UAC also like to do this type of thing! Just to make an already stressful journey even worse!!

Anyone know if conditional offers exist for Tas Rural students + when they come out?

 

[bethanbince]

They offer Bonded places to 30% of the cohort. Otherwise no, they don’t

 

[DrDrLMG!]

Anyone know if conditional offers exist for Tas Rural students + when they come out?

Traditionally yes, but I think for rural INTERSTATE students more than locals? That said I got my (rural local) offer in early Dec (before ATAR was released but I wasn’t relying on ATAR, applying with GPA instead - so probably not an indicative guide).

Conditional offers have been as early as late November.

Best guide would be to look at offer data threads for the past few years and see if those reporting conditional rural offers were local, interstate, or both.

Any help would be appreciated but I accidentally misspelt a street name for the rural application. Does anyone know whether this will affect the application and if there is anything I can to fix this?. I'm nor necessarily keen on talking with the school as that may alert them but if I have to to fix it that's fine.

I think it is best that you talk to UTAS about this - in my opinion, it shouldn't matter too much (but don't take my word for it - it may be better to make sure it's correct and rectified).

Are you concerned talking to UTAS will detrimentally impact your application?

I've emailed them about it but my worry was that mentioning it might cause problems in my application (like them denying it).

Very unlikely. Admissions processes can be ruthless but not that ruthless!

 

[SLM]

Oh what luxuries Tas students have!!
I had 99.80 & 100%ile UMAT, UTas offered me $20,000/year scholarship, then told me I wasn't good enough for med (albeit I wasn't Tas).

Does anyone know what ATAR for interstate , no bonuses / no special consideration for UTAS was for 2024?

Hello everyone! I’m currently an international student in my second year of a Medical Research degree at UTAS. I’m considering applying for medicine, and I understand there are reserved spots available for Medical Research students. Im pretty sure there is about 12 places for us. I’d love to hear about anyone else’s experience with this pathway or any insights into how competitive it might be. Since we’re not required to take the GAMSAT, I’m curious about what other factors might come into play for selection, like would being an international student have higher chance to get in due to the huge amount of money we would be paying and how was the application process. Thanks in advance for any advice!

I’ve emailed the university multiple times, but their responses haven’t been very helpful—they mostly just copy and paste information from the website.

Have you confirmed that international students are eligible for this pathway? That would be the best place to start.

We don’t get many international students here unfortunately. Your best bet might be to contact the TUMSS International Student representative and see if they can reach out to the current cohort and get some feedback for you.

I know it says 2022 in that link but it’s definitely not!

Adding to DrLMG's reply.

You're asking whether higher chance, but higher relative to whom?
All med schools including UTas have separate intake/quotas for domestic and international applicants, so you don't compete against domestic.

Generally the entrance marks for int'l are indeed lower than domestic, but that's not directly related to int'l paying huge fees. It's because the ratio of int'l applicants to places available is lower.

Hi sorry I didn't make myself clear ! With this pathway to medicine, there are 12 spots available as mentioned before so I would be competing against everyone in my cohort only. However, I was not sure if I would be competing against the international students in my cohort, or everyone (including domestic).

Okay, so the "12 places for us" was meant for the MedRes cohort.

IMO it's meant to be 12 CSP places for domestic. If UTas admits you into medicine it'd be as int'l full-fee and should be outside of these 12.

However, since I'm not sure, UTas could play oddball and admit you as part of i.e. if you rank among the top 12 MedRes students UTas would switch a CSP place to you int'l full-fee. That would be one (or more) places taken from domestic students, who wouldn't pleased if they find out.

Btw Medical Deans data show UTas 2024 med cohort is 121 domestic CSP + 26 int'l full-fee.

 

[MayaInk]

Mmm you might be right, I only said 12 places as this was the email I received from the uni, however, they have not made it clear either. Thank you for your help !

"The Bachelor of Medical Research is a not a quota course, and as such there is no predicted or maximum intake of students each year. Based on previous intakes, the numbers can vary greatly year on year, but is generally ~50-60 students.
There are approximately 13 places in each intake of the the BMedScMD for students applying via the BMeRes Preferred Entry Pathway.
Detailed medicine course entry requirements, including subject prerequisites for those wishing to apply via the Graduate Entry Pathways are available on the Medicine page of the Course and Unit Handbook
