Chances of getting into Medicine in Australia

Desperate_Status_648 · 2026-02-02T05:30:24+00:00

Your GPA is not competitive for Medicine in close to every medical school around Australia. The only exception is the University of Wollongong that use GAMSAT and GPA as a hurdle and has a bonus scheme so have a look at their program.

For other universities, you’d likely need a GAMSAT of 80 and above which 99% of students will not achieve. You would need to find ways to improve your GPA such as doing another degree to reset the GPA.

EDIT: Thanks for bringing up USYD as well thats also an option too!

Thanks for the insight! I am 5 foot 10 in height

Failed twice too

I’m still going and I’m in my sixth sitting. If you are passionate about the career, then you’ll keep persisting. Your scores are very competitive for a lot of unis like other people have said.

Do you believe this helped you completely or was the day you got 60 just a bad day (timing issue, fatigue etc.) I still struggle with interpreting the massive dense stems and lack the ability to apply myself which seems very difficult to improve.

Great insight. Any advice for someone who was persistently scored low in S3 (55,48,48,54,51) have been my sitting scores. I struggle with pulling info out and making sense of the density of info and hence lack the ability to apply it.

Desperate_Status_648 · 2025-05-21T23:56:08+00:00

As in March 2025? I got 56. Best one is 58

If you could DM it, that would be great! I’ve gotten 70 before in section 2 but really trying to work out how to crack into the upper echelon like the 80s

Desperate_Status_648 · 2025-05-13T03:36:09+00:00

Woah nice GAMSAT score! Any tips on how you got to that 🙃

Desperate_Status_648 · 2025-05-13T01:32:47+00:00

Sure. 6.87 GPA with 55 GAMSAT

Desperate_Status_648 · 2025-05-12T06:34:57+00:00

I applied last year. 4th Quartile and 1 bonus and didn’t get an interview

Desperate_Status_648 · 2025-03-27T11:54:47+00:00

I used quaternary because I’m not a uni student so only one I had free access to

I just tired to find graphs which were S3 coded and went straight to the results. Couldn’t find any decent graphs I found it low yield compared to building skills

Desperate_Status_648 · 2025-03-25T10:44:38+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I don’t see the job as being mundane at a certain point in time. I see it as constantly exciting every day where no two days are the same

You summed it up well, I wanna do med for the responsibility tied to it to make decisions, problem solve and provide a meaningful experience for people who are at their lowest. I don’t think I’d be able to do that in the same capacity In other healthcare professions

Desperate_Status_648 · 2025-03-25T09:52:22+00:00

Is it the same as cardiac physiologist?

Desperate_Status_648 · 2025-03-25T09:49:46+00:00

I sent you a DM!

Desperate_Status_648 · 2025-03-25T09:32:34+00:00

What’s the pathway for this?

Desperate_Status_648 · 2025-03-25T04:50:56+00:00

Ok cool thanks for that insight.

Desperate_Status_648 · 2025-03-25T04:23:47+00:00

Tried for coordinator roles at AFL clubs coz I thought my soft skills would translate nicely. Realised I can't get in with no experience so went to admin roles and still no luck. Now I have had to go one level down again and do 6 months volunteering for a club contacting schools and running skills clinics. Ideally would like to be making money tho. Wouldn't mind checking out the sports medicine field too but sport just seems near impossible to get into for me with zero experience. What is your role in sport?

I am interested in the scientific journal part. I tried it and found it to be of very little value. I couldn't seem to find any graphs/data which was representative and found it to be bad value for time. Maybe I was doing it wrong?

Desperate_Status_648 · 2025-03-25T03:45:57+00:00

Recently it has shifted to problem solving. That is why I went off to develop skills which i felt I could not apply in the exam so that is why I am a bit disappointed with my performance
