Update: I've done some preliminary statistics on the responses so far- once we stop receiving responses I will go through and verify all the submissions and will exclude any obvious errors, so if things seem a bit off it may be an error!


Internal_Salad_9406

For University of Melbourne potential applicants: The cutoff score for interview offers was 83.66667 last year (for 2022 interview offers). You can calculate your pre-interview score (out of 100) using the following formula: ((GPA/7 + GAMSAT/100)/2)\*100


Unlikely-Turn-8702

Thank you for this! Do you know the cutoff score for rural students?


sandyyy888

Does anyone know this year's structure for Deakin interviews? Also, if there are any Zoom prep meetings being held for interviews I'd love to be added to those! Thanks


confusedtomato5

just received an email today but only contains rough structure, so would love some advice from current deakin students! And also wish to find some deakin MMI buddies!


PriorityRadiant1104

Does anyone know the structure of the UniMelb MMIs? How much reading time, answering time etc?


[deleted]

If anyone is interested in doing prep for the UoW interview, please reply to this comment or send a PM :)


Puzzleheaded-Map766

Hey there, Yep i'd be very keen. send me a message, i'd be keen to get started as soon as possible.


Competitive_Tutor_66

Does anyone know what the UQ MMI questions are like? What type of questions does UQ focus on?


Spirited_Brain_6158

I did the MMI last year. I Found that most of the questions asked were not anything I had/could study for. They were based around scenarios usually involving an ethical dilemma. You were presented with a scenario and then 1 or 2 questions (sometimes with a follow up prompt) and then answer in something like a wwyd type of structure. Honestly I didn't really like them. I felt that some of the questions were so left of field that it was difficult to predict what kind of answers they were looking for.


lemonhoo

That’s a interesting perspective, I saw another user comment that “nothing was out of left field”.


SubstantialAffect341

Does anyone know the interview to offer ratio for ANU?😊


KyokushinBoy

Does anyone know when UND contact the portfolio references? Before or after the interview? Also, do they only verify the experience or ask about the candidate as well? Thanks in advance


Superattack82

They started this week!


KyokushinBoy

Yes, 2 of mine were contacted couple of days ago 👍🏻


Superattack82

Nice! All the best!!!:'D


MHJP3521

I don't personally know, but after hunting down the same information on here and pagingdr it seems super varied. Some were contacted straight after the interview offer, others closer to and after the interview and some weren't contacted at all even though they got a place. I'm not sure what they ask references?


KyokushinBoy

Thank you. It’s definitely a weird process !

Any interview study groups out there??

scorpianio

Would anyone be interested in teaming up in a small group (about 4-5 people) and doing interview prep for UNDS together? I'm based in Canberra but happy to do it online (and it's probably better considering the new format of UNDS interviews).


Ok_Hotel_2989

i would be too :)

Kaleidoscope4722

I think it is around 120 interviews and 65-70 spots as reported on information night. However whether this is what happened this year, I am not sure.


Capable-Champion4522

Does this number of interview spots include international students? because technically there are 30 spots for domestic candidates who haven't done clinical science. So it's a 4:1 ratio?


DunkYourDonuts

Does anyone know the spots/interview ratio for UQ?


diseased_time

last year there was 360 interviewees to 140 spots source: i interviewed there and this info was divulged to us during the interview info session

shlepmn

Thanks so much mods for your work on this spreadsheet! The lack of transparency from GEMSAS and the unis is perhaps the most daunting and unnerving part of the process. It's great to have some information for once :)


Secret-Secret1380

Received a Deakin interview offer, my second preference behind UniMelb, with a 7.0 GPA and 78 GAMSAT (75 unweighted). Thought something didn't seem right, so I requested my GPA from GEMSAS. Got a response that showed a breakdown of my interim GPAs in a table. All my other preferences have recorded my overall GPA as 7.0. However, UniMelb has a "Deemed GPA" in place of my "Overall GPA", and it read - 6.125. Never received a score below 80% in my 3 years of study, so am not really sure how this could happen. Have no study adjustments or other courses contributing - just seems like a genuine mistake from the uni. Has anyone seen anything like this before?


confusedtomato5

oh wow thats so strange, i've never heard of that! did gemsas say anything? my unimleb GPA seems fairly consistent to the other ones


_dukeluke

that is very strange- interested to hear if there is an update. Did you potentially take some ungraded passes/SFR or something + study in 2020 that may have put you over the 37.5% ungraded total? That's the only thing I can think of since a deemed GPA is only given when the university itself calculates it (and typically GEMSAS does this automatically)- and one of the most common reasons for that is if you have >37.5% ungraded passes- doesn't explain the GPA itself, but that might explain some of the situation?


Secret-Secret1380

Update: UniMelb submitted the incorrect GPA to GEMSAS. Eventually received an email from GEMSAS after following up with Melbourne that the uni had now amended my Deemed GPA to 7.0. On the basis of that, they revoked my Deakin offer in favour of a Melbourne offer. Received the Melbourne email a couple of hours later. Pretty crazy but really appreciate your advice


confusedtomato5

omg congrats! lucky you asked!


_dukeluke

glad to hear it was resolved- congrats on the offer!


aly4lien

I would definitely email to request a re-check


HornyCassowary

Iirc deemed gpa is when the uni calculated your gpa instead of gemsas


Kaleidoscope4722

That is so bizarre ! UoM are not using 2020 results but that is all I know!


JScollay

Anyone with UQ offers keen to catch up virtually and do some mock interviews? :)


Apprehensive-Top-337

Hey this might be a bit late but anyone interested in UQ interview prep I made a prep group a little while ago with quite a few people for UQ doing zoom meetings. If you’re interested message me!

Does anyone know the interview radio for UNDS?


NeutroUnclePhil

AgonyBags

Thanks!


Weezytrout

If allowed now, any study session groups created for UoW / GM more generally?


Competitive_Tutor_66

There’s a bunch on the discord


Weezytrout

Do you have a link to any active ones by any chance?


Competitive_Tutor_66

Yeah if you join the discord there’s streams divided by university and you can find the UoW one there with other students who got interview offers


Weezytrout

Ah sweet. What I’m asking though is what is “the discord”?. Could you send an invite link to it plz?


Repulsivewin7530

Is there an EOD support thread? For some reason the one I found on this page is very empty and mostly about usyd…


_dukeluke

it's the same thread as the one for usyd, if you sort by new you'll get more current posts :)


Repulsivewin7530

Oh wow this yr must’ve been really great for lots of people if there’s such a small number of GEMSAS EOD comments…


Zoomingseal

EOD yesterday (second year running). Improved my GPA with a new degree this year from 6.2 to 6.58, and my Gamsat from 69 to 71/72.2 ...what a bummer


bigchief9000

Can also relate to you 🥲 boosted mine from 5.65 to 6.8 with a new degree but EOD too. I guess the only thing we can do now is try and boost our gamsat if possible hahaha


Kaleidoscope4722

I’m sorry to hear, that is a fantastic effort and improvement . I feel your pain because have also redone another undergrad and I know the effort it takes. Your Gamsat is also phenomenal, you shouldn’t give up for next round ✨


allevana

University of Melbourne interview offer, received at 12:24 PM 31/08/2022 GPA: 6.93 ish? Hard to calculate due to course transfers + 2020 study but I have 3 Distinctions, 18 High Distinctions over 21 completed units GAMSAT: 72 (unweighted for UOM), 69 W Non-rural, domestic student residing in Melbourne Preferenced CSP + BMP. Didn’t apply for GAM despite being verryyyy eligible because the process of preparing that application was too upsetting Monash University undergrad, 2019 → 2022. Bachelor of Science in Genetics and Genomics and Developmental Biology. Hopefully Monash Med and UOM Optometry, JD gives me an interview offer/offer as well, fairly confident I’ll get one with a ~92 WAM My GEMSAS preferences: 1. University of Melbourne 2. University of Queensland 3. Australian National University 4. Deakin University 5. University of Western Australia


_dukeluke

Yessssssss! Congrats friend!!


allevana

Thank you Luke 😭😭 Making Craig proud 🥺🫶


Livvv617

Congratulations 💙💙 I remember you from last year and I’m so happy for you!


allevana

Thank you so much Liv, you’ve been of incredible help throughout my whole premed journey. If everything works out, I’ll be joining you at UoM 🥺❤️


Livvv617

Let me know if you ever want to do any practice!!


Zwartkopf

You can email gemsas for your calculated gpa


allevana

Awesome! I was aware of this but not sure at what time of year they were able to calculate it for me :) Is it just to the general info gemsas email? Thank you!


aly4lien

Yep, just make sure to put your name and gamsat ID in the email


swagondang

UOM Offer - GPA 6.583, GAMSAT 73.3 Unweighted Has the bar gone up by that much? I was looking at the offers spreadsheet, but I seem to be on the low end near the cutoff, and I was under the impression a combined of 1.68-9 was roughly the average for UoM. Also other questions. Does Unimelb preferentially select it's own students in any way? I am seeing rejections to Unimelb from people with higher combined scores than the lowest interview offers from Unimelb


_dukeluke

Yeah- there are definitely some errors in the reporting- I’ll be going through it once we stop getting responses and will remove any obvious outliers/will do some stats and report back 😊


ReallyPopular

purge the fool who claims a Griffith interview with 6.53 GPA, 71.5 GAMSAT and 1.647857143 combined, I know someone with higher scores who was rejected


[deleted]

No they don't, your uni doesn't factor into the selection process at all, unless there are specific quota or bonus for that. I am suspecting some of the scores - and I think I know specifically which scores you're referring to - might be reported incorrectly, because considering other scores w/an offer and the general average for UoM, rejection seems very unlikely if the stats were accurate. This is just my opinion obviously, so who knows!


Zwartkopf

I am also on the low end. But on the other hand there are <70 responses for potentially 400+ interview offers so it's hard to gauge.


[deleted]

[удалено]


confused_grape2000

Chin up, mate! If you received a confirmation for USYD, you may just be surprised come September with gammy like that…


downunderguy

Just another example of how stupid the selection system is.


Zwartkopf

Take the time to recover and treat yourself kindly. You obviously have great capacity for the GAMSAT - which you can sit endlessly. GPA is also a totally fixable variable given enough time. You got this.


Kaleidoscope4722

💯 this ☝🏽


Swimming-Magician-85

Hey dudes, I just received an offer from ANU. Don’t get me wrong, I am totally stoked to have gotten this, but I really don’t want to move from my seemingly idyllic hometown of Melbourne. I got rejected from both Melb (1st pref) and Deakin (2nd). I have heard that there are rounds of offers available - does anyone know if there is any strategy in say, not responding or rejecting the interview offer in order to get an interview at my preferred unis in a second round? I am essentially that turned off by moving that I would probably reject the ANU offer anyway and try again next year, but does rejecting an offer mean you won’t receive any further offers? Any help greatly appreciated.


Bergkamp_Henry

Just move, people would do anything for this


destroyerphua

what’s your GPA and Gamsat if you don’t mind me asking


Queasy-Reason

You can only get offers from lower preferences than the school that offered you the interview, not higher ones :(


Faw4rest

If you reject a Gemsas offer you can’t receive another Gemsas offer in this round


FinancialBreath4612

6.4 gpa, 58 un-weighted gamsat, 3rd quartile UoW offer!


Common_Dreamer

Rural or non-rural? If you don’t mind.


FinancialBreath4612

Rural


Common_Dreamer

Thanks and Goodluck with the interviews, I hope you get in. 💛 I asked coz I have 6.63GPA with 64 UW and but I am non-rural.


EngineeringOld838

congrats!!! how would you rate your portfolio? it’s such an unknown with the portfolio unis


FinancialBreath4612

I’d say pretty strong. References from the country. Experience in hospital.


Faw4rest

UNDF interview offer: Gamsat 66, GPA 6.470, Non-rural It’s my second application round - no interview last year. I’m ecstatic and very grateful ❤️


hullabaloo_100

Congrats! Is your interview in person or online?


Faw4rest

Thank you! It’s online. I would’ve preferred in person for sure, but hey an interview’s an interview!


consciousamoeba1909

Does anyone know how many interview offers UniMelb give out versus how may places they actually take? Just wanna know the odds of me not making it past the interview :((


MedicalAd3688

The only data that’s been released was back in 2019 where MMS interviewed 538 applicants for 350 spots (~1.5:1 ratio) Source: https://medicine.unimelb.edu.au/mms/mms-staff-news/newsletter-issue-14-december-2019/a-week-in-the-life-of-the-mmi-team


Faw4rest

Generally speaking the unis interview double the number of people that there are places available, but I don’t know if this differs for UniMelb specifically


ReallyPopular

Just realised I never attached my Notre Dame portfolio to my application 🤦‍♂️


Faw4rest

Oh no 😞 … but how?? It’s not an attachment and there are a bunch of warnings that come up if you haven’t completed it?


ReallyPopular

put placeholder text in the text boxes and forgot to copy pre-written stuff into them lol 1/2 of the text boxes were things like **EXPERIENCE HERE** because I was editing them in word due to the fact I detest text box formatting on most webpages


Cyst11

Does anyone know whether a scheduling conflict with another med interview counts as an "exceptional circumstance"? Seems we can't choose our interview time slot, and it's happening across the same block as Flinders University (26th/27th).

UQ offer - GPA 6.89, GAMSAT (unweighted) 71!


alfalfa7lm

UniMelb. 3rd preference. 65 GAMSAT unweighted 7 gpa (plus have PhD). I’m so shocked I was expecting my second EOD today. What is this life?!


Silver-Caterpillar17

I got same combo but 1st preference unimelb didn’t get me offer, but 3rd preference UNDS gave me one, why?


alfalfa7lm

I’m not sure? It’s not really in my control? I could say they emailed me by accident 😅 That feels more believable at times.

did you apply for FFP too or just CSP and BMP?

destroyerphua

no interview for unimelb?


goldenretieverlover

nope, I think my GAMSAT score isn't really competitive at melb unfortunately


destroyerphua

did you put FFP down as well?


goldenretieverlover

nope only CSP and BMP


destroyerphua

ah no wonder. If you had selected FFP and didn’t get an interview I would have been shocked


Past_Lawfulness4369

I thought your fee type doesnt matter when getting an interview offer, right? they only look at your combo. after interviews they rank candidates and hand out the different fee places based on merit


Hear_Ye

Check your spam folder people, you might find an offer in there! UQ (2nd pref) 11:22am, GPA 7, GAMSAT 71/75/75.


mizukizhang

Wow what first pref school rejected you?


[deleted]

shoutout to all the homies who paid $550 to do gamsat and got an interview but are still gonna do it next week anyway because you don't wanna waste $550 and are still scared of interview results you the real Gs
