If you are applying as an undergraduate, you will need to apply to the Guaranteed Entry Pathway, which requires an ATAR between 99 and 99.85, the subsequent completion of an undergraduate course at the University of Melbourne with an average of 75% or higher, and the completion of an MMI (Multiple Mini Interview). There are various scholarships available to help cover the cost of undertaking a double degree in this way, such as the Melbourne Chancellor’s Scholarship.
Average scores for admission are a GPA of 6.7 and a GAMSAT of 71. Alternatively, the BMAT, DAT or MCAT may be taken for overseas applicants. The minimum MCAT score is 492, although to be competitive scores of at least 500 are required. Minimum GAMSAT to be considered is 50.
Applicants are invited to an interview based on their GPA and GAMSATÂ results. The interview is an MMI (Multiple Mini Interview) which consists of eight interview stations. Each station will take five minutes to complete and be built around one topic or theme. The entire interview takes around 50 minutes, and will form part of an MMI day which might also feature tours or lectures designed to help students understand the university. The MMI is designed to assess maturity, motivation, communication skills, empathy, collaboration, and decision making.
Following interviews, offers are made on the following basis: 50% interview score, 25% GPA and 25% MCAT /GAMSAT. This process is therefore more ‘automated’ or objective than many other universities, which will individually review students and have tutors discuss them.
