in gamsat •  3 years ago 

The med school admissions process starts with you sitting the Australian GAMSAT® Exam.

GEMSAS applications should open in late April/early May and close late May. GEMSAS means 'Graduate Entry Medical School Admissions System', and is the association that oversees applications for the 10 partaking schools.

The GEMSAS Guide, which is delivered each year on their site, will be your all inclusive resource for every one of the subtleties of when and how to apply to the GEMSAS schools.

There are 10 schools in the GEMSAS® consortium and you may preference up to 6 in your application.

Remember that USyd and Flinders require their own totally independent applications and aren’t included in these 6 preferences.

When picking your preferences, put your most favoured schools first. Keep in mind, in the event that you would prefer not to live some place or go to a specific med school, it's most likely best not to preference it. Additionally, in the event that you wind up completing a meeting, recollect that your application might in any case be considered for any schools lower on your preference list than the school which you had the interview at.

You ought to counsel the GEMSAS guide and each college’s instructions right off the bat to ensure that you can have all the documentation coordinated on schedule.

Toward the beginning of September you will accept your interview offer from the first school on your GEMSAS preference list that you were qualified and serious for.

If you don't get an offer from your first preference, that school is then off the table (you can't be considered for an offer of a spot at a school which is higher on the list than the school at which you were interviewed).

Most interviews are held between late September and October, but for USyd they are normally held in late July/early August (with offers being conveyed toward the beginning of July).

In the event that you don't fit the bill for an interview at any of your inclinations, you will get a letter from GEMSAS informing you with respect to this around the time that interview offers are delivered.

This brings us to the part you have all been hanging tight for: offers are generally delivered towards the beginning of November!
