Medicine places in Australia - ATAR time.
/Postgraduate November offers
Postgraduate offers continue through the end of November (for most universities through to January) with offers issued by Notre Dame, ANU and GEMSAS postgraduate universities.
Late November deadlines
Undergraduate deadlines include Special Consideration applications for Curtin by the 28th and by the end of November UNSW international applicants need to have sat ISAT. Students who wish to apply for the Bachelor of Philosophy as a pathway to medicine at ANU also need to submit application forms by the end of November.
Undergraduate Interviews
The end of November is interview time for undergrads. The University of Western Australia commences their interviews with WA-based applicants. The University of Adelaide start undergraduate interviews in late November and these continue into December. UNSW conduct rural interviews and Western Sydney interview domestic students between 25th and the 29th. The Joint Program at Newcastle/New England undertake rural applicant interviews at the end of November and these continue through to early December. Monash University progress interviews for both Foundation Years (offshore undergraduates completing in December) as well as Malaysia, Singapore and other areas in Asia undergraduate and postgraduate entry applicants.
ATAR time
The culmination of high school studies represented by the issuing of ATAR results takes place at different times depending upon State where you studied. Victoria commences with VCE results released on 12th December. This is followed by QTAC on the 14th, TASC, SATAC and UAC on the 17th, and WA students have to wait until the 19th to receive their results.
The issuing of ATAR results also brings with it commensurate hard deadlines associated with change of preference windows.
December Interviews
Interviews continue in December with Flinders interviewing graduates, UNSW interview undergrads, the University of Sydney interview double degree applicants and La Trobe progress their new rural medicine entry program with interviews for rural applicants for the Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Medical).
In terms of specific dates, early December marks the interview dates for undergraduates wishing to be accepted at Curtin and James Cook (James Cook have a further round of interviews in January). By mid December, Monash have selected rural, Indigenous and domestic applicants they wish to interview. If you are an applicant for UNSW, make sure you are checking your emails as there is only a 1 day turnaround from when emails are issued to the commencement of NSW and ACT undergraduate interviews. Late December signals interviews for graduates at UWA for non-WA based applicants and USYD for NSW and ACT applicants.
December offers
Monash offers for various international student cohorts continue to be issued in early December for both undergraduate and postgraduate medicine. By mid December Monash have moved on to offers for domestic postgrads and by end December this includes the mop up of other overseas based undergrad entry applicants. Undergrad offers from UTAS are out by the 18th, with Newcastle/New England, USYD and Curtin all getting in just before Christmas lunch is served.
