Frequently Asked Questions
What UCAT score do I need for a Monash interview?
Monash publishes clear thresholds: metro applicants need a 94th percentile UCAT, while rural applicants need a 66th percentile. These are used solely for interview invitation — UCAT is then re-weighted equally with ATAR and interview for final offers.
How are final offers decided at Monash?
Final offers use equal weightings of ATAR, UCAT, and interview performance (each approximately 33%). This means no single component can compensate entirely for weakness in another.
Does Monash prioritise rural students?
Yes. Rural applicants have a significantly lower UCAT threshold (66th vs 94th percentile) and lower actual ATAR cutoffs (91.25 vs 99.4). Monash offers multiple streams including an Extended Rural Cohort with different competitiveness levels.
