I can only comment on UCAT for interview only unis. You will have to hope for 93rd%ile being okay for JMP and UQ again this year! But your GWS status will land you a JPM interview. You should also get a UAdel interview.

Best of luck!

I’m pretty sure Adelaide has gone up to 98th (interstate) and have cut interviews by 200 this year so likely to go up further unfortunately

Sorry, I thought it dropped to 93rd, but just double checked. It was 96th last year. I hadn't heard about them dropping interview spots by 200 places though! Yikes.

JPM will hopefully invite you to interview given your GWS status (last year 697 was needed, though that was for a top up interview invite). UAdel dent will be borderline based on your UCAT. 87th%ile got interviews last year.

Best of luck!

Do you happen to recall the cut-off for a non-topup for GWS? Thank you so much regardless.

Unfortunately, you're unlikely to be eligible for interview at UCAT-using universities. Given your VR, I'd still apply to JPM if I were you, as it's impossible to know how things will shift on that front and you've gotta be in it to win it. JCU will be your best hope, but will require a stellar application. Bond will invite you to complete the psychometric test.

UCAT Score Use by Med and Dent Schools

I will add to this post as more info is published on how UCAT score will be considered. (Updated with UQ info 10/05/2019) (Updated with UWA info 03/06/2019) (Updated by LMG with UTAS info 04/06/2019) (Updated with Adelaide info 05/06/2019, thanks to Sanjee) (Updated with Curtin info 20/08/2019)...

You should get interview invites from all UCAT using universities with the likely exceptions of Monash and UNSW. Best of luck!

UQ interview, UNSW will need that higher ATAR you're hoping for, JMP interview, UAdel will depend what happens with this new info I've just heard about re. a reduction of interview spots by 200. Last year interstaters needed 96th%ile, so this may increase unfortunately. Monash is unlikely as interstaters need almost 'perfect' scores in both UCAT and ATAR for Monash these days. Your VR score is only concerning for JPM (it basically rules you out).

Interviews for JPM and JMP.
JCU depends on your written application but your ATAR will struggle to be competitive as a non-rural.
Interstate applicants need almost perfect scores for Monash, so that one is pretty unlikely, unfortunately.
UAdel dent is an interview, too.

Someone with SEAS and MG and a UCAT of 85th got an offer last year, but that was with an ATAR of 99.60. Unfortunately, 87th%ile won't be enough for Medicine interviews at any interstate university.

Best of luck for Monash!
 
I'm calling it a night now all. Please continue to post if you would like to throw your scores into the ring, and someone will get to them ASAP.

Good night :D
