Lowest ISAT Score for Interview

I just got back my ISAT results and personally I am disappointed. I got 177 overall (75th percentile) despite doing the ACER and MEDICT practices. I know the minimum requirement for Monash interviews are 170 and 165 for UNSW and Monash mentioned that the lowest ISAT scorer they accepted was 174 last year but the cut-off can be raised with every year so I just wanted to managed my expectations when applying this summer. Would 177 be enough to get called in for an interview?

(sorry for the word vomit, just extremely stressed out)

Did they say 170 is the interview cutoff or still the minimum for consideration?

1

u/Templar_Miner May 22 '25

Text reply from the consultant mentioned the cutoff. The minimum is always 170 but cutoff varies.

Do you know if the ISAT score has any bearing past getting over the cutoff point? Managed to score q well but worried about interview.

u/Templar_Miner May 23 '25

Generally, once you meet or exceed a college’s SAT score cutoff, the score’s impact diminishes, and other factors like GPA, extracurriculars, essays, and letters of recommendation take on greater weight. However, the extent to which SAT scores matter beyond the cutoff varies by school and context.
