I’m not actually sure that anyone who missed the 90s cut off received one though

Adelaide UAdel Medicine: General Discussion

You could be onto something, no-one on MSO with a sub-90th percentile UCAT reported an offer, that's pretty unforunate

I think I saw a discussion somewhere on MSO that the reason for this is to not break laws or something? Since they are technically not full-on discriminating based on state as it is an interview but not offer quota? Similar to what Monash is doing I guess.

Two people from my school got in with 99 atar + 2800 UCAT and a approx 98 atar+2750 ucat. Both got bonded
Both SA non-rural school leavers

Except Monash is interviewing local and interstate applicants separately, allowing plenty of room for offer discrimination i.e. conveniently only reserving 20-30/300 spots for interstaters and making them compete among themselves for one (hence the ridiculous cutoffs).
Well that proves that it IS still possible to land an offer with a slightly lower UCAT score. Must've been killer interviews, congrats!

Wait what do you mean? The degree of bias is higher for monash (80/20, 90/10? instead of 50/50 interview spots) but both unis are interviewing locally and interstaters seperately no?
Edit: Oops nvm I think I get what you mean
, they don't have full dibs/chance on ALL spots like the Adelaide peeps do

They're only likely making very minimal offers now as people decline so the chances of us getting much more data here at MSO are pretty slim. We usually get about 5-10% of data reported here (and some Unis, ie. Curtin, Flinders, etc, much less), so they'd need to make 10-20 offers for us to get a single one reported here, which is unlikely at this stage. We'd just have to get lucky with the (maybe handful) of people still to get an offer being MSO members.

Both second rounds,Which offer round did they get in?
99.8 and 2800 and no offer here
99.95 and 2950 also no offer here
Don’t know what happened in the interviews
Hoping for an Adelaide bonded offer to replace my current flinders offer, but the chances r pretty slim unfortunately

99.75 and 2910

Good luck man! Fingers crossedI'm hoping for either flinders or adelaide bonded/non-bonded to get my first offer
Did you ask flinders where you were on the list you might be nextI'm hoping for either flinders or adelaide bonded/non-bonded to get my first offer
they do that? Might give them a call tomorrow, or maybe just await with suspense. Would asking do anything to increase likelihood?
No honestly I wouldn’t ring if you haven’t already they are giving out very inaccurate information people were told lower ranks than me and have offers yet I do not have one. They told one person they were ranked 500 and laughed at them but that person got an offer lol
I think you should still stay positive with those scores but it’s true you never know. Are your friends rural?Both second rounds,
99.95 and 2950 also no offer here

Hi guys,
I am seeking for volunteering or role at aged care/gp clinics and I have been struggling to find one as most of the places I have contacted got back to me and said that they are not seeking new volunteers due to covid and etc. Hence, I was wondering if volunteering experience in the medical field is essential to receive a good interview outcome? I have asked my friends and some of them told me that they got into adl med with no previous interview experience so I am very confused and lost.
Thank you in advance
