Welcome to a new and easier way of applying for Graduate Entry Medicine.

 

Applications

GAMSAT candidates are responsible for determining their eligibility to apply for a place in Medicine.  Applicants are selected for interview based on one or more of the following criteria:

  • performance in GAMSAT
  • performance in a qualifying degree (as indicated by GPA)
  • performance in a portfolio, special application or supplementary form or autobiographical statement.

After checking your eligibility you can then apply online at www.gemsas.edu.au

Types of places

On application you will be asked to indicate the types of medical school places you would be willing to accept and the order in which you would like to be offered these palces .  Schools will use this information when they offer places.  You will receive only one offer and that will be for only one type of place.  Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) are available as are Bonded Medical Places (BMP), Medical Rural Bonded Scholarship Places (MRBS) and many local sub-quotas for rural or community-based places.  International fee places are offered at most graduate entry medical schools and domestic fee places are offered at a few schools.

Rural and Indigenous applicants

Schools have a variety of sub-quotas and places reserved for applicants from indigenous applicants and applicants with a rural background, or who are from a specific local area.  Please ensure that you provide all relevant details relating to your indigenous background or time you have spent in a rural or regional area so you can be considered for these places.  Schools sometimes waive aspects of their selection criteria for rural or indigenous applicants.

Interviews

Schools (except the University of Queensland) will conduct interviews in September and October.  You will be notified by the school if you are successful in gaining an interview.  Note that you will have only one interview by schools of the GAMSAT Consortium.  Your interview score will be standardised for use by other schools if you are not successful in gaining an offer of a place at the school at which you were interviewed.

Interviews are either structured, or multiple mini interviews.

Please visit school websites or Medical Schools Information for details of interview dates.
