Post-UCAT Discussion 2022

So she got 2860. Is this enough for anything as a non standard med/dent?

Depends on a few factors like rurality, GPA etc my dude.

Hey y'all, just finished my test. I'm pleased with how much I improved from last yr but the score's so borderline for an interview that it's nerve-wracking hoping for a JMP or JPM (definitely more likely for JMP).

Thoughts for chances on interview? (For reference I'm GWS non-standard 1st yr uni, GPA - 6.5 and atar 98

2021:
VR - 580
DM - 660
QR - 830
AR - 720
Total: 2790
SJ - 589

2022:
VR - 640
DM - 870
QR - 760
AR - 750
Total: 3020
SJ - 687

I’m a year 12 leaver
Ucat score 3040 (SJ679)
Expecting ATAR of approx 99.5
I will have EAS
Happy to study med anywhere in Australia
Would love to know where I can hope to get an interview
Any thoughts?

It depends on several factors such as GPA, rural area. Whatever, have a try to apply all possible med/dent schools in Australia.

Any chances with my score for uws and UNSW interviews?

Hi, 4th time sitter here! Here are my results, all the way from 2019:

	2019	2020	2021	2022
VR	550	580	670	720
DM	560	650	650	780
QR	710	870	740	880
AR	680	680	860	710
Total	2500	2780	2920	3090
SJT	556	588	601	653

I was hoping for this year's mark to be higher, but overall I'm very happy with my improvement over the past few years! I'm just annoyed with AR, thought I would get the same as last year!

I would say the major difference between this year and the last few years has been the amount of effort I've been putting into UCAT. I definitely reviewed my exams much more diligently this year compared to previous years. I'm just hoping I make it past the interview cut-off for WSU and Newcastle, though you never know what happens.

Good luck to all those yet to do their exams, and congrats to everyone who completed their exams in the past few days!

Edit: sheesh, keep finding mistakes on this post! My post-exam brain is not doing well

How did you find Vr comapred to previous years and offical mocks.

VR:790

Total= 2990
State: SA
ATAR: 99.6 (actual 2021)
Notes: I have EAS or equivalent in New South Wales, Victoria and WA but not in SA so here my selection rank is still 99.6. My main goal is Adelaide medicine, but I would also like to apply to UNSW and some other schools. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about my prospects for offers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello! These were the scores for my UCAT:

VR: 670
DM: 730
QR: 880
AR: 860

Total: 3140

SJT: 683

Possible WSU Formula (0.58 x VR + 0.12 x DM + 0.12 x QR + 0.18 x AR) = 736.6

I'm non-standard Sydney GWS applicant with no other special considerations. My ATAR for HSC 2021 was 98.65 and my GPA for my first year of university currently is 7 (fingers crossed that won't change later through the year). I'm applying on every medical school which takes non-standard students in Australia (which I think limits me to JCU, JMP, JPM and UNSW -- please correct me if I'm wrong).

How are my chances of getting an interview? I'm hoping for an interview from all places but I'm just a bit worried that scores and cut-offs are going to rise significantly this year, especially for WSU considering how their cut off score seemed to rise by almost 30 hypothesised points last year.

Thank you!

The predictions for WSU below are based on last year's formula-score cutoffs GWS 721, NSW ~750, non-NSW ~760. This is for fun as we don't know if they will go up or down this year, though I think they should plateau.

Any chances with my results (GWS)
VR 700
DM 710
QR 740
AR 680
Total 2830
SJT 617

Formula= 702.4 not promising for GWS but we can pray it'll drop (was 701 the year before iirc).

With EAS you should get interview from UNSW.
JMP, UQ, UWA, Curtin are possible.
Monash if you're Vic, probably not if non-Vic. WSU can't say without section scores.

Formula= 765.4 fingers crossed for WSU.
Being SA you should get Adelaide interview right?
With EAS UNSW is likely. But not sure for Monash UWA Curtin as your 2990 is a little low.

Formula= 736.6 should be good enough for WSU GWS.
Definitely yes for JMP. UNSW too if GPA high 6s to 7.

All the best everyone.

EtA: A comment to cheer up everyone. Last year I noticed multiples 3300-3400 quite early on, this year we haven't seen any yet right? That means the percentile scores/cutoffs are likely to drop lower.

Hey guys - I have my UCAT exam on the 9th of August and feeling really nervous. I've been doing a bunch of mocks this week for practice and have been getting averages of around 2800-3000. What sort of scores were you getting in your mocks 1-2 weeks before the test and was the mark similar to what you got on the day?

Hey guys - I have my UCAT exam on the 9th of August and feeling really nervous.

Being nervous is a big killer on the test day. You must come in with a calm/clear mind to have any chance. Learn to do your best without thinking about the outcome, let that sort out itself. All the best.

Hey everyone

I've done the UCAT a few days ago and this is my 3rd time doing it.

	2020	2021	2022
VR	610	590	670
DM	700	660	750
QR	760	800	880
AR	680	740	750
Total	2750	2790	3050 (SJT was 583)

I was wondering what my chances were as a Non-standard applicant having done 1.5 years of uni so far for WSU, UNSW and JMP given that my GPA is roughly around 6.7 ish and I also qualify for EAS/SCATS? I am non rural, not GWS and am from Victoria.

Hi, these are my scores below:

VR: 590
DM: 750
QR: 850
AR: 720
Total: 2910
SJT: 646

Predicted ATAR: 97-98ish?

Was wondering what chances I have with these scores (I'm also rural). Based on my VR score I can safely assume WSU is off the list lol

Thanks a lot

6.7+SCATS 94(?)%ile should get you UNSW interview. Borderline for JMP 3040 last year.
Unfortunately VR670/3050 is not enough for WSU.

I'm sure rural with your ATAR/UCAT will get many interviews, including WSU since a rural got an interview last year with 35th %ile.

Hey guys,
My first UCAT, non standard applicant, healthcare background. Non GWS, non Rural. EAS but not useful as completed post grad...

VR:540 *screams*
DM:610
QR: 640
AR:690

SJT:705

My mocks showed reverse results, VR 750, AR 450-700, QR,DM poor at 450-550.
Pretty pleased with these, next year's test will be awesome.
Really impressed with you guys and your 3000+!! Crazy!!

Hey everyone, did my UCAT recently and got the following. I graduated last year with a 99.85 and am on a gap year. What are my chances for UNSW med, or any other unis. Im looking to apply for both med and dentistry interstate as well. Underperformed with VR and DM on the day but still happy with getting 3000+ on my first attempt. I live in the GWS region but I know I wont be able to get into WSU this year, I also have EAS from UAC but I dont know about other states yet. Appreciate any input

How did you find the VR section compared to the offical resources and mocks?
