Specific Question: How likely would it be that I get an interview with this subpar ucat score? If so, would I need to do insanely well in the interview to get an offer (preferably at UWA)?

With a combination like that, you should be able to get interviews with both, you are pretty clear for UWA but might scrape it for Curtin. Offer-wise, I think you are in good standing to get a UWA offer, and Curtin would be a maybe, both pending a reasonable interview. I think you should be able to make it without having to absolutely ace the interview. Good luck!

Unfortunately your chances for both are pretty unlikely. JMP needed 93rd%ile last year (and historically has needed 90th), and JPM needed a combined score of 750.

JMP is your best bet. And JCU depending on your written application. Best of luck!

ETA: I’m less sure on the rural requirements for Dent.

You will hopefully get interviews at
UNSW, JMP, UQ, Curtin, and UWA. UAdel required 96th%ile last year, JPM ~750, Monash 99.95/~99th combo for interstaters, and Flinders 99.95 so they are less likely. You should get a Griffith offer.

Interview tips can be found in the interview sub-forum. I suggest you start there.

JPM/WSU is very unlikely. UNSW will rely heavily on EAS. Good luck!

You should get interviews at JMP and JPM. UNSW will depend on how much of a boost your rurality gets you and JCU will depend on your written application. Interview is weighted highly at all of the above (especially JMP where it is 100%), so you should prepare well. Good luck.

Specific Question:
What is my chance at a UNSW interview, based on the gateway scheme?
What is my chance at an interview at JMP and WSU?
What is WSU's GWS cut-off score based on their formula?
If I had to choose between JMP or WSU in listing one as a preference in UAC which one should I pick based on my marks and circumstance? (I know both are unlikely but I still want to choose one).
Is there any other university that has a similar entry scheme to UNSW gateway?
Is it even worth applying to interstate universities with these scores?

Sorry for the number of questions, I am just really nervous about these scores that I have and the chances of getting into medicine.
Thank you in advance.

Interviews likely at all three IF your ATAR was above 96.00 (for UNSW only).

Good luck.

I’d say you’re unlikely to get interviews at any UCAT requiring University. EAS is a bit of an unknown for UNSW, but I have a vague feeling it affects your ATAR rather than your UCAT (though I could be mistaken).

You can put JMP and JPM in your preferences in whichever order you’d most prefer them, but I highly recommend having some solid, non-Med back up preferences for UAC. Last year, JPM wanted 697 for GWS entry.

Your best bet will likely be the various Griffith universities assuming your self-prediction is accurate.

Interviews at JMP and JPM are likely (top up interviews for JMP went below the 600 mark last year) and JMP needed 2450, I believe. UNSW is a possibility depending on your rurality (it’s weighted there). Also, I believe all need those 5 consecutive years to have been after you started school (so during primary school or high school). JCU use some secret method for ranking rurality so it’s impossible to say how (if at all) your current metro address will affect your application.

I’m not sure about UAdel dent, unfortunately. We rarely get data reported here for that category. Hopefully someone else can weigh in.
