Unfortunately, you're unlikely to be successful for UWS, JMP, or UTAS. All the best for JCU.

Definitely not for UWS, unlikely for UNSW. You might want to consider a JCU application (no UMAT).

Question: What are my chances of getting into any uni/med. I just got the results and now I'm really stressing out cos I didn't get any interviews last year (2016) cos I got a UMAT of 81. I'm quite disappointed with myself in both ATAR and UMAT but I hope I can make it into something (+ I can't afford Bond Uni)

Not likely for UTAS or UWS, interview for JMP, unsure for UNSW.

Years of information gathered and reported here to MSO, plus some information released by the Universities themselves.

You'll get a JMP and UWS interview. Possibly a UNSW interview. Unlikely for UTAS. Unsure about Monash and UAdel. 95 is a great UMAT, and a great improvement from 81. Congratulations!

Question/s: do i stand a chance for UNSW and JMP? I suppose utas and uws are out of the question because of the s2 score?

 

[Nujabes]

Not likely for UTAS or UWS, interview for JMP, unsure for UNSW.

Cheers for that, just a quick question. I read somewhere that UTAS needed 96+ UMAT, but I also read it needed 60+ S2. What's the actual criteria?

Both (kind of!). Depending on your application type, you need S2 60+ for your application to progress. All applicants are then ranked on raw score /300. Last year, offers went down to 189, which was a percentile rank of 96.
