UQ UQ Dentistry: Admissions General Discussion

[christinaa123]

Does anyone know where I can access this information from? I just wanna confirm that it's actually 3743, before making changes to my preferences.

I'm in the provisional entry to medicine at UQ and I got this information in an email so that I can select an undergraduate degree. Probably try call up the uni to check, before you change preferences.

UQ would be unlikely to adopt such a policy without prior notice for 2022. They might introduce an interview but for a university it's better to select based on score as it's easier.

Yes, they have to notice way before introducing the interview. But they may adopt interview down the track because they seem using SJT as an interview-liked measure to assess the candidates.

Does UQ contact for UQ Dent offers or is it from QTAC on 28th Jan for NSW students

wait, isn't the ucat have a max score of 3600? or is it including the SJT sections as well?

It has to include SJT

Hey, is there a chance of getting a dentistry offer at UQ, GPA: 7.0 FTE, UCAT 2490 (642 SJ), Rural: RA3.
Not sure where I should put UQ in my QTAC preferences.

 

[iDoubtful]

Would a 3210+569=3779UCAT be enough for UQ dentistry if anyone knows?
Non Rural, School-leaver from QLD
Estimated ATAR: 97-99 (+2 adjustment factors from specialist maths)

(Not trying to show off, legitimately curious since my UCAT score is only 36points above the cut-off)

Hi MSOers

Is there anyone can confirm that there were only 19 domestic school leavers in 2022 intake and why it was so low?

From: here

Applicant background	Number of students	Percentage of all students
(A) Higher education study	9	12.33%
(B) Vocational Education and Training (VET) study	0	0%
(C) Work and life experience	0	0%
(D) Recent secondary education
Admitted solely on the basis of ATAR	0	0%
Admitted where ATAR and additional criteria were considered	19	26.03%
Admitted on the basis of other criteria only and ATAR was not a factor	0	0%
International students	45	61.64%
Total	73	100%

Confirmed and its because the rest were international students. So its better to think of it as 70% of domestic places went to domestic high school leavers.

What surely that's a mistake? How can it be that UQ trains only 19 domestic dentists a year?? Why is the ratio of domestics: internationals so skewed? I've never seen numbers like that before in my life

Not a mistake, it was 19 Y12s + 9 non-standards = 28.

Can't find QTAC 2022 detail stats yet, only 2021 > https://www.qtac.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Semester_1_2021_Summary.xlsx

Griffith Dent : 2 Qld-Y12 + 116 Others = 118
JCU Dent : ...... 30 Qld-Y12 + 37 Others = 67
UQ Dent : ......... 5 Qld-Y12 + 22 Others = 27
(Note presumably QTAC stats are domestic only and "Others" include non-standards & interstate Y12s)

I see, thanks dotwingz and A1
it appears more places were offered and accepted but quite a few didn’t enrol.
