What applicants have reported
STUDENT-REPORTED (Med Students Online, 2026-entry threads; anecdotal, ~10-12 points — the best-populated, but still small/NOT official). Interview invites/offers clustered ~92nd-98th UCAT percentile (raw ~2340-2520); invite floor near low-90s percentile. GWS-local and rural sub-quotas lower the bar (a non-rural non-GWS 2390 missed an interview). The invite formula over-weights Verbal Reasoning, so total-percentile alone under-predicts. New 900-2700 UCAT scale.
Rural and Indigenous pathways
Rural Entry Admission Scheme (REAS) — lower academic threshold (ATAR 91.5 vs 95.5 non-GWS); a separate Greater Western Sydney local pathway also exists.
