I think it's safe to say you're in!menty said:well, since they halved the places for optom, do u think 99.05 would score me a HECS place?
Yeh im also very worried about the amount of places being halved for optometry. I got 99.00 and i don't have a viable backup if I don't get in.menty said:well, since they halved the places for optom, do u think 99.05 would score me a HECS place?
The thing is that if I do that I would have to sit the UMAT exam which I'm hopeless at.Survivor39 said:So they only accept about 25-30 students this year? hmm.. You can always do B Science then transfer to BOptom/BSc since it is now a double degree...
I think you have a big chance!oxford said:do u think ill get in with 98.95
You don't need UMAT for Optometry!thegangmaster said:The thing is that if I do that I would have to sit the UMAT exam which I'm hopeless at.
Most likely.Dreamerish*~ said:What would be the cut-off? Above 98?
huh, Doesn't that mean for 2006 Optometry is UAI only but if I fail to make cut-off and do BSc and try and transfer into Optometry in 2007 I would need to do UMAT? :SSurvivor39 said:You don't need UMAT for Optometry!
"Admission Requirements
Normal entry is into Stage 1 of the BOptom BSc program and is limited by a quota into Stage 1.
Higher School Certificate (or Equivalent)
In 2006 admission to the BOptom BSc course is subject solely to selection on the basis of the Universities Admissions Index (UAI) or equivalent.
Alternative Entry - transfer from the UNSW BSc (Vision Science) program
Students who have completed Stage 1 of the BSc (major in Vision Science) program will be allowed to compete for transfer into Stage 2 of the BOptom BSc program. Competition for transfer places into Optometry is extremely competitive. Transfer eligibility will be based on a combination of the Universities Admissions Index (UAI) or equivalent, Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT) and Stage 1 BSc (Vision Science) results and is limited by a quota. This option is available to local students only."
I don't think there is anything on the internet about it. I found out through attending the UNSW open day Optometry lecture. I disctinctly remember that they quoted a figure of about 23 but they would maybe accept a bit more than that.hunghing said:How do u know the number of places have halved? I cannot find anything on that on the internet. Link please.
I hope not.holla back girl said:^^that sux
i have a feeling that cutoff maybe greater than 99.
What do you guys think?
