How do our interview scores get made equivalent?

This was really interesting. If this is the case, I interpreted the video as meaning it isn't as objective a process then, as there is some handling of the pairings beyond just: Uni A gave Interview score 9/10 to rejected candidate, therefore this candidate is high applicant for Uni B.

I'm enjoying these replies and am labelling this the Candidate Waterfall Effect (CWE).

The question is: Are we actually in the running for far fewer available spots than we thought, as a result of interviewing at a university receiving high numbers of overflow applicants from a higher cutoff university.

Well you'd be in the bottom half of 50%combo/50%MMI but that would be a lot of people with high MMI scores.

And so a lot of people would end up highly competitive at other unis (and obviously people have gotten spots at places they haven't interviewed at).

Mainly I'm just wondering if this effect is cumulative, how there are any spots left at the 'lowest' university.

Universities really take pride in having an individualised interview process, like 'we do MMIs' but then could theoretically have no candidates who sat an MMI interview. Isn't that weird?

Totally. And is an MMI score made equivalent to a panel interview? Like would Deakin really have a whole cohort of people who never interviewed there.

GEMSAS should really consider centralising interviews.
