What applicants have reported
STUDENT-REPORTED (Med Students Online, 2026-entry threads; anecdotal, ~7-8 points, NOT official). Selection is the Multiple Skills Assessment (MSA), with UCAT only gating the invite: non-rural MSA invites/offers ~98th-99th UCAT percentile (raw ~2470-2560); rural invites much lower ~68th percentile (raw ~2070). Many reporters are GPA/portfolio (Biomedical Pathway) applicants, not ATAR school-leavers. New 900-2700 UCAT scale.
Rural and Indigenous pathways
Lower UCAT ANZ cut-off for rural applicants to progress to the personal-qualities assessment; rural delivery via UNE Armidale.
