn't find any information on that there. But you should ask A1? As it was referred to me by A1.

For the interview one, it’s not collated (for Monash) but the info is there in the posts if you do some digging.

For the offer thread; did you scroll down to Monash? It’s all listed…

Hi guys, I got around 3000-3200 for my mocks and I got 2980 in the real UCAT. I'm pretty disappointed but do you think I have a chance at unsw interview at all? Even with a 99.95 atar?

I see in the Collated data couple of UNSW interview invites last year with 88-90%ile (less than 2980). They had mid-98/99 ATAR but with EAS that presumably boosted them to 99.95.

Hey, I need some decision making syllogisms help. I have heard that like the definition of some has changed from at least one but not all to more than all but not all ( greater than 1 to 99%). However, like on the official website and some learning platforms I don't think this has been updated. So, I just want to know if the premise said ; "some cats are black" and if the question stem says "some cats are not black", would the answer be yes or no? I am hearing such mixed responses and this is just getting me more confused. Also, I don't know if this was the best place to ask this, please direct me if this should be posted somewhere else.

In syllogism some cats are black is valid even when all cats are black, therefore the "some cats are not black" cannot be deduced/proved.

Otoh Pearson's DM is more in the English language sense than strict syllogism. If all cats are black the premise would say All, since it purposely says Some means some cats are not black.

some does not include all, 1-99%.

Hey guys, I sat the ucat recently and I got
VR - 680
DM - 770
QR - 880
AR - 680 [/: really thought I got all the patterns]
Total - 3010
If I got like a >99.8 atar and I apply to all the unis where would I have a shot? [GWS for WSU by the way]

So the answer would be No ?
Doesn't 'some' mean more than 1-99%, so it won't include all?

with the statement; "All cats are black" - "Some cats are black" can be inferred and is correct.

with the statement: "Some cats are black" - "some cats are not black" can be inferred and is correct. since "some" does not include 100%, meaning theres at-least 1% of cats which are not black.

So, the new definition of some that it means more than 1( not including it ) but not all , does not apply?
