Overall UMAT Score: 163

Overall Percentile Rank: 72

Other Bonuses: yes, university bonus point equity scheme (included in predicted atar and only eligible for south australia)

I heard Flinders take in majority 'bonus point' students, my atar will be maxed out (aggregate will be 90/90) although my umat score is a bit low. What are my chances?

If your actual ATAR ends up at 99.95, then you're a good chance. Last year, the cut off was 99.85. UMAT is only considered for 10% so your score shouldn't be too much of a barrier. Best of luck.

You might scrape through with the GWS bonus for UWS, but I suspect you'll just miss out. You'll also miss all the 50/50/50 unis with your S2 score. If you can be closer to 99.0 than 98.0, then that might open up UNSW, but I suspect you'll just miss that one, too, unfortunately. Bond will interview you if you can keep your ATAR up. JCU (no UMAT) might be worth a try.

You'll get a JMP interview. You won't quite make it for UNSW or UWS. Maybe UAdel and Monash interviews. Bond if you can get 98.0.

You'll get UWS and UNSW interviews. You'll miss out on JMP. You'll also probably get a UQ provisional Med offer (congrats). I'm not an authority on dentistry, unfortunately.

Edit by Mana - That score will get you UQ Dentistry, CSU Dentistry, maybe Griffith dentistry and maybe JCU Dentistry. Adelaide will also give you interviews for med AND dent.

Would I have to do really well in interview to get into unsw?
Thanks
 
hey sorry in regards to this, my 'actual' atar will be around flat 99.00, but with my adelaide equity bonus points (5 additional aggregate points) my atar will be 99.95, is that what you meant?
Cheers

Yeah, that's what I mean, sorry! I should have said confirmed (as opposed to predicted).

A1 would be better at answering this but, 99.5/172 (raw) is the lowest (rough guide) combo for 99.5, so your 99.4/182 is also probably around about that (maybe slightly above), so yeah, you'd need a great interview (which you should aim for, regardless, obviously!).
