The beginning of the 2020 year marks the end of the medicine application cycle
/End of January Interviews
By the end of January the very tail end of interviews are taking place. These include UWA interviews for non-WA applicants (UWA delay their process so applicants who are not WA-based can consider other offers prior to making the long journey to the West).
Likewise the joint medical program at the University of Newcastle/University of New England also delay their interviews for non- rural interstate applicants until late January.
January Offers
The 23rd of January marks the provision of offers from the University of Sydney for their undergraduate double degrees that lead to medicine. This is also the date for offers from UNSW. ANU continue their offers through to the end of January for postgraduate medicine, as do University of Adelaide for undergraduates, with UTas having their offers coming out to interstate applicants during this time.
Late January deadlines
A key deadline is 30th January with the close of QTAC applications for the Bond medicine program (undergraduate and graduate entry). Documentation must be received by the following day. Make sure you have accepted your scholarship, accommodation or admission offers from ANU by 23rd January if you are looking to go there for undergraduate study.
February Interviews
The only interviews taking place in February are at Bond - who commence their medicine year later than everyone else.
February offers
Early February heralds offers from Monash under VTAC Round 2 for undergraduates. Any further offers will be made in mid-February. UTAS advise special consideration applicants of the success of their application during this time.
By the 6th February the joint medical program at Newcastle/New England is in a position to issue offers to interstate non-rural applicants
February deadlines
There is a February ISAT deadline for international applicants. Graduates wanting to apply for medicine in 2020 have until the 1st February to register for the 21st March GAMSAT test (late registrations close on the 10th February).
Indigenous applicants for Flinders postgraduate medicine program have until 14th February to lodge IES applications.
Students fortunate enough to receive an offer from the joint medical program at the University of Newcastle/University of New England have to enroll and pay fees by early February.
