hey guys,
i was just wondering whoever got into this course wat uai did you get, what was your mark for the umat test and how did yous find the interview.

 

[rusty_rouge]

ummm, from what I can remember:

My percentiles were: 84, 95 and 93 (can't remember my raw scores, sorry)

and UAI was 95.15.

Interview was alright - nervewracking, but very interesting, and definately a learning experience~!

 

[sladehk]

percentiles 98, 60 , 80
uai 97.95
interview: gah thought i flunked it

 

[sladehk]

guilty. you?

[sladehk]

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

i toldu he was interesting ... lolz..

i once sat thru his steroids lecture.. and basically the way he learnt about all the side effects was on actual patients or family members when sumfing went wrong.. this lecture was in the middle of 2nd yr.. and i still remember it

can someone plz explain the regional entry scheme....i live in the region and i wanna know the cutoff uai....what u need for umat and what else i can do plz help...since i wanna get into medicine 2008 so desperately...any tips med undergrads?

 

[sladehk]

you still need 92 uai minimum
the scheme allows you to get into the interview round with uamt of around 170?
if you don't have the scheme i think you need like 190ish umat to get into teh interview round

 

[bmwz4]

is getting 190 in umat hard? so if u get over 92 uai and 190 umat r u bound to be interviewed or what and if u have sat the RET

 

[sladehk]

depends on the competition i guess

 

[krayzie_]

Just wondering what the interview was like? Did they address current health issues? Or is it different

I know what GAMSAT interviews are like.. *shudder*

 

[ari89]

Unless it's specifically excluded, i don't see why it wouldn't be eligible under RET?

It is specifially excluded

 

[rusty_rouge]
