med at uws, did hsc in 2011

atar was 99.6 but for uws the atar system is that of a threshold, if u ace ur umat and the subsequent interview, the only aspect of ur atar that counts is if u get 95.5 or over for non GWS students or 93.5 or over for GWS

UMAT weighted was between 151-155 can't remember exactly, the cut-off fluctuates from year to year but iirc for GWS its like 135+ and for non-GWS 145+

Didn't really study that much, i did medentry but i honestly didn't make full use of the resources apart from like 3 practice papers and half a dozen drills

Thanks for the quick reply! Really helpful and nice job getting into Med And were you GWS or non-GWS?

 

[Kiraken]

I am GWS im sure you are familiar with the selection process for UWS med, in which case you should be aware that UMAT and the interview are of particular importance.

Whilst its true that you cannot really study for particular aspects of UMAT I do recommend that you by some avenue get your hands on some practice papers and questuons to at least familiarise yourself with the type of questions you might get. For the interview I cannot say much save that you think carefully about not only your motivations to pursue the career but what makes you in particular suitable, whats skills and characteristics do you possess that would be useful etc. Also make sure you have a more realistic idea of what a career in medicine entails.

2011 ATAR: 98.75
2012 GPA: 6.875
2012 UMAT: 80th percentile / 144 weighted* Note I was in Adv Sci @ UWS so gained entry into Med via this scheme, hence the lower UMAT score.
Received first round offer during main round, non bonded, CSP.
Prep: 10 Medentry papers + Acer papers
