Monash - Monash Medicine: General Entry Discussion (2025)

GTG25 said:

Hi,

Can anyone help me, please? Does anyone know if I list my preferences as CSP, ERC, and BMP in that order, and I’m offered ERC, and if I accept it now, would I still have a chance to be offered CSP in subsequent rounds if someone withdraws from CSP? Or is that CSP spot offered to someone who has not yet been offered a spot?

I don’t think you can be offered another spot if you accept, because I believe they select applicants all from the same pool, and accepting an offer would remove you from that pool. They are different courses though, so you may be able to decline and wait for a CSP place in a later round

But if that was my second choice in my VTAC application and I accept it, does that mean I can still wait for my first choice to be offered in subsequent rounds should it be available? For example, if I missed out on a CSP spot by a few ranking places, and a few people withdrew, would I then make the cut for CSP?

Congratulations but asking how did you get an interview as I didn’t get one with 3220 and 99.8

I’m also from the same state with 3220 and 99.8 and I didn’t get an interview invitation anyone know why this is the case?

saw someone who got an offer to Monash from SA with 3180 and 99.7. I’m also from the same state with 3220 and 99.8 and I didn’t not get an interview invitation anyone know why this is the case?

Was quite surprised when I saw the place offer posted with 99.7 & 95%ile.
I can only think of the possibility they qualified for Monash Guarantee / SEAS through their low socio-economic home address. This is different to the criteria for SEAS alone.

Yea, on the post they hadn’t listed any special requirements they had such as SEAS or rurality so assuming they didn’t do they look at SJT?

___________
A1 replies: Monash says specifically SJT is only used as tie-breaker if applicants have the same UCAT Total score.
Although they might not have the criteria for SEAS, they could get MG/SEAS through a low socio-economic home address alone.

Thanks A1 so just bad luck for me then. I didn’t even get waitlisted for the interview for Monash which sucks cause I got an interview for unsw.

yeah monash interstate is very competitive usually, hope you get other offers though

Helllooo, I'm a student from New Zealand and am taking a gap year.
My ATAR is 99.50, does anyone know what UCAT percentile I should be looking at as the arbitrary number to potentially get an interview offer an monash?

Unfortunately my gut feeling is 99.50 might rule out Monash interstate.

If anything you'll need 99%ile, based on the post above 99.80 + 96%ile 3220 didn't get an interview this year

99.5 is not competetive for monash interstate tbh, if you do bump that up somehow then you are still looking at 98th/99th ucat as interstate is very competitive
