ATAR: Makes up 1/3rd of the total admission score
The minimum ATAR to be eligible is 90, but in most intakes the final ATAR is significantly higher due to the competition of a large number of applicants for a relatively small number of places.

Subject prerequisites:
VCE: Units 3 and 4: a study score of at least 35 in English (EAL) or at least 30 in English other than EAL;
Units 3 and 4: a study score of at least 30 in Chemistry.
Recommended studies: Biology
IB: A score of at least 5 in English SL or 4 in English HL, or 6 in English B SL or 5 in English B HL;
A score of at least 5 in Chemistry SL or 4 in Chemistry HL;
Minimum 39 overall

UCAT: 
All domestic applicants must complete the University Clinical Aptitude Test for Australia and New Zealand (UCAT ANZ). 
Selection for an interview in December is open to all Victorian and rural students and will be based on UCAT ANZ score only. This is to ensure completion of the selection process within a tight time frame. ATAR (or equivalent) scores for these applicants will be included when they become available after the MMI. The cut-off scores can, and do, change each year depending on the number of interview places and distribution of UCAT ANZ scores of eligible applicants.

As a guide, the lowest UCAT ANZ total score required for a December interview for both Dean's Rural List (DRL) and non-DRL applicants in previous intakes was:

Candidates intending to apply for entry into the direct entry medicine course in 2025 must take the UCAT ANZ in 2024. 
NIE UCAT reccomendation for Monash: We highly reccomedn for rural candidtaes to aim for at least 75th+ percentile (2770) and for non-rural candidates to aim for 92nd+ percentile (3050). 

Interview:
Makes up 1/3rd of the total admission score and about 650 applicants will be interviews for 234 places. 
Monash uses a Multi Mini Interview (MMI) for the selection of students. The MMI consists of six sequential interview 'stations' focusing on an applicant’s:

• advocacy
• collaboration
• critical thinking
• empathy
• ethical reasoning
• motivation

At each station, the applicant will have two minutes reading time with a scenario and will then be interviewed for eight minutes (i.e. ten minutes per station) with a 'circuit’ taking 70-80 minutes to complete, factoring in time for pre-briefing and debriefing sessions. Applicants will be invited via email to participate in the MMI which will be conducted online via Zoom. Only a set number of applicants will be invited for an interview.

Selection for an interview in January is open to all remaining applicants, including Victorian and DRL students who may not have been interviewed in the December round, and will be based on a combination of UCAT ANZ total score and ATAR aggregate (including any adjustment factors, e.g. SEAS).
Only those applicants who attend an interview, and maintain a course preference in VTAC, will remain in the final ranked list to be considered for a place in the course.

Important Note:

• All applicants applying for this course are only allowed to attend the MMI once. Those who are re-applying for this course and have previously attended the MMI for this course are not eligible to re-sit the MMI.
• Shortlisted applicants will be invited to attend an interview via email and will be required to log in to an online system to self-allocate a time to attend. Once the system closes, changes will not be permitted and late requests cannot be accommodated.
