GAMSAT cutoffs by university

The two soft types are the ones that cause damage. UQ’s published 65.33 is the medianof its admitted cohort — and UQ also publishes the range, which ran from 51.66 to 81.00. Treating 65.33 as a bar overstates the actual admitted floor by nearly fourteen points, and anyone at 60 who reads it as a cutoff would rule themselves out of a place they could have had.

The same applies to the interviewee averages published by UWA and both Notre Dame campuses. They describe who got interviewed, not who was eligible.

Whichever of the four labels you are reading, the number only means something once you have one of your own to set beside it. If you do not yet, sit a full practice test under exam timing and use the section scores it returns as your working figure for the rest of this table.

Flinders is the only Australian school that publishes real cutoffs rather than averages or ranges, and its figures show exactly why a single headline number is dangerous. The standard cutoff and the humanitarian sub-quota cutoff are 18 points apart.

Publish only the 74 and a rural applicant sitting on 70, or a Flinders graduate on 65, reads it as a closed door. All three of those people are above a cutoff that applies to them. This is not a rounding detail — it is the difference between applying and not applying.

Deleting them would make the dataset look cleaner and be less useful. Filling the gaps in with plausible numbers would be worse. Both are common; neither is honest.

• Melbourne’s Doctor of Optometryuses no admissions test at all — selection runs on WAM alone.
• UWA’s Doctor of Podiatric Medicine admits graduate entrants on sWAM plus interview, not GAMSAT.
• UEA’s MSc Physician Associate Studies no longer exists, and ACER still links to it.
• The University of Nottingham is still listed after moving to UCAT for 2027 entry.

Almost every preparation site builds its university list from that page, and inherits all four. We check each institution against its own admissions pages instead, and date-stamp what we find. Where our figure and a university’s own page disagree, the university is right — please tell us.

• Check the scoring method before the number.A figure published by a school that uses the unweighted mean cannot be compared with one from a school using ACER’s weighted overall. ScotGEM’s 50 is an unweighted 50 and is not the same bar as a weighted 50 elsewhere.
• Check the year.Cutoffs move every cycle. City St George’s went 56 → 54 → 56 across three consecutive cycles. Plymouth’s medicine page still stops at 2024 entry.
• “Not published” means not published.Sydney states outright that previous thresholds “will not be published or provided”. Griffith states there is “no discrete cut-off point”. UEA publishes none by policy. Those are answers, not gaps.
• Work out your own figure both ways first. The score calculator gives you the weighted and unweighted overall together, and shows which one each school on this list would use.
