Monash University: UCAT and entry requirements
| Uses UCAT ANZ | Required for direct-entry medicine at Clayton. SJT only breaks ties between equal UCAT total scores. [1] |
|---|---|
| How UCAT is used | Final selection uses equal thirds: ATAR aggregate with adjustments, UCAT total and MMI. December interviews rank UCAT total only. January interview rounds use ATAR aggregate and UCAT total equally. [1][2] |
| Interview | Six sequential MMI stations on Zoom, with 2 minutes reading and 8 minutes answering per station. The circuit takes 70 to 80 minutes and can be sat only once. It assesses advocacy, collaboration, critical thinking, empathy, ethical reasoning, motivation and resilience. [1] |
| Other selection requirements | Minimum ATAR 90. VCE Units 3 and 4: English 30, or EAL 35, and Chemistry 30. IB: at least 39 overall, English 5 SL or 4 HL, or English B 6 SL or 5 HL, and Chemistry 5 SL or 4 HL. Biology is not required; a free online bridging course is available. [3][2] |
| Pathways | Indigenous Entry Scheme applicants are exempt from competitive ranking and take an all-Indigenous panel interview instead of UCAT and the MMI. VTAC codes: 2800311231 School Leaver, 2800311261 Extended Rural Cohort, 2800311251 Bonded Medical Program. [1][2] |
| School-leaver eligibility | Year 12 completed no more than two years before starting, no tertiary study started at Certificate IV or above, and age at least 17 at course commencement. [3] |
| December interview cut-offs | 2027 intake: DRL 2120 (70th percentile), 193 interview offers; non-DRL Victorian 2390 (93rd), 189 offers. 2026: DRL 2050 (66th), 193 offers; non-DRL 2380 (94th), 192 offers. 2025: DRL 2730 (66th), 194 offers; non-DRL 3140 (93rd), 193 offers. 2024: DRL 2670 (64th), 163 offers; non-DRL 3020 (91st), 193 offers. 2023: DRL 2620 (61st), 166 offers; non-DRL 2990 (90th), 193 offers. The 2025 and earlier scores included Abstract Reasoning, so cannot be compared with the newer scale. [3] |
| Places | The course guide lists approximately 137 CSP places and 30 Extended Rural Cohort CSP places. Bonded Medical Program places are 28.5% of CSPs; the Dean's Rural List is 27% of places. [2] |

What this means for your UCAT prep
Monash weighs UCAT, ATAR and the interview equally, so make time for all three. Keep some SJT prep because it can break a tie between equal UCAT totals.
