Everything in one place

The universities toolkit

Seven free tools that take you from “where could I apply?” to a confident preference list. Here’s what each one does — and when to reach for it.

School directories

Full profiles for every Australian medical & dental school — GAMSAT and UCAT-ANZ thresholds, ATAR cut-offs, MMI/panel formats and CSP, BMP and full-fee places.

When to use it: Start here to research a school from scratch or check a single requirement.

ATAR cut-offs

A live, school-by-school table of the lowest selection rank admitted, with adjustment schemes and how ATAR weighs against UCAT-ANZ.

When to use it: Use it as a school-leaver to find the undergraduate programmes your rank can reach.

See the cut-offs

School rankings

Every Australian medical & dental school scored 0–100 by the NGMP Score — our blend of the QS, THE and ARWU global subject rankings — with our TrueScore predicted UCAT-ANZ alongside.

When to use it: Use it to see which schools are strongest overall and how competitive each is to enter.

See the rankings

GAMSAT vs UCAT-ANZ

Which admissions test each school uses, what each one tests, and which pathway — graduate or undergraduate — they belong to.

When to use it: Read it before you book a sitting so you prepare for the right test.

Compare the tests

Compare tool

Put up to three schools side by side — cut-offs, test requirements, interview formats and place types in one table.

When to use it: Use it once you have a shortlist to settle the final call between schools.

Application strategy

How to turn your scores and shortlist into a GEMSAS or state-admissions-centre preference list that maximises your odds of an offer.

When to use it: Read it after you know your scores to decide where to actually apply.

Interview guides

Per-school interview breakdowns — MMI or panel format, what's assessed and how to prepare.

When to use it: Open the guide for any school that has invited you to interview.

See the selection rank each school really needs

Undergraduate medicine and dentistry in Australia rank school-leavers on their ATAR selection rank. We pull the lowest selection rank admitted at each school straight from our dataset — so you can build a shortlist that balances ambition with realism, and see where adjustment schemes can lower the bar.

  • Live cut-offs for medicine and dentistry, school by school
  • Selection rank, not raw ATAR — the figure schools actually publish
  • Cross-checked against the same data behind every school page

Every school scored out of 100

Our NGMP Score rates each Australian medical and dental school 0–100 on its standing across the QS, Times Higher Education and ShanghaiRanking (ARWU) global subject rankings — and shows our TrueScore predicted UCAT-ANZ alongside, so you can weigh prestige against how competitive each school is to enter.

  • A single 0–100 NGMP Score built from three global ranking sources
  • TrueScore: our predicted competitive UCAT-ANZ for undergraduate entry
  • Separate medicine and dentistry tables, fully ranked

Two pathways, two systems

Choosing your route in

Australia has more than one way into medicine and dentistry — and the funding and service obligations differ too. Start here.

Graduate vs undergraduate entry

Around 60% of Australian medicine places now go via the graduate pathway. See how the 4-year graduate MD (GAMSAT + GPA, through GEMSAS) compares with school-leaver undergraduate entry (UCAT-ANZ + ATAR).

CSP, BMP & full-fee places

Most domestic places are Commonwealth Supported (CSP) with a deferrable HECS-HELP contribution; around 28.5% are Bonded Medical Places (BMP) tied to rural service. Understand the funding and obligations before you rank a school.

Loads of free tools to explore. Begin with the schools, then let the ATAR cut-offs, GAMSAT vs UCAT-ANZ comparison and the Compare tool narrow it down to the choices that are right for you.
