no you can do the gamsat in the second last or last year of your degree and apply during the last year if you get the necessary gamsat cutoff.

then you will have an interview around august and if successful you will be granted a provisional offer.

but they still expect you to finish your undergrad degree with a 5.5 GPA after that before they give you a final offer.

Just to confirm - you're allowed to do the GAMSAT in the penultimate and in the last year and choose to submit the better result roite?

its not that simple as applying with the better score. unis get the score directly from ACER and i know for the umat, unis take the most recent score (except UNSW iirc) even though ur score is valid for 2 years. so say u get 85 first time, as soon as take the test again that score gets wiped clean and whatever u get on ur 2nd try is what the unis get from ACER.

nope. Wrong.

I applied with UMAT as did a few friends, this year. I used the most recent but I have friends that used the score from the year before (the latest wouldn't have got them any interviews) so like lol.

 

[OmmU]

hahaha yes

Hey screw you guys, I don't have suicidal tendencies... Yet that is ;P

OP do UMAT, if you're not rural you will struggle to get into non-rural orientated dent unis (others ex CSU and JCU). Other than that do your own research, it'll help you make your mind up on the uni preference and you'll learn what you have to do to be eligible. Get in early, JCU and CSU have supplementary applications you have to submit around August->October.

And as a FYI Dent at CSU is only at Orange. Oral Health is Wagga campus.

 

[OmmU]

Also, the rural orientated schools are lenient with ATAR. Generally minimum of 90. Other unis you're going to need 99+ to have a really good chance.

im saying they changed it again so u can no longer use the better score since its only valid for 1 year now.
