ABOUT THIS SESSION

Getting into medicine in Australia can feel overwhelming, from understanding ATAR cut-offs to mastering the UCAT and preparing for interviews.

This session is designed to break down the entire process in a clear and practical way.

We’ll cover what scores you realistically need (including ATAR and UCAT benchmarks), how different universities weigh each component, and what actually makes a competitive applicant.

You’ll also get an inside look at the interview process — what assessors are looking for, common station types, and how to prepare effectively.

Beyond just the numbers, we’ll share proven strategies, mistakes to avoid, and insights from current medical students who have successfully navigated the pathway.

By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear roadmap of the admissions process and a better understanding of how to maximise your chances of getting into medicine.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER

MissionMed is an Australian medical school admissions coaching service that prepares students for the UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) and the medical school interview process. Co-founded by GP and medical educator Dr Jason Yu, MissionMed runs UCAT mastery programs, one-on-one mentorship, mock interviews and live test-centre simulation, with content built and taught by doctors and current medical students. The team reports a 91% medical school offer rate for students through their 2024-25 cycle, and they focus heavily on evidence-based drilling rather than generic practice questions.
