Hmm.. my ATAR is somewhere between 94-96, but my GPA is 7.
I think that means I'll be eligible for UQ and Griffith (with a better UMAT lol #nextyear), but what about La Trobe and Adelaide?
Will La Trobe/Adelaide use my GPA or will they reject me based on ATAR?
For Adelaide, your ATAR is above the threshold but if you don't have a UMAT high enough for UQ, you probably won't for Adelaide either (at least for first round interviews).
From the Adelaide 2019 admissions guide (located here: https://health.adelaide.edu.au/sites/default/files/docs/2019-dentistry-admissions-guide.pdf):Hullo, judging by the quoted posts, does that mean that Adelaide accepts either ATAR or GPA for NSL? Or have the rules changed since last year ):
This would suggest they'll only look at your GPA if you have at least half a FTE year of tertiary study completed - but remember academic rank is a hurdle requirement only, and once you've received an interview your admissions chances will come down to your interview performance.Higher Education applicants are still required to sit the UMAT and gain a competitive score to be invited to an interview. The University uses the applicant’s Grade Point Average in lieu of an ATAR. To meet the minimum academic threshold for the Higher Education entry pathway, you must have completed at least half a year full-time equivalent higher education study, achieving at least a credit average (a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 5.0 or more). You must also meet the prerequisite subject requirements.

After 1 year of FTE tertiary study, UQ exclusively uses your GPA. For an equivalent of the 99 ATAR/OP1 threshold needed, a 6.5 GPA from non-UQ universities or 5.8 GPA from UQ is required.Hey everyone, what sort of ATAR/GPA + UCAT will be above the threshold for UQ Dent as a NSL? Thanks!

orFor prior tertiary study, entry ranks are assigned on the basis of a cumulative grade point average (GPA) achieved over the entire period of tertiary study, however, UQ’s Admission Rules also permit results obtained more than 5 years before the program commencement to be disregarded from the calculation of the entry rank. This rule can only be applied if at least one full-time year of tertiary study is completed within the recent 5 years.
In your situation, this means that one rank will be calculated based on all your tertiary study and another rank will be calculated using only the studies from the recent 5 year period (for 2021 admissions, this means all study from 2016-2020) and the best of these ranks will be used.
If you complete one full-time year of bachelor level study at UQ after all tertiary study at other institutions, you will derive two entry ranks: one based on your cumulative GPA from your entire tertiary history and another based only on your UQ results. Whichever rank benefits your application the most will be used.
You will need a minimum cumulative GPA of 5.8 from your year of UQ studies to achieve an entry rank of 99.
