how does medical school work? (1 Viewer)

[hellowellohehe]

Hi can someone please tell me how to get into a med school, because whenever I try and find something on it different sources tell me different things. Also does anyone know what atar would be a minimum to achieve to try and get into med school, or at the least have a decent enough chance? does anyone also know the acceptance rate for med? thankyou so much !!

ucat: 94-99th perctile
atar: <99.3 (99.65 to be safe)
Hella cocurricular

If ur rural or stayed in a rural area for 5 years consecutively (or 10 cumulatively)
Atar: 91.5 cutoff- (96 to be safe)
85-90%tile ucat
some cocurriculars,

These are general guidelines from who i've seen actually get in. I'm sure theres people who have achieved lower but may have compensated through other means

thankyou !! is there any international student leniency for getting in? or it is the same?

I believe so. Look it up online. I'm unsure on the specifics as I myself am not an international student

i think you can get away with quite a bit lower as a rural student

I have seen cases. But best not to take chances imo.

eh. Not my intention to bludge the hsc simply because I have rural status. I want to get a decent atar regardless. idk what that atar will be, but I'm not gonna limit myself to 91.5.

nah there are a lot of med schools that accept higher ucat for a lower atar
eg. jcu accepted 96 in 2023 and rejected some 99s (they don't need ucat) but they have a topical-focused med syllabus which isn't appealing for some, for the jmp (une and uon) program pretty sure its just a 94.3 hurdle but would have to check on that
