    what IS a 'good' mark for the UMAT?

    keep in mind those are minimum scores. to get in with those scores you would need a very very good interview. no, 80%ile is not enough to land you an interview anywhere unless you're rural or GWS (with excellent s1 and 2 scores). alternatively, if you're from WA or TAS and are applying to your...

    what IS a 'good' mark for the UMAT?

    JCU interviews are mostly handed out on the basis of a written application and where you live. they have very little to do with your predicted ATAR (but they still request one nonetheless). it's actually really quite hard to get an interview there because they show very little interest in city...

    Medicine at UNSW and UWS

    vancouver of course no but sweeping statements are just retarded, especially when they're such things as "UWS I'll have you know can provide a better quality education than any other university in the state of New South Wales"

    yay let's make a whole array of uncited data points to lead us into the conclusion of UWS being the best university in NSW

    what IS a 'good' mark for the UMAT?

    generally you will be wanting the upper end of the 80's (percentiles) or higher, but it depends on which universities you are applying to and where you live. there are significant bonuses depending on where you live. for instance, to UNSW rural applicants require much lower scores than city...

    Is it difficult to get into optometry

    i think there is also flinders uni in SA. there is a post grad course at melbourne as well. but yeah, i'm pretty sure there's only 2 "undergrad" schools. i put undergrad in quotes there because technically flinders is grad entry, except you are guaranteed entry into the grad optom program...

    Is it difficult to get into optometry

    the raw score is not out of anything. 195 will get you 98-99 percentile i think. you need much higher for 100 percentile (e.g. a friend of mine got 200 last year and got 99 percentile i believe?) 99 percentile is a very wide raw mark range in the umat.

    Do i need to do the STAT or UMAT?

    Do i need to do the STAT or UMAT?

    very few physio/pharm schools req umat (afaik there is only 1 physio and 1 pharm school that require umat?). they just put those courses in the umat category so ppl can apply to every school possible. but yes, all optom schools and almost all med schools req umat. curiously enough, the majority...

    UMAT scores

    word but yeah my own umat scores were quite a bit higher than my medentry percentiles so i'm not really one to judge. common sense would suggest the medentry cohort is smarter than the actual umat cohort but the fact that time limits aren't enforced and ppl are doing it in a favourable...

    Do i need to do the STAT or UMAT?

    LOL no. pharm is probably the easiest of the allied health courses to get into (except medical science). low 80's if you're willing to go interstate. there's far too many pharm schools around atm. not a good time to be doing pharm. fyi, physio does not req umat for anywhere except monash i...

    UMAT scores

    don't get me wrong, prep percentiles certainly show a correlation but i found that mine fluctuated greatly. as for the difficulty of the actual umat compared to prep, it really depends on the section and the year of the umat. although i did the umat in 08, a particularly good example is last...

    UMAT scores

    not to say it doesn't have it's fair share of scrubs tho lol. medentry prep workshop had sooo many idiots who couldn't grasp the simplest concepts. tbh i thought prep was a waste of time as the most i found it did for me was familiarise myself with the types of q's. plenty of people in this...

    UMAT scores

    just a disclaimer, take these percentiles seriously with a grain of salt. the real scores vary way too much. some people i know who got like 95%ile in every practice test ended up getting low 70's-80's in the real test, which is strange considering you would expect the medentry cohort to be much...
