Medical schools, Australia.
Each university weighs the UCAT, ATAR, and interview differently. Here is how the admissions process works — and what every Australian medical school looks for.
ATAR → UCAT → Interview → Offer.
For most undergraduate medical schools in Australia, three criteria gate the offer. Each step is its own test — and each step is coachable.
Your school grades — the academic baseline.
2-hour computerised aptitude test, 181 questions across 4 sections.
MMI or panel format — where presence and ethics matter.
A medical school offer.
Three criteria, equally weighted.
For most medical schools, your ATAR, UCAT, and interview each contribute roughly a third of the offer decision. Schools differ in the precise mix — Adelaide weights 20/40/40, Monash weights 33/33/33, UNSW requires a 99.3 ATAR plus 93rd-percentile UCAT minimum — but underestimating any single one is the most common reason strong students miss out.
Two universities don't require the UCAT — James Cook University and Bond University (full-fee programme). Their admissions processes weigh ATAR, written applications, and interview performance instead.
Eighteen medical schools, every requirement.
Every undergraduate medical and dental programme in Australia. Where universities publish specific cut-offs or weightings, they are noted here — confirm exact figures on each university's official admissions page.
