2021 Doctor of Medicine intake COVID-19 contingency plan
Institution News
The University of Queensland is aware that some international applicants have been unable to sit the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) or Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT) due to the impacts of COVID-19, including test cancellations. To ensure these applicants are not unfairly affected, we have implemented a COVID-19 contingency plan for our 2021 Doctor of Medicine intake.
MCAT
Extended validity period of MCAT from three years to four years.
Applicants can apply without an MCAT score, but will be required to provide confirmation of a test booking.
UQ will assess eligibility and invite to interview based on GPA.
UQ will issue conditional offers: Applicants will require a minimum score of 504 and must satisfy all admission requirements to receive a confirmed place, noting that this is subject to availability of places.
GAMSAT
Applicants can apply without a GAMSAT score, but will be required to provide confirmation of a test booking.
UQ will assess eligibility and invite to interview based on GPA.
UQ will issue conditional offers: Applicants will require a minimum score of 50 in each section and must satisfy all admission requirements to receive a confirmed place, noting that this is subject to availability of places.
