I found the QTAC stats for 2019 Intake offers. QTAC makes it protected I couldn't copy/paste, had to retype into the table below. If you find any of the QTAC course codes wrong for the intended course please alert me to correct.

Interesting to note in some cases the huge difference between Offers made and Number accepted/enrolled.

A1 would the 'non' for GU/USC Med be those who had a gap year? And is it therefore odd that they had a lot more gap year students than not at GC?

That only includes QLD school-leavers, so the “non” would be interstate students as well :)

A1 adds - I was going to post: I think gap year counts as Y12. The "Non" includes non-standards & interstate Y12s. With non-standards not applicable to GU Med the higher Non numbers mean more interstate Y12s.

Why are there differences between the offers made, accepted and enrolled columns?
 
The Griffith GC column is unusual. 39 accepted the offer, but enrolled should be at around the same number because that’s the actual cohort size. QLD/NON split should be around 13/26.

There could be deferred students factored into both the accepted and actual cohort size columns. Even just here at MSO I know of a couple of users who have accepted but deferred Griffith and have hoped/are hoping for a direct entry or home state offer the next year.

It’s possible and there are a few deferred from 2018 that are enrolled, but otherwise most enrolled atm seem to be year 12 graduates, certainly not that many deferred from 2018.

Oh some may have applied through UAC and other TACs, that makes a lot more sense.

You have ~40 in your cohort? Surely your cohort + Nathan is well in excess of the 60 places they are meant to offer then?
 
I have added several more schools to this table.

UWA Dent Prov479 (WA 149)5131 (WACE 27)2521 / 4

Notes:
1. Curtin's numbers look a little low. Maybe they don't include the internal Curtin course switchers.

2. I'm surprised to learn there were only 447 WA applicants for UWA MD Provisional, with 143 offers made to them. If UWA interviewed the typical ratio 3 per place it means almost every WA applicant got an interview. More likely they interviewed 2 per place, thus 447 applied > ~300 interviewed > 143 offers > 127 enrolled + 10 deferred.

3. UAC stats don't give Med/Dent specifics, only general fields of study like Health.
 
For UWA, this doesn’t include the people that applied to medicine via the Bachelor of Philosophy 496 Applied (93 WA), 68 first pref, 22 offered, 20 enrolled. (Offers only to WACE students)

Although note, some people would have applied to medicine via both ways.

I doubt very much anyone who applies for UWA medicine via the Bachelor of Philosophy (much higher requirements, ATAR 99.8+ I think) would not put the other one as a pref as well. IOW the 1237/447 are pretty much inclusive of the Bachelor of Philosophy pref double up.

They changed the number of positions in the Bachelor of Philosophy for this year. When they came to our school, they said that since they increased the number of spots in that stream, it was far easier to get into (the cutoff was thought to be near the 98 ATAR threshold).

I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, but is this table referring to this year's statistics (ie. people graduating in 2019) or is this referring to the university year (2019 cohort being accepted into medicine)?

Yeah, and I believe Nathan has a similar number. It's likely because they can't distinguish between equivalent ATARs and under predictions happen so there's sometimes over enrolment. I remember a few years back, the GC cohort had about 60 enrolments, so that might actually make the GAMSAT MD entry requirements vary from year to year.

ATAR 98 may be for the BPhil itself. If it's MD provisional via BPhil isn't it subject to the 99.0+ requirement?

It's shown at top of the table 2019 Intake, but I agree it's not clear unless you look there.

For that, one must understand that there are usually only about 350 (in this year's case closer to 300) 99's in the state. Assuming that the vast majority of that applicants are non-rural, a lot of people would have culled themselves from applying due to the high cutoff. I know that last year the cutoff for interviews was something pretty low as well (right down to the 70's so really everyone gets an interview haha)

That may account for some but others (and those I know) put Curtin as first preference as they wanted to attend Curtin over UWA. Their second preference was also for an eastern states university over UWA. Not everyone in WA wants to attend the UWA medicine program. It's not all due to criteria cutoffs. Lots of different views when choosing universities, the numbers seem to indicate that.
 
Maybe the number enrolled is lower for Curtin because it doesn't include direct offers made by the university and not through TISC? (Or am I completely wrong here?)
I'm not sure Jenga - is the enrolled figure accurate? I don't know.

I had thought of that, but the stats show of the 86 offers - 42 were WACE 44 non-WACE. A large portion of this 44 would be interstate applicants whose interviews/offers were after TISC offer rounds. So if any direct offers were made it would be to them but they are included in the stats.
