Bos'ers, how many people from your school were absent because of UMAT?

At my school, there were 35/135 Year 12's absent due to it.

Only 3 surprisingly. Would've thought close to 10 but no.

Well we had 116/163 absent yesterday BUT a lot of people are absent simply because trials are next week (like me). Maybe around 60 sat the UMAT?- this is a guess though

Wow! That's actually, WAY fewer than I expected!

Also, your cohort's just 135?!

Yep it's a small cohort haha.

I know that in my grade, at least 45-ish want Med/Dent and a further 35-ish are going to do it to keep their options open.

Thats a HUGE amount to be away at one time, even if it is the trials. Is this normal for anyone else around trial/UMAT time?

Yep. I bet tomorrow (last day of school before trials), about 30 people will show up.

Thats suprising - doesnt the school try and crack down on it? At mine, about 20ish/185 didnt show up on the days leading up to the trials and the school chucked a fit.

I think I'm the first person from my school to do the UMAT this decade, possibly ever. Sub 500 ranked school represent mofos.

That's so odd-people wouldn't dream of not coming to schools before trials (probably because we're still learning things for them though).

I didn't do the UMAt but according to a kid in my chem class who did it, he only saw one other person from our year there and like 20 something from local private school. I know a few people in my year did STAT instead for Veterinary studies.
