only one undergrad med university in vic which is monash. i think the cutoff was in the low 90 percentiles. cbf looking it up but i think last year's entry was 93%ile?

In my opinion the 90th percentile (which is roughly a 180 raw score) is a good mark in the UMAT.

Dragonmaster takes the lead.

I didnt realise 180 would give u 90th %tile.

not bad i guess.

I thought 160ish was like 55th %tile last yr.
actually pretty sure it was.

160 was 65%ile

65 %tile sounds right. Just remember the bell curve (think it was mentioned before). In the raw marks ranged 170 - 180, thats pretty much each mark higher = one percentile higher. Then it gets to a few marks every percentile in 180+. In my year someone got 195 and thats like 98%tile, 210 is 99%tile and 100%tile was like >214.

For ppl that are not rural, usually need >175 raw marks to get an interview, and >185 gets you pretty much interviews in ALL uni's.

I heard last year that a raw score of around 210 would get you on the 100th percentile but usually in the past it has ben quite higher.

Thats the Raw UMAT score required plus the corresponding ATAR for an interview @ UNSW

Are those raw UMAT scores out of 134?
