So, in terms of dentistry, I am sorry, but I think you are out of the ball-park for everything (unless somehow you can get your GPA up to 6.875 for this year, which would make you get a griffith spot), apart from JCU, which is your best bet, have you sent in an application there? because you have a good chance with a successful written. UADEL is out of the picture, unless the interview cutoff drops by essentially 10%iles, sorry. But it doesn't help to apply, good luck!

Does JCU Dent require chemistry like Medicine does?

Nil, unless you are an E12 applicant. USyd only invites those with 99.95ATARs unless they qualify for E12 then it drops to 99.50.

You should get WSU & JMP interviews. Your ATAR 96.95 virtually rules out UNSW since at best your GPA can only combine with it to 98.x, not enough to make the cutoff.

If you qualify for SATAC UES (school-based or financial disadvantage) your ATAR would be boosted to 99.95 and 75%ile might get a Flinders offer. Other than that I think JCU is your only chance.

Can't really comment on your chances for entry beyond the generic percentages, but for interviews, you should get invites for both.

Unfortunately you won't be eligible for any UCAT universities for Medicine or Dentistry (this includes UAdel). But your GPA will likely see you get an offer for Griffith dentistry if you're able to move to Qld.

You'll also get a Bond interview, and JCU Med and Dent will depend on the strength of your written application.

ETA: Also, your GPA sets you up very nicely for graduate entry Medicine and Dentistry! If you can maintain that, and if GAMSAT is a more favourable exam style for you than UCAT, then that would be a viable pathway for you.

Will JCU still accept an application?

Oh, nope. Applications had to be posted by the 30th of September. One to keep on your list for next year, though (unless you decide to take the Griffith Dent offer you're likely to get, assuming you've applied, or are intending to apply, to there).

I'm going to comment on your chances of getting an interview invite, as that is different to an offer, and a necessary first step in the process.

As a rural applicant, you should get invites for JMP, UAdel, JPM(/WSU) particularly because they are increasing their rural intake substantially, and Monash. I am less sure about UNSW because you also have EAS, but you will probably get an interview there, too. Best of luck.

Whats the lowest WSU ucat formula score I should have for interviews as a NZ citizen? I'm at 685
Click to expand...

Unfortunately, if they use the same formula as last year, your score won't even come close. It was around 725 last year for someone in your position.
