Unlikely considering youre non rual and non GWS. Best bets will be Flinders, JCU, and Griffith. WA uni's are likely out of bounds aswell

You would be borderline for UNSW, good for JMP, unlikely for WSU, good for UQ (especially if you get bonus points for maths - worth a check), good for Adelaide. Not sure about UWA/Curtin as theres little data around here

You should be good for UQ and UAdel Dent

IS this with an IB 38 or IB 42?

Specific Question: I think I'm out of reach from UNSW because of my 94 ATAR, but do I realistically have a chance to start working for interviews for WSU? I was borderline based on last year's stats and so I'm feeling hopeless for this year's round of applications.

Thank you in advance!

Likely invites (and subsequent offer consider SA student subquota this year) for Adelaide

Likely for UQ, JMP, and UNSW

Unlikely for UWA, maybe for curtin

Likely for JMP, maybe for WSU. Probably out of reach for UNSW because of your ATAR as you said. JCU will require a good application as they take lil non standards, and your probably good for Bond aswell (if you can afford it, dont sell your house to go there)

Its probably good to start prepping for interviews considering theres nothing much to lose, and alot to gain

Good luck :)

JMP - likely interview
UNSW - likely interview,
WSU - unlikely

Bond - likely
JCU will require a good written application

Im not sure if the following universities will classify you as a school leaver, so its worth checking
UQ - likely interview
Adelaide - maybe interview (maybe because new SA student sub quota)
Griffith - might be slightly too low this year

Hey, thanks for the reply! Do you think UWA or Curtin interviews are possible? Also, someone with the same combo as me was told UNSW interview was unlikely, so is it :(

w/ monash guarentee youre looking good for an interview invite. If the bonus pushed you to a 99.95, flinders should be good aswell.

Likely for UQ dent/med, adelaide dent, and JMP

Maybe for Adelaide Medicine, considering their allocating 50% of interviews to SA's this year, also maybe for CSU dent considering last year cut off was 92nd %tile

My apologies, missed those. UNSW is probably borderline. Not sure about Curtin or UWA

Likely for UQ Med Invite, UQ Dent, JMP invite, depending on ATAR UNSW (99.25+), Adelaide invite.

probably not WSU, probably CSU dent interview, Monash is unlikely, as it UTAS.

Cheers, I forgot to add I have 2 bonus points for doing Specialist Maths at UQ. Will getting atar above 97.95 be of any use? As it will scale to 99.95 either way?
 
PSA: if your IB score is below 41, you're going to struggle to get a final place offer for the University of Adelaide. If your UCAT score is competitive enough, sure you'll get an interview, but considering that the median ATAR of applicants who were made offers in 2019 was roughly 99.5, that means you're going to need a top, and I mean top, interview to secure a place.

I dont think so, what UQ has said in their documents in selection ranks will go 'up to 99.95' but im not sure if medicine will be different. Best just to aim as high as possible

Specific Question: I know there's pretty much no hope here, but I want to know if getting an interview at Monash is something I should completely forget about and put out of my mind, or if there's still a tiny chance? Thanks.
