Useless trivia: I think the JPM degree is BClinSci/MD.

yes sir
That will very much depend on what you go on to study!
Hopefully medicine haha, but otherwise I was thinking radiography or science. Shouldn't be too math heavy right?
Radiography will have its fair share of physics/maths subjects for sure. As for science, depends on your major, though you’re likely to have to complete physics +/- maths pre-requisite subjects in your foundation year even if you go down the biology/chem directions. I’d hold onto the calculator for now just in case!
Guess I can't escape maths. Okay, thank you so much!Even in Med there will be stats units sometimes although it won't be as complex and a graphics calculator might not be necessary.
Oh, that's quite interesting. I'm assuming it won't be maths heavy but do you know what type of statistics to expect in medicine and how it would correlate to the course?
The sort of statistics that would facilitate understanding, interpreting, and potentially conducting medical research and public health data. Think odds ratios, risk ratios, probability and the like at a bare minimum. It’s not particularly complex, more practical than anything, in the grand scheme of things.
I am a non-standard pathway student who has completed a degree and is rural.
I completed my interview 2 days ago.
My question is would I be versing the rural graduates + rural course switchers or be competing with all the graduated + course switchers?
I am very surprised I got the interview in the first place and was wondering how it works.

You would be under the rural quota (which includes ALL rural applicants).

1. Yes.
2. Incorrect.
Bit confusing since they use ATAR and I have a GPA.
Would it depend on the University? I am talking about Curtin University.

Generally they would convert your GPA to an ATAR equivalent.
Im not sure about Curtin specifically, but to my knowledge (happy to be corrected) as a rural non-school leaver you'd be competing with other school leavers / non trads for rural spots. I'd assume most other uni's would be the same.

No - anyone invited to an interview has a chance at gaining a spot for medicine. Universities wouldn't waste their time interviewing someone just to give an applicant "learning experience".
I saw from your other post that you questioned how you got an interview. Don't question it dude, just accept it haha.
EDIT: rural students generally receive interview offers with lower UCAT scores, for what it's worth.

Okay. Will just wait see what happens next month. If it's rejection will smash UCAT next year and apply to more than just one school. Thanks for answering my questions!
