Is it possible for me to get into Medicine? (1 Viewer)

Hi. So I completed the HSC last year and had an ATAR of 96.8. I didn't take the UMAT because even though I wanted to do Medicine I didn't think I would be able to get a high enough ATAR for it.
At the moment, I'm doing Actuarial Studies. Would it be better to stick with my degree for the year and do UMAT, or just defer for the year and do UMAT? I'm just wondering if I do bad this year if that will be taken into consideration over my ATAR?

If you do badly this year UWS and UNCLE will just take your ATAR afaik. So you'll be fine. ^_^

Thank you. What about other universities you know of? Also in your experience, is my ATAR high enough for medicine?

I dunno brah. I got to UWS.

You ATAR is okay but not competitive for UNSW or other places.

I got into UWS with ~95 though.

Was your acceptance based of your ATAR+UMAT or GPA? And what UMAT did you get? Also, do you think if I studied a lot for UMAT I would do alright? Sorry for all the questions.

ATAR + UMAT

Maybe... I didn't study that much...
