Merry Christmas and a Happy 2020 to all prospective medicine students

 
 
 

End of Year Undergraduate Interviews

By the end of December interviews are continuing at pace for undergrads with the University of Adelaide, UNSW and USyd (for double degree applicants) interviews taking place. La Trobe (Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Medical)) and James Cook have by this time sent interviewees their notifications to attend interviews in January.

December Offers

The pace of offers declines as we see in the end of the 2019 year. As University of Adelaide interviews occur offers are progressively issued through to February. Graduate medicine programs (through GEMSAS universities) issue offers through to end January. Monash continue their offers with these extending to Australian-based Foundation year and any other overseas-based undergraduate entry applicants.

Final offers are made by ANU for undergraduate accommodation, scholarships and admissions.

Late December deadlines

The end of December has (understandably) few deadlines - with only Griffith Bachelor of Medical Science domestic applications closing.

January Interviews

Interviews take place in early January for WA-based applicants and in mid-late January for non-WA domestic direct entry applicants at UWA. Early January is also the time for interviews for JCU, La Trobe (Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Medical)), Monash’s Victorian VCE and IB, National Dean's Rural List and Dean's Indigenous List applicants. By the 10th UNSW are selecting IB applicants for interview. By mid January Monash have progressed to invite interstate and NZ applicants for interview and UNSW are interviewing IB/interstate/overseas applicants. The latter part of January sees USyd interviewing double degree applicants, the joint medical program at Newcastle/New England interview interstate (non-rural) applicants and Curtin have progressed to second round interviews.

January offers

January Round I offers are released to undergraduates by UNSW, UTas (interstate applicants) and Monash (Australian-based international applicants). By the 10th, University of Newcastle/New England issue offers for interstate and rural applicants and Western Sydney issue their Round 1 offers. Mid January sees Round 1 offers issued by QTAC and VTAC (James Cook and Monash respectively) with Round 2 by 23rd January offers issued by USyd (double degree) and UNSW (IB and interstate applicants), with Curtin following at the end of January.

January deadlines

Major deadlines in January include early January information requirements from University of Melbourne that include prerequisite confirmations and USyd conditional offer documentation. UTas close their special consideration applications on the 10th. By the 14th USyd have closed their double degree UAC preference option for IB and interstate applicants and the 19th is the deadline for ISAT results for offshore UQ applicants.

If you have received a January offer from James Cook you need to respond by the 21st to QTAC, you have until the 23rd to respond to ANU to accept accommodation, scholarship and admission offers (undergraduate) and up until the 30th for Bond undergraduate and graduate entry applications (your paperwork is required by the next day).
