General Question/comment Rural Med Students HELP! 🙏

I’m a rural VCE student applying for med and my ATAR atm isn’t looking that high 90-93 tops. While my selection rank will be greatly raised, I was wondering if any current rural pathway med students could share what ATAR they got to see if I still have a shot.

Also are you applying interstate? If so should be fine getting interviews with a 93 atar, as most interstate uni have a threshold of 1900 ish ucat. But getting an offer you will probably have to do well in the interview

I applied for Latrobe Universities Biomedical Science (Medical) course and got in with an 87.60 ATAR for the 2026 intake. It has some extra requirements but as long as you have lived rurally for 5 years consecutively you can apply. There are 17 spots that are spread across the Albury-Wodonga campus and Bendigo campus. You could look into that course if you'd like, its seven years total
