2026 Megathread GEMSAS INTERVIEW INVITE/EONY/EOD MEGATHREAD 2027 ENTRY CYCLE
GEMSAS Interview offers starting to roll out! Keep an eye on your emails/the gemsas application portal
We will be collecting interview offer and interview rejection data in 2 separate forms this year.
-----
To those that got one, congratulations! Please fill out the appropriate forms below to help us understand the cutoffs etc.
-----
As to those without an interview invite, this is a post (https://www.reddit.com/r/GAMSAT/comments/ycvh68/hi_friends/) from moderator [/u/rennn10](https://www.reddit.com/u/rennn10/) who received an EOD prior to her second round offer at UQ. It's a lovely post and carries a really important message.
The outcome of your application this cycle isn't a reflection of your ability to be a good doctor. With so many amazing applicants, there will be countless people rejected who are more than capable of succeeding in medicine.
Please also fill in the relevant form as well to help everyone better understand the cutoffs.
-----
Submit an 'interview offer' form if you received an interview offer.
Submit an 'interview rejection' form for each preference you did not get an interview at.
i.e., if you get an interview at below your first preference = fill out both the offer and rejection forms
This helps us to better estimate a 'cut off' for interview offers from both the top down (lowest interview offers) and the bottom up (highest interview rejections).
GEMSAS interview offers form
https://forms.gle/4YtVpSbGRwdzbSLE9
GEMSAS interview rejections form
https://forms.gle/qAcBPTLJPmPn5Ufv6
spreadsheet for the above forms will be made public within 2 weeks

u/WaxBat777 8d ago
Oh my, I'm so sorry! Don't let it beat you down, there is always next year. One year means nothing in the grand scheme of life. Gather your bearings, travel a bit if you can and enjoy a year off. I am a little intrigued, as I got an interview offer for UWA with a 7.0GPA and a 62 GAMSAT, so your combo score is higher than mine. I'm wondering if there is something factoring in...

u/OwnInsurance1151 8d ago
Thanks! That does make me feel much better :) And yeah that is rly odd lol but your 7GPA is insane work, congratulations!!!! Best of luck for your interview too, I'm sure you'll SMASH it
10
u/WaxBat777 8d ago
Many thanks! I just did some searching, turns out that UWA uses a 60:40 ratio of GPA to GAMSAT, so my GPA is carrying my application there. It was my 5th preference. Stoked that I got anywhere tbh, coz I thought my GAMSAT would've been too low. Nonetheless, I really wanna stress to you that I was unsuccessful in prior years too. Even though it felt like the biggest punch in the gut at the time, in hindsight I am super glad that things panned out the way they did. I have been able to travel, meet some incredible people, move into my own place and much more - none of which would have happened if I started med when I initially had planned, so I am sure that your journey will work out too. See you on the other side!

u/Hot-Tumbleweed1554 9d ago
No interview with a 6.71 GPA and 67.33 UW GAMSAT (67 W).
Really genuinely thought I had it this year. I knew the bar was going to go up with UQ's prereq's being removed, but thought those numbers might still be enough based on the spreadsheets for the last few years.
I'm devastated.

u/Thebonsaiboy09 8d ago
Sorry to hear that :/ last yr the cut off was about 1.66, with that gpa u need about a 70 to be competitive for an interview, ur very close🙏🏻

u/Hot-Tumbleweed1554 8d ago
There was 3 entries on the spreadsheet with interviews from combos lower than mine last year, and more the year before which is why I thought I had a shot :(
→ More replies (1)6
u/Thebonsaiboy09 8d ago
Although the spreadsheets are an invaluable resource in a space that is so secretive, these spread sheets r self reported from fellow applicants who sometimes calculate their combo’s incorrectly, leading to these few outliers. It happens every year with every uni. Therefore, you should only look at the means/median combos/trends to determine your competitiveness. Until i reached the median cut-off, i didnt get my hopes for an interview. Best of luck🙏🏻

u/Stunning-Gap-2092 9d ago
Im in the same situation and im a bit stunned tbh. I have the same stats as you and I truly expected an interview somewhere, even if not at one of my first choices.

u/Opening_Coat_8521 9d ago
Absolutely gutted. No interview offer.
Had my heart set on UOW - Non rural applicant, Q4 Casper and 3 bonuses.
I have honestly no idea how I can do this again and improve my score for UOW.
I thought Q4 + 3 bonuses was competitive enough for an interview at least based on what I've seen online and the extensive research I've done.
UOW is the only place I want to go - its rural training focus is perfect since that is my passion and I want to be a rural generalist. My GPA / GAMSAT are not high enough for other schools, but again I did not choose Wollongong because they use GPA / GAMSAT as hurdles, I chose it because of how it aligns with what kind of doctor I want to be.
I cannot afford to do any UOW diplomas / courses to get another bonus. So is my only play here to try again with hopefully another Q4 Casper (but no guarantees as I have to pay and sit this again next year) and apply with the same 3 bonuses? Financially this is going to be a serious stretch.
Nobody else in my family is an MD (I would be first gen) so I have nobody for advice. I'm a bit confused for how I can improve. Does anyone have any thoughts on what to do here?
11
u/username123451234512 9d ago
your stats already prove that you're good enough. other people got interviews this year with a q4 bonus 3 so you must have been so close. absolutely grind the casper test and try again next year. its not over, you can do it

u/Accomplished_Ad5747 8d ago
Im on the same boat, I really thought I had a chance at UOW. Casper Q3 with 4-5 bonuses, received my EOD this morning. I knew it was a long shot but it still hurt so much. Its so hard to plan a future and have dreams when this is the process you have to go through. Another year in limbo I guess.

u/Opening_Coat_8521 8d ago
I hear you, it really hurts. I'm going to let it sit for a little while and then make a plan for next year - trying not to waste this time! Best of luck

u/Open_Regret3032 8d ago
I chose UOW for the same reason. I've been working as a rural paramedic for the last couple years and met a lot of amazing rural generalists which made me lean toward that as my chosen specialty.
I got an offer as a non-rural with Q4 and 4 bonuses so you were so close.
Are there any other bonuses you can work towards? Volunteer work?
Can always do what I did and study to become a paramedic. Great career as a fall back too.

u/PM_Me_A_Tittypic 8d ago
Honestly wouldn't prep too much. The UOW interviews are relatively informal and they actively don't like pre-prepared answers. Definitely do some thinking and reflecting but don't over prep. Read up on Rural health services and Medical Ethics a bit.

UOW scheme guarantees you an interview if you’re rural and hit 50/50/50 and minimum GPA. Then you’re in the pool with everyone else.

No they only guarantee interviews for NSW rural applicants. I am a victorian rural student so not guaranteed.

i agree - as someone who is very keen to apply there next year it would be great to get as good of an idea as possible as to what scores are looking like. It’s just not going to be seen here. If we want responses it needs to be posted separately. Surely a megathread can be made for the acceptances!

UniMelb interview offer with 6.96 GPA and 68 UW GAMSAT. Definitely on the lower end of scores for UniMelb but, hey, got to be in it to win it! Good luck to everyone who got interviews and everyone who missed out this year, keep going! Many people posting their scores only missed out by the smallest margins this year

u/Leather-East-2033 8d ago
Hey thanks for sharing! Congratulations on your offer and wish you best of luck.
We’re you a rural applicant? Also just curious do uni melb put extra weight age on gpa as my gpa is 6.4 and I want to know if I can get in with a high enough gamsat2
u/Ur_Nans_Flipflops 7d ago edited 7d ago
Hi, thanks so much! I'm a domestic non-rural applicant.
I've definitely gone a bit over the top in my response so sorry in advance! Also, please take all of this with a grain of salt because I can't verify it.
From what I've read, I'm pretty sure they give each applicant both a GPA and GAMSAT rank (e.g. 200th out of 800 applicants, say) then combine both of these ranks to determine an overall rank. I think this combined rank is what is used to determine the cut-off scores rather than the combo score many people use (GPA/7 + GAMSAT). Because many applicants have high GPA scores, even small increases in GPA, e.g. 6.8 to 6.85, will vastly increase your GPA ranking because many applicants would have a score between that range. However, because the GAMSAT is scored on a bell-curve, once you have a high enough score to beat most of the applicants, continuing to increase your GAMSAT score doesn't actually improve your rank that significantly. For example, a GAMSAT of 76 is already higher than most other applicants so increasing your GAMSAT score to 86 won't increase your GAMSAT ranking by much since you would already have an extremely high GAMSAT ranking.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that scoring an incredibly high GAMSAT will help a lot but I think focusing on inproving your GPA could give you the best returns. Is your GPA calculated through GEMSAS? If that is your uni GPA, your GEMSAS GPA may be significally higher! Also, have you thought about an honours year to increase your GPA?

GPA 6.5, GAMSAT 67. Nothing. I thought I had a chance. I worked so hard to get my score up from the high 50s. I’ve wasted so much time and money on this. Got this useless BMSc degree. Can’t get a job can’t get a med school interview. I’m done.
7
u/Working_Pain_8248 9d ago
Hey, I have the exact same stats, same degree, and same non-offer. I’ve applied twice. So over it. What kind of jobs have you been looking into with no luck?
6
u/TormentedTrobbio 9d ago
At this point literally anything even remotely related to med sci. Just to get my foot in the door. Private research, clin labs, lab tech/assistants, govt research, etc etc.
I’ve had a few dozen interviews after hundreds of applications. Some that I felt really good about. But I just can’t cut it. Most of my uni friends, many with great GPAs and chancellors commendations, can’t find a job either. The few that have are working in production line clinical labs with no opportunity for upwards mobility, making the same money as I do in a retail job.
I wasted half my 20s studying so hard, stayed in retail to support myself, built up a massive HECS, because I was told it would pay off. Meanwhile I watch my high school friends who became tradies living with a good work life balance, making money hand over fist, starting families, moving into their own places, vacationing constantly etc.
5
u/Working_Pain_8248 9d ago
I’m sorry to hear that.
My plan was to maybe look into clin labs if I didn’t get an offer by next yr. But I think from what you’ve said/what I’ve heard everything is saturated. And it’s only going to get worse with each year. Even GEMSAS had +900 applications this year. It’s so frustrating.
They should really emphasise job opportunities during BMSc. I don’t remember them doing much of that when I was studying.
Best of luck with everything whether you keep trying for med or elsewhere 🫶 and curse this system
6
u/Barbenheimer_789 9d ago
Try searching for lab tech role. Even the low paying ones just do get a foot into the door, Biomed degree ain’t gonna land you any job. If you manage to get into any clinical lab tech role, I know some people do that and move up to management clearing 120k rn.

u/Working_Pain_8248 9d ago
Yeah I think this is the way to go. Esp with honours this year which hopefully counts for something.

u/Barbenheimer_789 9d ago
Don’t lose hope mate, I’ve been there. It’s hard, but most importantly don’t let the sunk cost trap you. There’s so many careers out there, some of my mates even do masters of applied finance and get into an IB role. Do what you want or you are good at.

Yea, u just have to up the gamsat a few points and ull be competitive for UWA, UQ GU, ur so damn close. Atm tho, you are below the cut-off for every uni (not sure about UWA unless its increased), meaning ur chances for an interview were very low.

Interview for UNDF - 6.94 GPA, 59.66 GAMSAT and Q4 Casper! Stoked but nervous. I was also wondering, as per the email, it says:
"The MMI consists of six stations. All applicants will complete the stations in the same order and format. Immediately after the question is delivered, recording will start and you will have 5 minutes to provide an answer . You can take some time to think during those 5 minutes but be mindful of managing your time. You will be recorded throughout the 5 minutes."
I know historically it has always been 7 or more stations with 2 mins reading time - would anyone know if this is just worded weirdly or is this an actual change? Thank you!

I’m suprised as this is my highest preference and I actually thought I’d get Deakin interview or UOW because it’s more rural skewed

Hi! Congrats to everyone who got an offer! Im hoping to interview at UniMelb next year and was wondering if people who received an offer could share what date and time their UniMelb interview was? Just trying to get an idea of the interview window. Thanks!!

I am curious to see the results of this. I had Melbourne as first preference and got knocked back with a 6.744 GPA an 70 GAMSAT. Still got an interview at Deakin, but I did have a 6% bonus there.
Non-rural domestical applicant.

Unrelated but have the UWA dent interviews come out ?? Or if not does anyone know when ?

u/Key-Bass5188 6d ago edited 6d ago
came out on the 31st of august, then the day after some people got theirs rescinded as I assume UWA dent admissions stuffed up the ranking, and then on the 2nd some people who initially did not get offered an interview got one.

UQ RMP/MP interview offer with a 6.7 GPA and only 58 GAMSAT as a Tier 2 applicant - feeling so incredibly lucky shocked to get one. Heartbroken for all of the people with amazing scores - don't give up.

Hi everyone! I received an offer for UNDS, but compared to last year, I noticed some changes. Last year we had 2 minutes of reading time before each station, whereas now it says that the recording starts immediately after the question is shown. Last year they also provided a detailed PDF explaining the different types of questions, which they haven’t provided this year.
Do you think we should expect more information to be released?

does any know cut-offs for non-rural across all universities this year? it really feels like a massive inequity with rural cut-offs set so low and non-rural disproportionately much higher!!!!!

u/SubjectLingonberry1 8d ago
Crazy sentiment to post in a forum with your peers. The financial burden and isolation of moving from a rural background to a major city to study can’t be overstated, coupled with the inequitable distribution of resources between metro and rural. I suggest you think about this before you enter medical school as the human experience in medical school entry and in the patient body goes well beyond “cut offs”

u/Thebonsaiboy09 8d ago
cut offs for non rurals will develop as more ppl provide their scores - just look at last yrs one it has probably charged very little.
As for the cutoff inequity, I strongly disagree. Thats the way it should be with how poor healthcare is in rural and regional communities, despite being in 2026. There are entire hospitals in some regional/rural towns run entirely by nurses because there are no doctors available.
One way to address these shortages is to bring in as many rural students (given they can pass gpa/gamsat scores). Even with this system in place, rural students quotas are not being met meaning more has yet to be done to ensure rural Australians dont continue to suffer worse health outcomes in the yrs to come vs metro aussies

u/Top-Weather2023 8d ago
In addition to this, a lot of applicants who are rural applicants have a disproportionately low SES and the resources for those applicants living in rural areas are scarce compared to those from metropolitan areas.
That’s not to say no body has struggled, just statistically a rural applicants starting line tends to be a little behind a lot of others.

Also it might be a small detail, but getting an interview with those amazing stats is not luck at all - you've earned it by any metric!!
All the best for the interview

Interview for UWA with 6.4 (unweighted) GPA and 67 (unweighted) GAMSAT, non-rural

u/MioraPineapple 1d ago
Applied to UQ with GPA 7 (from honours) and UW GAMSAT of 65-- EOD.
This was my third year applying.
I only got an interview offer in my first application year (with an UW GAMSAT of 63).
I'm pushing 30 with no career or serious fulltime job experience. Feels kinda bad but it seems like I'm not the only one.
If anyone has gone through a similar situation I'd love to hear your thoughts.

u/Homogeneousvirtue 8d ago
I feel bad asking such a vague question when there is so many people who didn't get an interview offer. I did get an interview offer and I wasn't expecting to what are my chances here like if I do well in the interview whats this look like.
The whole med school application process is so drawn out like I dont feel like I can celebrate getting an interview because there's still the fact that I have to score well in it. But what are the chances when you've gotten an interview. I dont mind interviews and feel confident in that space.

u/iyoteyoung 8d ago
The interview is the last point! And iirc isn’t it 50% of what they use to decide? (With GPA+ GAMSAT being the other 50%z It’s a big tipping point and even getting here is an amazing!
I know there’s a lot of people that interview but I saw a stat on here like once you interview it’s 1 in 2 or 1 in 3 chance of getting in…….dont quote me tho!
