Hey just got IB results and very very disappointed. I got an IB 38 (ATAR 96.70) and Umat 169 (79th percentile) and I am a rural student (RA3). what are my chances at Monash, I have an interview in a couple of days.
A1?Anonymous said:ATAR 99.95
UMAT 180
Non Vic applicant
Based on info at hand or in the past, with my ATAR and UMAT, how am I ranked among other interstate applicants for a Monash interview and subsequent place offer?
With a UMAT of 181 (91%ile: 58/52/60) and an ATAR of 99.85, what are the chances of receiving an interview from UNSW?
Also, chances of receiving UQ bonded?
You should definitely get an interview with UNSW.
For UQ they use the sum of your three section scores. With 170 as posted above you won't get an offer unless rural, but I guess there's a typo in your scores since the overall is 181. Assuming the sum is actually 180 it's borderline for a bonded offer. We don't know if it'll stay the same this year or rise or drop a little, just have to wait and see.

Hi A1, thanks very much for your help. UMAT is indeed 181 (91%ile), the three component scores have decimals after them that, after adding them and rounding it up, it comes to 181. I'm not sure where 170 came from, perhaps another post?
1. With a 99.85, is there a possibility that I don't receive an offer from Griffith University (knowing that the GC campus is very competitive)?
2. In addition, I've just received an interview from USYD Dentistry today. However, it seems that an email earlier stated that they only accept you if you place them in first preference (at least it is this case for the January 11th round) – [asking because I intend to place USYD DENTISTRY after UNSW MEDICINE (1st pref) for the 25th January offer] do you know if this applies for the 25th January round, or if this is true at all? Or just misleading phrasing?
As a followup, I received an interview from UNSW MEDICINE earlier today on the 18th January, avoiding the time clash with USYD DENTISTRY interviews on the 21st January. It seems I just managed to get an interview with my ATAR/UMAT.
However, it is to my understanding that UNSW uses all 3 criterions (ATAR, UMAT, INTERVIEW) in equal proportions in their offer selection. Given that my UMAT (181/91%ile) and ATAR (99.85) are on the lower end of the spectrum of interviewees, does that mean that even if I have a superb interview, there is still a high chance that I do not receive an offer due to the other components pulling me down (i.e. am I disadvantaged from the outset compared to the "average" candidate with a 50/50 chance?). Thanks.
Hi Lone Cheng,
I personally didn't. However, one of my colleagues whom the university registered as having a 99.40 ATAR and 93%ile received a rejection email. It was later revealed that UNSW failed to register his remark and he actually got 99.70, he proceeded to receive an interview invitation immediately after that.
Thanks Lyyrre.
Did your colleague appeal to get a remark ? And also appeal to UNSW to take into account of his remark afterward ? Many thanks.
Hi Lone Cheng,
My colleague did the IB Diploma and he appealed to the IB markers and got a remark from a 42 (99.40) to 43 (99.70), he didn't appeal to UNSW, UNSW simply received an un-updated version of his ATAR prior. After contacting, they refreshed and corrected their error to the remarked ATAR.

Any chances of an Interview at Adelaide?
I got 99.90% ATAR and UMAT score is 172 with section 1 (52), section 2(60). Now what’s my chance at Flinders?Last year, Adelaide used UMAT only for interviews and the cut off was around 83%ile which you're slightly under so unless it drops it looks like that might be out . You stand a good chance for a Flinders offer however.
