FAQ
Which schools use GEMSAS — and which don't?
The GEMSAS consortium is ten schools: ANU, Deakin, Griffith, Macquarie, Melbourne, Notre Dame Fremantle, Notre Dame Sydney, UQ, UWA and Wollongong — one application, up to six preferences, a maximum of one offer. Sydney, Flinders, Monash and UTAS take direct applications; Bond goes through QTAC; UQ-Ochsner has its own process. Full mechanics in the GEMSAS guide.
Do they all require the GAMSAT?
Most do, and many accept the MCAT as an alternative — a few dedicated pathways (e.g. some Indigenous entry pathways) don't require it. Each card lists the tests its published rules require.
How is my GPA calculated?
GEMSAS schools use your last three full-time-equivalent years, most weighting them 1:2:3 toward recency — fails included, converting to 0 below ~50. Melbourne uses 1:2:2, UQ uses all subjects from your most recent eligible qualification. The GEMSAS guide has the formulas and the traps.
Can I apply while still finishing my degree?
Yes — final-year students get conditional offers that firm up once completion is confirmed, so there's no forced gap year: sit GAMSAT in your final year, apply in May, start the MD the following January/February.
Every card links its primary sources. Rules change every cycle — confirm with the university and GEMSAS before applying. General information, not admissions advice.
