Interviews at: WSU, JMP, probably Monash, UQ if you have bonuses, Adelaide. JCU depends on written application. With 98 ATAR the other unis are looking unlikely but naturally this changes with higher ATAR. Good luck :)

Expect interviews at all UCAT unis except for UQ (ineligible) and Monash. That ATAR will get you a place offer at Griffith too and JCU depends on written application. Flinders - ATAR is probably too low. Well done :)

ETA: not WSU due to VR sorry

Expect interviews everywhere you apply (dare I say maybe not Monash) and a place offer at any of the Griffith campuses. Good luck :)

Medicine:
Interviews - yes at WSU, JMP, Adel, Monash, UQ if you have ATAR bonus. Other unis are unlikely with a 98 ATAR, JCU would depend on written application, UNSW depends on how much EAS boosts your ATAR. Good luck :)

Interviews - WSU borderline, JMP yes, Adelaide yes, UQ yes. Other unis depend on ATAR, the higher above 99 the better but it’s hard to say with the info given. Good luck :)

Dent:
Yes for UQ, given you do Specialist Mathematics or LOTE (+2 bonus points to meet 99 ATAR requirement)
Yes for UADEL and CSU interviews.
No for Latrobe (ATAR 99+) , UWA (ATAR 99+), Griffith (ATAR 99.8), USYD (ATAR 99.5 for interview), UMelb (ATAR 99.85)
Unsure for JCU (Depends on written component and rurality, but ATAR should be high enough)

i understand that my ATAR estimate is relatively low for medicine, however would it be enough if I have a killer interview at Adelaide?

Just to add onto this, one of my friends scored a first round Adelaide unbonded offer with a 98.80 ATAR and 99%ile UMAT, so you've got more than a fighting chance! Even if you don't manage to snag a first-round offer (it's very difficult, roughly 1 in 6), don't lose hope whatsoever due to the significant number of declines from interstate students. If you have your heart set on Adelaide, I assure you your offer will come eventually :D

You’ll get an interview at JMP, WSU depends on how much study you’ve done and whether you meet the ATAR hurdle (but you’ll get an interview regardless, place offer will require you to clear the ATAR hurdle), Curtin possibly but GPA is a little low. UNSW your ATAR and GPA are too low. Curtin requires a TISC application. Good luck :)

Unfortunately no for other unis
