JPM WSU/CSU JPM: UCAT Section Weighting Discussion and Questions

[dorisj]

Interstate cutoff for rural was higher, its cause hey have an in state quote for interviews this year, 20% interstate and 80% intrastate

Hey just wonder do you know whether they still have this rule this year? Did they put this rule explicitly on their website previously in 2019?

I know of this rule and thought it was applicable to non-rural. Don't know if it was/is applicable to rural also.

Iirc it was published on both WSU & CSU websites - 50% GWS, 30% NSW, 20% interstate. The first two combine to 80% as @Scrivo mentioned.

Im fairly sure it was confirmed that NSW rural have a lower cut-off than interstate rural when it comes to interview invites for JPM this year

Hey just wonder from what you know, what is the cut-off for interstate rural in 2021?

CSU medicine is 80% rural NSW and 20% interstate. This was confirmed by the uni.

Hi just wondering if WSU formula for UCAT is still used after interview or if they revert to normal UCAT scores?

What would be the new weighted formula for WSU's UCAT threshold this year as AR has been removed?

It's likely to be 0.5xVR + 0.25xDM + 0.25QR (i.e. VR counts twice as much)
or 0.6xVR + 0.2xDM + 0.2xQR (VR 3 times as much).

Myself I think the latter is more likely since VR has counted 3 times to date.

Do you think CSU will do same calculation as WSU?

A1 replies: Since WSU and CSU are a joint program I'm fairly sure CSU uses the same weighting formula.
