Also do you need extra curriculars to get in?

Everyone who got into medicine what was your UMAT and ATAR? Thanks.

Place offers at UNSW are based on Atar+Umat+Interview weighted 1/3rd each. Extracurriculum is maybe 1/10th of the interview assessment so worth around 3percent overall, could be important or unimportant depending how close you are to the place cut-off.

The video clip on UNSW Med website says for 2016 successful applicants
- Standard: ATAR median 99.6 lowest 97.5, UMAT median 65.4 = 196 overall (98%ile)
- Rural: ATAR median 97.6 lowest 91.6, UMAT median 58.6 = 176 overall (86%ile).

Your Atar goal 98+ is a bit low if you are non-rural. Can get in but you will need 98+%ile Umat and an excellent interview to make up.

Rest in peace. Thanks for info.

EDIT:

Is the 65.4 median the marks out of 134?

Is the 65.4 median the marks out of 134?

The 134 Umat questions are in three sections with a high score of ~100 each section, potentially 300 max Overall Score (but very very few get over 240-250).

UNSW Med still uses the old style of average section score i.e. OS/3 so median 65.4 means 196 OS out of ~300.
