They're not even mutually exclusive? Lol

can't give much info for obvious reasons, but i'll run through the basics. 2 x 15 mins stations. 1 station personal questions, (motivation for med, interests, stuff about yourself etc.) 1 station responding to a scenario (and a few other questions here about yourself) before each station there...

With your current marks, JCU, and possibly UQ (They give ATAR bonus points for certain things - check this up) If you can end up boosting your ATAR to about 99, you should get interviews at UNSW, Monash, Adelaide in the 2nd round. (but only just)

Pretty unlikely :( My friend got 61/60/63 (93%) last year, non-GWS, no interview

considering it pops up on your academic record containing your band performance on every subject, would not recommend

Getting an interview is based entirely on umat/predicted atar(1st round) or umat/atar (2nd round). [or GPA] The application form is not considered, although once you get into the interview room it's obviously going to matter a lot as many of the questions they ask are shaped around information...

Re: Experienced & Affordable ENG ADV (96) tutoring | Free upcoming seminar at Parrama I don't think I missed the point, I was merely opting for more transparency in the sharing of opinions and experiences so people know what to expect from a service. The rest of your post is fair enough...

Re: Experienced & Affordable ENG ADV (96) tutoring | Free upcoming seminar at Parrama Understandable, but on a forum page allowing comments on a service, people should be allowed to express whatever opinion they have on a tutor - whether good or bad. I think your attitude hasn't really changed...

Just make your second text a visual, that makes writing it up easier (literally just need to memorise the picture in your head and a few techniques) and also won't push the word count too high compared to say another written text or a film

Bump! Updated for 2015 :) (sorry I can't provide info for non-standards, it's much harder to determine for many unis since you have to factor in GPAs as well)

UNSW, UWS, JMP, UTAS all require separate applications Monash, UAdel, Flinders, UQ, Griffith, do not.

jmp, uws definitely. adelaide not first round, (need around 95 UMAT) and will need a higher atar for second round (it is highly competitive for interstaters here!) monash only gives second rounds for interstaters and the interview requirement is similar to unsw.

unsw no chance, unless you boost your real atar close to 99. (to get a 2nd round interview) uws, jmp, i need to know your breakdown

80th percentile Down from 98th last year Looks like prep actually does help hahahaha

Of course you can, any student in year 12 or post year-12 can sit the UMAT. The other option is GAMSAT, which will probably be tougher considering your non-science background
