UMAT registering? (1 Viewer)

[mei_ling03]

hey this might sound a little stupid but only just recently i've decided i really want to get into med. i've submitted an application of interest however i don't know where to go from there. our careers advisor is on leave.... can anyone tell me what to do (i.e. payment for the test etc)?

thanks

I'd suggest u u goto this site: http://www.acer.edu.au/unitest/index.html
and then browse the info on UMAT, it should tell u all u need.

yep I'm doing it too.

You basically got to register your interest (online) at the UNSW med site
http://med.unsw.edu.au
and after that, download the application/CV.
with that you gotta answer some basic kind of questions.
ie. what are your hobbies?
other languages?
voluntary and involuntary work?
what qualities do you think doctors should possess?

etc etc
after that, you need an academic referrer ie. your principal to predict your UAI and write some additional stuff on you. probably about school involvement..

that's due july 25

and what's due next friday ie. june 13
is the actual fee to take the exam.
you get that from http://www.acer.edu.au and follow the UMAT links. It's $120. you can pay online with a credit card or whatever.
late fee of $50.

hope that helped you

ARGHH how scary
you can also get sample questions.

"3. What work experience, paid work or voluntary work did you undertake while in school?"

Damn, i've haven't worked a day in my life. Does anyone else think this will hinder my chances of getting in? Did anyone here get in without putting anything for that question? Thanks.

no the cv is just a short intro about urself, the selection critiria is umat, uai and interview.

I did like 1 day of work. The CV isn't pivotal, but by the same token don't do a crappy job of it...

That's good to hear.
