What medical schools within aus/nz offer entry to undergraduate med (non-standard entry) that either don't require umat, or have low umat requirements. Thanks

Hey Callum, how are you going? =)

I believe that James Cook university does not require UMAT, Bond Uni has low UMAT requirement but it is full fee, and Adelaide University has a relatively lower requirement compared to other uni's such as UNSW, Monash, Newcastle.

UQ also offers it, I believe? I'm not sure about the UMAT result required, though..

You need a raw mark of 50 in each section.

thats the minimum. realistically it was around 180 the year i sat the umat. since then i heard it dropped due to them increasing their intake.

USyd doesn't require UMAT.

USyd doesn't require UMAT.

Although its arguably harder to get into 'undergrad' med @ usyd then any other undergrad med program.

thats because theres 20 spots compared to other unis that offer 200+. it is considered hard because there is serious competition for those 20 spots between the 99.95+ applicants who didnt do well on the UMAT or didnt sit it.
However, if i recall correctly, they started using the UMAT as a criteria for entry this year because they need to distinguish between the many 99.95 ATAR applicants where previously a few were able to get 100.

Well mathematically from 22 people in the state to roughly 40 now.
