Medicine: You should get an interview at Curtin. JMP and WSU interviews are unlikely but not completely improbable - definitely worth a shot. If you have the money you would get a psychometric testing invite at Bond, and you could apply to JCU as well (interview invite contingent on the quality of the written application).

Dentistry: You could snag a Griffith offer if you’re VERY lucky - the cutoff has wavered around the 6.7-6.8 mark in the past few years. JCU again would be worth an application. You could get an Adelaide interview if you’re very lucky too. For UQ your UCAT is probably too low unfortunately. I’ll leave the other dent schools to Yamster.

If undergraduate entry doesn’t work out, have you considered graduate entry? I’m happy to answer questions about that too if you’re considering that as a future option. Good luck with your application! :)

Thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it. Yeah I sat gamsat in March but I feel like UCAT is a better exam for me. But i will continue to give it all a shot. One of them should work out eventually! Im also building up my portfolio so i might be able to snag an interview in the future with gamsat.

Specific Question:
What are my chances of an interview & offer for UNSW in particular. I am aware that my ATAR for UNSW is quite low so do I need to be in the top third of interviewees?
Pretty sure offers for WSU are around 30%? and JMP at 25%?
Many thanks!

Specific Question: What are my chances of getting an interview at any med school? Especially at JMP/UNSW//WSU? Should I spend money on applying through the interstate Admissions Centres? If my ATAR does not improve, should I focus on trying to get into Physiotherapy instead, and getting in as a non-standard or through postgraduate? Would it be better if I did Exercise Physiology which has fewer job prospects but might be easier to do well in? (so it is easier to achieve a higher WAM in comparison to physiotherapy)

Also, which med schools would my EAS/Low SES application help me? What do I have to do to ensure that I recieve these bonus points?

I'm pretty sure you haven't got a chance at a monash interview. I don't think they take your bonus points for subjects, so your atar of 97 will be taken at face value. Your UCAT is good no doubt, but Monash has historically had very high cutoffs for their interstate applicants, hovering in the high 99s for atar and 90s for ucat. UQ has historically had its cutoffs for unbonded places around a 95th for ucat and a 92nd-93rd for bonded, so you would have no trouble getting an unbonded place at UQ.

Hi Smelly Boy,
I just wanted to say hello. We chatted last year during the JMP interviews. I logged on today to actually see how you were going! Congratulations on your UCAT score. I just wanted to let you know I am one of your fans and really rooting for you. I ended up getting a top up offer and I am JMP Armidale campus. Anyways just wanted to wish you the best and I really hope you get in to UNSW so you can be close to your family. Your determination is amazing! Best of Luck!

Specific Question: My ATAR was garbage by med standards but my GPA is mildly better and Ive lived as rural as you get for my whole life, and taking into account that Adelaide only weights the UCAT at 20%, what do y'all think my chances are for an interview? If I get to interview I'm so sure I can secure a spot but leaning hard on my intentions to go rural afterwards.
