Apparently the interview system is just a ballot-style system or they send certain types of applicants to the different campuses. As in the interview has no bearing whatsoever on actual enrolment location. Don't worry - my S1 was 67 and I'm at Armidale too when newcastle was my first option.

Good luck! I'm pretty sure I can't get in anyway because of my GPA. Ummm 67, 69, 63 I think? S1 definitely was 67 and total was 199, 98th %ile. GPA: 4ish - sydney doesn't use GPA so I don't have confirmation but pretty sure it's too low to get an offer anyway thanks to first year (five bloody...

I received a letter from UNE today

It will be by post, joint medical program (JMP) with UoN

I take it no one has received a letter yet? This is killing me.

Yeah if I could redo it all I would have done it so incredibly different. Health issue has since been mostly resolved, and I was always the type of person who excelled in school (scholarship to a private school, etc) so the academics of medicine doesn't worry me too much. A lot of other factors...

Hey guys, So I called UoN the other day and asked if a 4.1 GPA would be sufficient for a completed degree JMP entry and I was told it should be fine (I have an average mark of 63 and hence why USyd doesn't use GPA - a lot of 64s that only count as 4 not 5, ack). I have a BSci from USyd...

JMP is always an option if your GPA and UMAT are good enough :) That's my hope anyway!

does anyone know if UoN just considers your UMAT for interview? even if they already have my sub par GPA? if it's not enough I'd at least like the interview experience...

Unfortunately there's nothing - not with undergrad or postgrad. I've looked into it due to certain circumstances and there is zip, zilch, zero special consideration. They're even more cut throat with that rule when it comes to PG. I'd advise using it for uni marks as you've said. Although...

S1: 67 S2: 69 S3: 63 Total: 199, 98th %ile. Damn my GPA to hell.

Haha, I unfortunately re entered the BoS realm that I thought my 18-year-old self had left far behind due to this god forsaken exam and undergrad med applications thanks to a terrible GPA.

Thanks :) - just hoping my gpa doesn't let me down for JMP. (Some advice, turn up to uni in first year, you fail things if you don't. :/ )

S1: 67 S2: 69 S3: 63 Total: 199, 98th %ile. Considering I didn't answer nine S1 questions, I really don't know how this happened. I feel so ill still - thought I was going to be sick checking the results.

So you can drown your sorrows in alcohol and not have to go to work/school hungover the next day.
