Selection uses your Casper score alongside ATAR and UCAT. Curtin does not adjust or grant special consideration for Casper results; direct any test-related questions to Acuity Insights.

• Shortlisted applicants receive interview invitations.

Curtin medical interview (MMI)

• Who gets invited: Top-ranked eligible applicants in each entry pathway are invited to a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI).
• Format: Primarily face-to-face; limited online slots for interstate/overseas applicants. Process is identical for both modes.
