Rural Applicant: (no)

Indigenous Applicant: (no)
Other: N/A
Specific Question: All my questions are going to be based upon Uni Adelaide
1). For Uadel, the UCAT is the gatekeeping mechanism right? So if a candidate does not pass the threshold then there is no chance for interview?
2). What are my chances of Uadel?
3). Where would I need to place in interviews to have a chance at an offer? (Uadel)

Hi RicherS,

Dent: should be good for all IMO. Maybe not Griffith dent which was 99.8 last year but should be competitive for the rest.

In what order would you rank chance of getting offers from each university assuming I do good in the interview with my current UCAT/ GPA?

Hi community2019,

Dent: I've no idea how WAM conversions work but based on that UCAT score, I'd apply for Adelaide & La Trobe dent. Work out your GPA and see if they've matched or better previous offers in our offers thread.

[89012]

Just reposting for dent interview chances! I also have a few questions as well.

91st percentile, 2860 total, 71 WAM. Non-standard.
1. Chances for interview to any dental school?
2. Even though my first priority is medicine, will attending dentistry interviews benefit me/prepare me for medicine interviews?

 

[Yamster]

89012, try CSU dent. What's that WAM converted to a GPA?

Unfortunately, Bond is probably your only option. Though your ATAR may be too low for there, too, as I think it’s combined with your GPA if you only have 1 year.

Applications are through TACs who will know you have a tertiary record (and declaring otherwise will be fraud), but it won’t matter anyway as your ATAR is too low to be competitive anywhere that considers ATAR, and your UCAT is too low for those that consider UCAT. Your best bet is to concentrate on your GPA and try to grad entry via GAMSAT, though you could also do UCAT again next year for WSU or JMP.

You might have to post on the “what are my chances of getting bail from jail?” thread when they expel you for fraud haha. I pray that you didn’t use your real name as your account name and then suggest the notion of even thinking about committing fraud on an open public forum for all to see lol.
