anyone else feel one step behind, i feel like next year i'll get 3000 and the 90 percentile would be 3050 and the year after I'll get that but the percentile would increase again. Super demotivating.
 
Hi guys, I’m Y13 this year and got a UCAT of 3050 which is 92% according to the UCAT web. What Australia universities do u reckon I could get in? Also, I’m NCEA student, so I’m not sure what my ATAR will be. Thank you!

It seems to be happening to more than just you. I'm in the same situation. I try not to despair and enjoy the journey.
Hi, all.

Percentile Calculator for 2023 is up!

Good job, thank you. Let me ask, have you manually entered the stats and are you just comparing metrics? Or is there an online database somewhere that you compare the metric to?

92%ile is possible for UNSW if your NCEA converts to a near top ATAR.
It's borderline for CQU, USQ. Depends on VR score for WSU. Probably not enough for UQ, JMP, Adelaide but worth a try.

Hey guys, any suggestions on where to apply with an 87th percentile?
87%ile doesn't look promising for any med school. You can try non-UCAT JCU and Bond.
 
Hi all, I've gotten a 92% +654 and ATAR99+ equivalent GPA, how likely do you think UQ Dent and a Griffith interview will be? Thanks

Iirc UQ Dent cutoff last year was low 3600s UCAT (5-section total). Your 92%ile + 654 is almost 3700 plus ATAR99+ you should get a place offer.

Last year a few got Griffith Dent interviews with 87-90%ile provided they put Griffith Dent in the top three prefs. If you're only applying for Dent I suggest you put UQ 1st pref and Griffith 2nd pref.

yeah everyone shifted up consistently with VR
i knew something seemed suspiciously even when the VR median/average and overall median/average went up by roughly 20
damn is everyone suddenly interested in WSU
 
Hey everyone, hope you're well!
I got a 3130 UCAT (95%ile) +673, and expecting a 98-99 ATAR +EAS. I'm in QLD, so I was wondering what the best order for QTAC preferences would be, and whether I have a chance anywhere interstate? I qualify for the UNSW gateway program/ Monash guarantee if that helps. Thanks!
 
Hey guys I just want to ask, I above 3650 total. I have seen people saying some UQ dent offers were low 3600’s last year.

I want to know roughly how many offers may have been below the 3650 sort of threshold? Was it 1-2 or potentially 5-10?

Thanks. Just want to roughly gauge my changes with the percentile jump. If there was 1-2 offers below 3650, then I’d assume around 3650 is borderline. Whereas with maybe 5 offers below 3650, then 3650 is more likely.

Thanks
 
What is the likelihood of getting an offer to UNSW, CSU, UNE with a UCAT of 91%, SJT 480, ATAR 97, Rural RA2? Is this certain for an interview?

Also should say I have a medical EAS on top of rural eas.
 
hey, I've sat UCAT for practice for next year and heres my scores.
VR: 560
DM: 630
QR: 770
AR: 890
TOTAL: 2850
SJ:559

If SATAC gives you UES 98-99 + 95%ile should get a Flinders place offer.
Should get UNSW interview if they give you EAS to boost your ATAR to 99.5+
Borderline for all the other schools. If TAC application fee is not a problem apply to them all to improve your chances.

QTAC preferences should be exactly as how you prefer them. No gain in playing with the order of prefs.

According to this post > Dentistry Entry Discussion and Questions
UQ Dent cutoff last year was 3596. We don't know if this itself will change significantly, if it doesn't except for the UCAT's own increase of 20 then 3650 should make the cutoff.

You should get JMP/UNE interview.
UNSW yes if your RA2 is accepted as rual (some RA2 areas are not for UNSW). CSU uncertain due to your 480 SJT.

hello
Ucat of 2600 rural pathway any scope interviews :UQ Monash ?
2600 56%ile is a bit low despite being rural. You should still appply to wherever eligible because we never know what can happen.
 
You should get JMP/UNE interview.
UNSW yes if your RA2 is accepted as rual (some RA2 areas are not for UNSW). CSU uncertain due to your 480 SJT.
Sorry, meant to say 680 SJT hahaha. This would be much more likely for CSU right? Also is there a way to check if my rural area is accepted (I think it should be, <10,000 people and farming area) by UNSW?

Thankyou for the assistance, it is really appreciated
