Searching for UAI stats for Newcastle Uni (BMed) (1 Viewer)

[Grandor]

Ok, So I've done much searching about BMed at Newcastle Uni.
I'm currently yr11, but thinking ahead.

The most accurate UAI cutoff I can find is 93 for 2004, is this correct?

Now, 93 is the cutoff. But I assume many people will try and go for it.
So realistically you WILL need a higher UAI to actually get in? Is this correct?

And I understand since it is my local (home) University I get 4 points for some reason.
So would this make the cutoff 89?

I'm unclear on these points. Please assist.

93.8 it is. And no you dont get bonus points for med.

Thanks mate, So why dont I get bonus points for med?
And what realistically would I need to get in?

UAI wont matter so long as its >93.8. Umat and interview are very important. Not sure why you dont, prob cos it is low enough as it is.

Just some final questions:
What exactly is the whole deal with the UMAT exam and what is the purpose?
Also what is the purpose and content of the interview?

Thankyou.

r u sure? Tracey Bristow told me i still got bonus points when i saw her last year. I gess it could hav changed scince then i dunno

 

[Lexicographer]

Tracey Bristow said that you get a different cutoff, but not through the same system as the ones listed above. Rural students are admitted under a seperate category with a lower cutoff.
