The beginning of May heralds the deadline for applicants to the University of Melbourne to submit requests for prerequisite assessments. The 4th May is the deadline for concession and access arrangements for UCAT - though note there is a discrepancy in the specific deadline time between information provided by UCAT and by UAC.

A key date for undergraduate/direct medicine entry applicants is the 11th May which marks the final booking deadline for UCAT. If you miss this deadline there is one further opportunity to book which is the late booking (and cancellation) deadline on the 18th May.

Deadlines at the end of May include Monash’s deadline that applies to a range of international students. Monash stipulate these applicants are required to sit ISAT by the 24th May. There are 3 ISAT testing cycles ie

Cycle 2: August 15- August 23 2020

Monash’s deadline therefore requires these international applicants to have sat ISAT no later than Cycle 1.

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

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).
