COMPARISONS
WITH OTHER COURSES Harry Sivakumar Thank you for your assistance during this year. Having done all three UMAT preparation courses over the past two years, I am certain MedEntry is the best choice for prospective students. The ten exams provide extensive practice and cover all necessary skills. The served as excellent and accurate simulation of the real UMAT. For me personally, the best product was the interview guide, which broke down the interview into components and also provided advice on how to approach it. It was concise (yet detailed) and very, very clear, and many of the example questions popped up in my actual interviews (imagine my delight)! This product should be better advertised! The e-mail support was extensive for any questions I posed, and this showed that the MedEntry team was genuinely interested in assisting me during my application for medicine. [Harry is now studying Medicine at Monash University] Preeya Maharaj Your course was the best thing that helped me get into medicine. The practise exams were brilliant - the questions were exactly how they are in the UMAT and it meant that when I was doing the UMAT I just had to get into the right frame of mind while my other friends who had never seen anything like it before took ages before they even realised what the examiners were looking for. In all honesty, I did the [name deleted] Course as well (the Dean at my school just booked me into everything because she knew how badly I wanted to get in to medicine). I definitely feel like your course was the one that helped me get in. When I finished the [name deleted] course I felt like I had wasted two days of my revision - I really learnt nothing from [name deleted]. Your course was definitely more to the point and without a doubt more useful! I also liked the fact that your course was in small groups so it was easier to ask questions and make a fool of yourself. It also helped when you sent a feedback sheet after the course...I remember getting a paper and the box that said something like ‘you wouldn't get offered a place with this score’ was ticked. That was a big wake up call and it drove me to improve and practice more. THANK YOU very much for all your help. Greatly appreciated! I've already told my friends who didn’t get in that they should definitely do your course next year. [Preeya is now studying medicine] Jessica Green I am just emailing to give the hugest thankyou for helping me to get into my top preference at Monash University. I finished year 12 in 2004 and received a UMAT score of 228, missing out on a Monash interview. Last year however, thanks to the Med Entry UMAT prep course, I received 277! Then, thanks to the practice face to face interview I was able to receive a place in Medicine CSP at Monash! Both the LMS as well as the weekend course were absolutely fantastic. In my preparation for the UMAT this year I attended three UMAT prep courses; [name deleted], [name deleted] and Med Entry. I can say with absolute certainty that of all the courses I attended, Med Entry was clearly the superior. Often in the other courses, I found that much of the information was quite basic and I already knew it. The speakers presenting the courses did not seem nearly as informed as the Med Entry speakers. The information and study packs provided were not as professional and comprehensive as those provided in the Med Entry LMS site. In all, I was simply blown away by the Med Entry course! The speaker, Dr Boyapati was an informed, confident, but most importantly interesting speaker. The continued help that was provided through discussion forums and via email was wonderful too. Again, I cannot express my thanks enough to the Med Entry team, and I will give anyone who asks (or doesn’t) my highest recommendation! [Jessica is now studying medicine] Jason Toniolo I've had the dream of medicine since i had a large operation back in grade six. I've been working towards this ever since. I'm not the brightest of blokes but I worked like a fiend to get into med… Amanda Fairweather I’d like to thank MedEntry for all of their assistance in getting into medicine this year. Jabel Lee I have received offers to Medicine and Dentistry at University of Otago. I can't thank you enough for your great help!! I tried [name deleted] the year before and my UMAT results that year were so bad, and I thought these UMAT prep courses were really useless. But lucky for me, my dad asked me to try one more time, and thank god I chose MedEntry!! Not only the huge amount of substance, the quality was second to none. Thank you again, now I am one step closer to becoming a surgeon! [Jabel is now studying medicine at Otago University] Rebecca Lim I seriously think that the MedEntry course was a great investment! I also did [name deleted] and got [name deleted] material off a friend. Overall, your material for S1/2 was very comprehensive, with way fewer errors than [name deleted] too! Your S3 sequence questions were BY FAR the best! I could tackle the questions in S3 of the UMAT, even though this year's S3 was harder than last year’s. As for the interview guide, I found the information for the UNSW interview EXTREMELY helpful. They asked exactly the same questions. [Rebecca is now studying medicine] Shokria Mutahar Thanks for your help. You know what? Out of all the courses, I think MedEntry is the most up to date and efficient. All the information you give is always helpful, you’re always willing to help and you reply so soon. Thanks very much guys! You're all doing really well, if people use your course the way it is set out, there is no way they wont get into medicine/dentistry! [Shokria is now studying medicine] Varun Sharma I am pleased to announce that I received a CSP offer for UWA medicine. Danushka Seneveratne The academic year had ended and despite what seemed like a lifetime of preparation the year had not gone according to plan. Every aspiring med student would understand that there is nothing more tragic than having an acceptable ENTER and an inadequate UMAT score! I knew I wasn’t going to be a med student in the coming year but I was sure that I was going to defer my course and give it another shot. It was in this time of stress and confusion that I came across MedEntry. I was very cynical of UMAT preparation courses, they had failed me before and this time round I was determined to avoid boisterous bullies who charged exorbitant prices for minimal result. I was thrilled to discover that the MedEntry program and its products were created by med students. They had prepared for and done the UMAT as a stressed, nervous year 12 student, they had taken the other UMAT preparation courses and understood their failings; they’d had candid conversations with fellow students and understood what it was we were expecting from a prep course. When I discovered that MedEntry was offering a package of ten practice papers for a price that I could afford with my Baker’s Delight salary I was elated! No other course had offered this and despite my mum’s best efforts to think up questions I was previously unable to recreate the exam experience. The type and level of difficulty of the questions were very similar to that of the questions in the actual UMAT I had undertaken in the previous year. The ability to do a test under properly timed conditions enabled me to alter my speed and improve on my accuracy. I entered the UMAT testing centre on the 28th confident that I was going to improve my UMAT score from the previous year, I left the centre positive that I was going to get an interview. In late September I received a letter from Adelaide and a few days later I had purchased one of MedEntry’s interview guides. It was extremely reassuring to see both a list of mock questions and more importantly appropriate ways in which to respond. The guide was particularly effective in teaching me how to incorporate my own experiences and attributes into the conversation. Their clear and thoughtful responses to the ethical questions provided me with an invaluable set of guidelines. On the 25th of January I enrolled for medicine at Monash University. My faith in MedEntry had paid dividends, with their list of well thought out products, their researched, realistic questions and definitive answers, I knew it had played an important role in helping me achieve a lifelong dream. [Danushka is now studying medicine at Monash University] Elizabeth Neilson I wanted to THANK you so much for your tireless help over the past year, with your products, answering my endless emails and the informative and valuable course I attended in Sydney. When I received your materials I was so excited. THANK YOU all so much for the massive amount of time and effort you took for me. I can't tell you how excited Mum and I were as we looked through all your amazingly comprehensive notes, and tests. Your products were great and covered everything I needed to thoroughly prepare for the UMAT in July. I was so encouraged as I saw my understanding and ability to answer the questions on your practice exams improve steadily over the months leading up to the UMAT. The practice exams were so similar to the actual UMAT in EVERY section (maybe even a little harder than the UMAT). When the day came to sit the UMAT, I felt ready and quietly confident. Even though the wait for results was unbearable, when I received them, they were better than I could have dared hope for - 76, 98, 100! My UMAT results secured me interviews at every university I applied for, 5 in total, of which I received 3 offers to study medicine in the first round offers. Thank you and the team for your excellent products and support. Truthfully, everyone who seriously wants to get into Medicine could not get better preparation than from you guys. Thank you from a grateful and excited Med student! [Elizabeth is now studying medicine] Ann Banh I would like to thank the whole team at Medentry for your advice and assistance that has led to my recent success. I was fortunate enough to get four offers for medicine: James Cook University, University of New South Wales, University of Melbourne and a late round offer at University of Sydney!!! I must say, your UMAT prep course was superb!!! The guides were very comprehensive, easy to understand and easy to apply!!! I especially liked your interview guide as it was very up-to-date and very helpful when it came to the real thing!!! Let me also praise your UMAT practise exams. They were quite challenging and closely resembled the real test!!! OVERALL, I WAS ASTOUNDED BY THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ALL THOSE LOOKING FOR A CAREER IN MEDICINE!!! I really can't thank you enough!!! From a very happy customer [Ann is now studying medicine] Alex Dorrington Thanks almost entirely to your training I now have a place in medicine at the University of Queensland (my first preference being a Queenslander). Before I went to your workshop I thought the UMAT was a test where nobody could gain an advantage through training. How wrong I was! Your program was excellent because it exposed me to the exact types of questions that I would face in all sections in the UMAT and gave valuable strategies to tackle the different questions. The LMS is an outstanding innovation which enabled me to properly prepare for the big day by doing practice exams whilst placing under time pressure. My percentiles in the UMAT were: Section 1 - 92% Section 2 - 83% Section 3 - 94% I give you entire credit for my Section 3 mark as this was by far my weakest area initially. These results got me interviews at Newcastle and Monash. Thanks to your interview guide I was able to impress the interviewers by telling them exactly what they wanted to hear and consequently I also received a first round offer from Monash University. I want to extend my deepest thanks for your help in getting me into the most competitive field of study in Australian Universities. Keep up the good work! [Alex is now studying medicine at Monash University] Pallavi Prathivadi Yesterday morning, I received a CSP offer to study medicine at Monash University, my first preference. [Pallavi is now studying medicine] Divya Ramanan In 2006, my raw scores were 48, 40 and 51. My percentiles were a low 52, 0-20 and 54 for Sections 1, 2 and 3 respectively. In 2007 these went up to raw scores of 54, 56 and 65 giving me percentile scores of 73, 81, 96 and an overall percentile score of 89, which I was really happy with considering how below par my results were the first time I sat UMAT. I can't thank you enough. [Divya is now studying Dentistry at the University of Otago] Benjamin Ho Thank you MedEntry for your great UMAT program. I was one of many people who sat the UMAT believing that you could not prepare or study for it, and inevitably I received less than satisfactory results. Being recommended the program from friends, I decided to do the MedEntry course before sitting the UMAT again the following year and the results were telling. My scores for every section went up significantly because MedEntry was able to provide me with concise and detailed techniques in approaching all problems presented. The analytical skills taught are not only useful for UMAT, but has helped me in most exam situations. The section III guide was outstanding, and my weakness in my previous UMAT had become my strength. Thank you for all your help MedEntry, I would strongly recommend this program to anyone preparing for the UMAT. [Benjamin is now studying medicine] Siobhan Muthiah I just received my UMAT results today, and my percentile for Section 1 was 86, Section 2 was 66, and Section 3 was 98. I have to say that I have made a dramatic improvement from my 2004 UMAT results, as my percentiles for Section 1, 2 and 3 were 30, 49 and 58 respectively. Despite having done a UMAT prep course in 2004, I was still unable to develop sufficient time management skills, and consequently my marks suffered. I would like to thank you for the excellent materials that you provided me this year and the informative 2 day workshop which gave me the confidence and preparation I needed to tackle the UMAT. I was able to finish Section 1, solely due to the time constraints I placed on myself whilst doing your practise exams. The questions were actually very similar to the ones on the UMAT, and one of the shapes questions were identical to the one provided in your booklet. This really helped me with the timing of section 3 and gave me more of a chance to go back over questions I wasn't sure of. I would gladly recommend your course to anyone, as it was thanks to you that I was able to improve my scores. [Siobhan is now studying medicine] Justin Huang I have received even more good news and would like to share it with you. I was offered a place in the Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Adelaide! In the first round I was offered a place in Pharmacy at Monash University which was my second choice. I was very happy with this, however I simply cannot describe the feeling I got when I was offered my first choice, Dentistry. It is clear that my UMAT score, and the interview advice which Dr Boyapati provided, pulled me through and above other applicants who had a higher TER than myself. My ENTER score (VIC) was 94.70 Two other students aiming for dentistry at the University of Adelaide who achieved ENTER scores in the high 98s were infact ranked bellow me. As they had lower UMAT scores than mine, this clearly shows how important the UMAT is, and I shall be emphasising this to my school's careers counsellor. Many of my fellow school friends who also attended the MedEntry process achieved high UMAT scores and are doing Medicine or Dentistry. In fact, our school's top 5 UMAT scorers all attended MedEntry's program. So once again, thank you for your help and advice. [Justin is now studying dentistry at the University of Adelaide] Katie Bishop The products supplied by your company have been a huge help in preparing me for the UMAT and have also given me more confidence for future interviews. Without this package I feel that I would have never achieved the score I did as I would have had no idea as to the format of the entire process. The advice supplied throughout the duration of my preparation and the follow - up that has been received has been outstanding and I have found it both encouraging and comforting. As I have only been in Australia for a year after moving form the UK, I had little to no idea how things worked regarding entry into university and the process that had to be undertaken in order to complete the necessary steps in achieving my goals. My UMAT score, thanks to this package has helped me to get where I want to be. My overall percentile was 257. This was made up of Section one: 90%, Section two: 97% and Section three: 70%. I really enjoyed my time preparing for this course mainly because of the easy to follow and understandable guides. Thank you again for all your help. [Katie is now studying medicine] Elise Marie de Romas I would have to say the practice test helped me a lot. It helped prepare one for the actual tests, as the questions were extremely similar. It was as if I'd seen them before. It helped me a lot with the shapes, as I had been extremely bad with these on the practice UMAT test. The techniques really helped me answer the questions. With the interview, MedEntry was extremely helpful as well, as the questions were ones I had already endeavoured to answer in my practice interview. The exact same questions were asked. The practice interview truly prepared me, and dispelled nervousness. [Elise is now studying medicine] Felicity Connon My UMAT percentiles were 99, 98, 98 for the three booklets and I have to say that I give you almost entire credit for those scores! Following your workshop I completed about 8 of your practice papers and they were an immense help. I will most certainly be recommending you to anyone who is going to sit the UMAT and have already done so. Also I found the explanations in the answers very helpful. I found your papers very helpful and appropriate to the standard of the UMAT, so thank you very much for your help. Apart from Melbourne, I was also offered a place to study medicine at Queensland and Newcastle. Thank you! [Felicity is now studying medicine] Elizabeth Paratz I am very elated and can't wait for the year to begin! I got offers for UNSW, Adelaide and Melbourne [medicine]. I found your UMAT course excellent, particularly in regards to Section 1. The 10 practice exams were a great help. Your excellent products and course definitely helped me get my results (100, 98, 79), which in turn got me interviews and took a lot of the stress off end-of-year exams. Thank you so much for your great course, materials and support; your course was great, and I think it really lifted my score and helped ease my nerves and prepare me for the UMAT. [Elizabeth is now studying medicine] Nina Parthasarathy I found the Med-Entry material very useful in my preparation for the UMAT. A lot of the stuff was quite similar to the questions that actually appeared on the UMAT and having practiced on the various types of questions provided by the Med-Entry team in the form of several practice exams made the actual UMAT a less daunting and more successful experience. The Med-Entry team were very professional and well-presented during the workshop but also very approachable. I felt completely comfortable asking them about any questions I had in the lead-up to the UMAT, as they were always friendly and helpful. I think the experience of the Med-Entry team and the material provided maximised my performance in the UMAT and was a significant factor in me receiving places in medical schools all around Australia! [Nina is now studying medicine] Jonathan Emerson I just want to say a very big thankyou for all of your help over the past year. UMAT was my second attempt at the exam, however my first attempt with preparation from MedEntry - and without all the prep from the course, I definitely wouldn't have been as confident during the exam. [Jonathan is now studying medicine] Nobia Abidi Prenali Desai These are my 2005 UMAT results that I achieved after training with you (S1 95 (64); S2 94 (63); S3 100 (88)). Thanks to your wonderful course, they are much better than I hoped for. As a New Zealand student I had very little knowledge about the UMAT until I took your training so full credit to you. [Prenali is now studying medicine] Devorah Rosenblum Thanks for all your preparatory help. I found your practice exams very helpful, as well as your service - I could email you to ask any questions, and always got a response. The interview guide was also great as it showed me the type of questions asked in the interview, so that I had time to properly think of the answers. Nothing was asked that wasn't in your guide. I was accepted to Monash medicine (my first preference). My percentiles were 98 90 93. Thanks for all your UMAT and interview help! [Devorah is now studying medicine] Lilian Downie Thanks for the great course and info. The UMAT practice exams were particularly useful; they made a huge difference to my performance. My results were as follows; section one 99, section two 95 and section three 89. The interview booklet was also helpful, mostly for the bits that gave you a hint at the questions they might ask at each place. I received places at all the universities I applied for! UNSW, Monash, Tasmania and Adelaide. Thanks so much for the great course!!! [Lilian is now studying medicine] Perveen Aslam The practice papers and UMAT guides were really helpful particularly with section 3 and section 1 of the UMAT. It also helped to do your practice papers in advance because it better helped me manage my time effectively especially in section 1. The interview guide was good because most of the questions asked at the interview were incredibly similar to the sample questions in the guide so the questions didn't throw me off as much. Overall it was all very helpful, I would recommend the course to others. [Perveen is now studying medicine] Tim Wittick Thanks for the many emails you’ve sent. I've always found them really friendly and it's been nice to receive them after completing the different stages of the long process in trying to get into med. I think the 10 practice exams were just fantastic - exam layout was a great way to prepare, I feel the questions were of good difficulty (the harder the better) and overall I feel they helped me improve my performance. With regard to your interview prep guide, it was fantastic, very comprehensive. Thanks again! [Tim is now studying medicine] Amrita Varma I'd like to thank you for the excellent support that MedEntry provided me for the UMAT - I think what you guys are doing is incredibly worthwhile and helpful to anyone doing the UMAT. I got into my first preference, which was Medicine at Monash Uni, so I'm really happy, and I hope you guys give yourselves enough credit! [Amrita is now studying medicine] Mandy Ren I'm really excited to be studying medicine (CSP and unbonded ) at Melbourne uni next year!!! I was also accepted by UNSW to study Medicine (CSP and unbonded). Thankyou for all your help during the year, it was crucial in helping me get into my dream course. I would recommend your products to anybody and everybody! I wish you all the success in the future! [Mandy is now studying medicine] Georgina Alexander I want to thank all of you for the great resources, advice, and support you gave me last year in my preparation for the UMAT. I'm really happy to say that I received two first round offers into health science courses of my choice at my two preferred Universities and I don't think I could have done it without your help! I've been offered a place in Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery at the University of Tasmania, which is great especially since they were only taking a half intake this year! Thanks again for all of your help! [Georgina is now studying medicine] Deniz Durmush I'd like to thank you for your fantastic services and outstanding products, which I couldn't have done without in preparation for the UMAT and my six subsequent interviews. As a result of your teaching and my efforts I have been able to gain several offers. I am now enrolled at UNSW which was my first choice and am extremely happy, having gained a UAI of 97.95 and combined raw UMAT score of 187. I would recommend MedEntry to anyone interested in medicine or dentistry. [Deniz is now studying medicine] Meagan Inglis Thanks so much for the fantastic course you provide - I found it to be enormously useful preparation for the UMAT. The practice exams and the shapes quizzes were great preparation, and definitely helped me achieve my results of 98, 97 and 96 for the respective sections of the exam. As a result of your help I've received interviews at Monash, Adelaide and Newcastle! [Meagan is now studying medicine] Blair York Just a quick note to say that your product is awesome and resulted in me being offered a spot at Otago Medical School. So thank you and I will be singing your praises over here! [Blair is now studying medicine] Elif Durur I found that the UMAT preparation was very beneficial - but mainly for boosting one’s self confidence. I enjoyed going to the actual corse, as it was fascinating to see how other people though and came about deciding on their own answers. I personally feel that I gain the most out of you Prep Course in Section 3. I was surprised to find, that even though I had some difficulty with the type two shapes questions that in the actual exam they seemed to just jump out at me. A pleasant surprise! I think that the interview guide you provided will help people not just for interviews involving medicine but interviews in general. Its great the way you re-examine your own thought process. Overall I found that the course was very beneficial, and I would have no hesitation in suggesting it to others. The most useful aspects I found were the section three practice questions, and the ability to do the test in a timed environment. Being able to attend the workshop highlighted different approaches to answering questions, and the interview guide is defiantly a tool everyone should have. [Elif is now studying medicine] Katherine Downe I’ve been really happy with all the services that MedEntry have provided. I was particularly impressed with the way the MedEntry team have been happy to answer any questions so punctually in such a friendly manner. The UMAT is a very hard examination and the LMS program prepares you very well. The shape drills enable you to improve in Section 3 immensely and I found having access to the answers for the exams you have previously attempted really helpful because you can look back at the questions you found difficult. The MedEntry workshop had a friendly atmosphere and was very informative. The practise examination gives you a good indication of what it will be like sitting the UMAT. I would highly recommend MedEntry as they helped me obtain the UMAT results I’m really happy with. Thank you MedEntry and all the best for everyone sitting the UMAT in the future. [Katherine is now studying medicine] Aaron Ooi Doing both your interview and UMAT programmes, I managed to obtain a place doing medicine at the University of Auckland. The UMAT trial papers were Ahmer Hameed Binula Wickramarachchi I am happy to tell you that I have been offered to study medicine at Auckland University of Melbourne and University of Tasmania. I am very thankful to MedEntry in all their support. Everything from UMAT preparation to Interview feedback, I have found MedEntry to be amazingly useful in getting me through. [Binula is now studying medicine at the University of Auckland] Kevin Rajakariar I just wanted to say thanks for creating such a great course as I highly benefited from it. I got an offer for Medicine at Monash with a 271% UMAT, which was a score of 183, an ENTER of 96.55, and apparently a great interview! Yet again thankyou for everything, I'll definitely recommend MedEntry to everyone considering sitting for the UMAT. Best of luck with your future students, hope they keep your reputation as high as it has been in previous years! [Kevin is now studying medicine] Kate Rotchester I received an offer for my first preference of Physiotherapy at Monash University. I finished year 12 in 2002 with an enter or 82.05. I wanted to study Physiotherapy, but didn’t have the score and thought I never would, so I tried architecture which I hated. [Kate is now studying physiotherapy] Emma Rogan I am very happy that the year of hard work with the UMAT and VCE has all paid off and I received an offer to study Dental Science at Melbourne Uni. I was very pleased with my UMAT results. I received :- Section 1: 77(%99) Section 2: 63(%96) Section 3: 62(%93), with an overall percentile of 99. Ben Wood I received two first round offers for the course at the universities which I selected as my first choice, that is, medicine at both UTAS and Monash through VTAC. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance throughout the year. I feel that the assistance provided by the MedEntry team gave me a definite edge over my peers who didn't complete such a course. Moreover, the interview preparation was invaluable as I enjoyed the interview and wasn't 'snookered' by the panel's questions. Nandini Nagasundaram Firstly I’m really excited to tell you THAT I GOT INTO MED AT MONASH!!! First round CSP offer!!! I am THRILLED!!! But I’ve got to tell you...with an ENTER score of 97.75 I was really doubting I would get into med. But thanks to other things like interview and UMAT that they take into consideration...I seemed to have made it. I am not just saying it...but I really do owe a HELL OF A LOT to you guys at MedEntry...actually I didn’t even know what the UMAT was at the start of 2007...but after attending the workshop and learning all about it online...I was so prepared for the test! I mean...seriously thank you sooo much!! Also all your help for the interview also made me sooo much more prepared and ready to face whatever they threw at me. I learned to be myself and show my positives...I am so thankful for you guys's help. Thanks again! I hope you continue to help make others' dreams come true...like you did mine! With much gratitude, Nandini. [Nandini is now studying medicine at Monash University] Catherine Bella I just wanted to thank you and to let you know that I received an offer for my first preference of the Year 12 Provisional entry into medicine at UQ (which I will do as a dual degree Bachelor of Science/ Medicine/ Surgery). Nivethi Chandramohan I have received offers for medicine at UNSW, Uni of Melbourne, JCU and the Combined Science-Medicine Program at Sydney Uni and I would like to take this opportunity to thank MedEntry for helping me through the UMAT stage. The practice questions provided were very similar to those in the actual UMAT, especially in Section 2. I am recommending Medentry to all my friends who are interested in pursuing med/dentistry. [Nivethi is now studying medicine] Nishanta Tangirala Thankyou for all your help with the UMAT and Interview coaching. I received
a first round offer for Medicine at the University of Western Sydney. I was very
happy to get a position, and I am looking forward to university.
I wanted to let you know that I received an offer to study medicine at Monash University. Thank you so much for your UMAT and interview prep workshop, I really feel as though it helped me to understand what I was in for and be better prepared to handle everything. [Jane is now studying medicine] Song Chan Thanks very much your help during the year. Without you help, I would have been unable to score the following offers: Kim Van Schijndel How brilliant to hear back from you after the last few months, by showing your interest it tells me your team is truly dedicated to what it stands for. I'm happy to tell you I did get a first round offer in to Med at the University of Adelaide. Thank you very much for everything, I found your services very heplfull! Couldn't have done it without you!!! [Kim is now studying medicine at the University of Adelaide] Richard Bradlow Thanks very much I got into CSP bonded at Monash med on a first round. My enter was only 90.05 so it must have been the UMAT that carried me through so thank you very much for all of your help. Lucy Dang Thank you for all that MedEntry had offered me last year! I was offered a place in medicine to all the universities I interviewed for. I am planning to go to Monash University though since it's closer to home. Not only was the UMAT package provided by MedEntry excellent but the interview tips were outstanding and will benefit me for life! Thank you again for all that you have taught me. Joining MedEntry was a worthwhile and enlightening experience! [Lucy is now studying medicine] Brigitte Mol Thankyou MedEntry... I was offered an unbonded MBBS place at UQ, Monash and UNSW in the first round. I am very pleased to say I have accepted UNSW. MedEntry has been a tremendous help to me throughout this journey, from preparing me extremely well for the UMAT (scored 97th percentile), to providing invaluable help for interviews and uni admissions. The forums have also been a great place to chat with like-minded individuals on the same path. Thankyou again, I am over the moon with what I managed to accomplish, and your help played a major role in that. Hannah Glover Thank you so much for the MedEntry course and access to the online questions - the UMAT and interview would have been very tough had I not been able to study prior to them. Secondly I would like to inform you that I received a place in the Lateral Transfer program for Medicine at UNSW that has begun this year having done well in my university WAM, UMAT and interview. I will recommend this course to all I know hoping to achieve a place. Inah Kim I am a student at Otago University and I attended your workshop in Auckland Thankyou very much for your course, I truly recommend it to anyone interested in the health sciences. [Inah is now studying dentistry at the University of Otago] Anna Kang MedEntry was an awesome course which offered thorough and relevant practice to us all. [Anna is now studying medicine at Auckland University] Raille Cooper I attended your course in Dunedin and found it fantastic. Just letting you know I've been accepted into Auckland Medical School so am really happy. Would totally recommend your course because I know without it I would not have done half so well in the UMAT test or been as prepared for my interview. Ashleigh Witt Thank you so so much for running your course! I got accepted into my first choice of medicine at Monash university, something I never thought I was smart enough to do and certainly wouldn’t have without my great UMAT score. Thank you! I have never been this happy. Amalini De Silva Through first round offers in SATAC, I received my top preference of B. Medicine & B. Surgery at The University of Adelaide. I'd just like to thank Ed Boyapati and the MedEntry team. I found all the resources on the website extremely helpful and worthwhile. [Amalini is now studying medicine at the University of Adelaide] Mohammed Kafil Rebecca Cylich I have to say that MedEntry was a huge help and I appreciated all the support from the MedEntry team. I would recommend it to any student serious about setting their sights on medicine and other UMAT-requiring courses. I didn't do the UMAT training during my first attempt in year 12, so I would advise to all students to get serious about the UMAT without trying to get lucky as I did when I went for the UMAT the first time. Thanks again for all your help and keep up the good work you do, helping students work towards building a better future. [Rebecca is now studying medicine] Steven Forbes I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to MedEntry for the outstanding products and services offered. As well as completing the MedEntry program I purchased the [name deleted] program. There was simply no comparison. MedEntry’s products were up to date, relevant, focussed and mirrored the UMAT exactly! The other course was simply a waste of money and more importantly, time. To all potential UMAT test-takers: do not underestimate the importance of UMAT. A couple of hundred dollars is nothing when you consider what the MedEntry course provides. Not only does it help substantially in improving UMAT scores, it also gives you skills that help make you a better person, and ultimately, a better health professional. I cannot recommend MedEntry’s services enough! [Steven is now studying medicine] Sandeep Arunothayaraj I managed to get 296 out of 300 in my UMAT. Section A 100, Section B 98, Section C 98. I must say that the MedEntry workshop was a great help in preparing for the UMAT. It was really beneficial to familiarise yourself with the types of questions on the UMAT, and work out a method to tackle the questions you find the toughest. The workshop helped in this aspect immensely. The feedback from the practice test done in the workshop is also really useful, as it accurately determines what you need to work on. The practice exams were an excellent indication of the types of questions on the actual UMAT and ensured that there were very few surprises. I found that they were slightly harder than the real UMAT, which really helps provide confidence when you're reading the questions in the exam hall. Being slightly harder, the practice exams also allow you to work out the right time management strategy, which is essential. This results in a candidate being able to finish all the questions in the real UMAT, which is a huge bonus. MedEntry is an absolute help! [Sandeep is now studying medicine at Melbourne University with the help of a National Medical Scholarship. In addition to his outstanding UMAT score, he obtained a perfect ENTER score as well as perfect scores in all six of his year 12 subjects] Gerard Dalgleish As a country student I had only ever read about the UMAT in VTAC guides and largely underestimated its importance. When I was put in contact with MedEntry I quickly learned what I was facing and realized I needed a lot of help. The actual experience of sitting a practice UMAT at the MedEntry workshop, as well as the many practice exams, gave me a much greater understanding of what was up ahead. On the day, the three hours seemed much less of a hurdle than what I had been expecting. I even found that some of the questions on the UMAT were very similar to those I had practiced with. Because of the practice I had, I managed a score of 286 overall (and got 100% on section 2, which had initially been my worst). But I still had the huge task of the interviews so I again looked to MedEntry for help. Their interview guide prepared me for the questions I was to be asked and eventually helped me to gain a place in Monash Uni’s medical course, something I never thought was possible! I would like to give you all an enormous thank you; it’s a dream come true!!! [Gerard is now studying medicine at Monash University] Muhammad Mowjood I am happy to report that I have achieved results far beyond my expectations, with percentiles 99,99, and 96 and sections 1,2, and 3 respectively. I was first impressed by the quality of your support. All of my questions were dealt with promptly, efficiently, and in a friendly manner. I signed up with Medentry with some concerns about the ease with which I could access my the learning resources as a remote user, but your support via email soon put these concerns to rest. I found useful advice in your section-by-section guides, especially those for sections two and three. The guides were clear, and offered practical advice that I knew could readily put to use in the UMAT test. I found the practice questions invaluable. Having talked to past UMAT-takers, I knew that time constraints presented one of the biggest challenges in the test. The medentry practice tests allowed me to gain experience and confidence in these conditions, and to develop skills for dealing with large volumes of information in a limited time. After doing the UMAT I also realised that the style and matter of the practice questions were a realistic representation of the real thing. Hoping that you will keep up the good work! [Muhammad is now studying medicine] Cindy Wei I am writing to give my sincere thanks for the MedEntry Excellence Prize awarded to me. I am delighted to have done quite well in the UMAT, and I feel that I owe this, to a large extent, to the MedEntry Team and the courses and resources they endeavour to provide. ACER described the UMAT in the 2005 Information Booklet as a ‘battery of three tests’. Although, no doubt, the word ‘battery’‚ was used in this context with the intended meaning of ‘an array of similar things’, it rather reminded me of an entirely different denotation one that has little to do with related assortments, and much to do with beating and pounding. Perhaps others will share my sentiment that at first fleeting glance, the UMAT appears as insurmountable and remote as the world’s highest peak, scaled only by the select few blessed with rare brilliance, and impregnable to the ordinary person who may find themselves returning from the expedition sorely bruised. However, as I have discovered, this analogy is indeed a false one. The successful mountain climber is one with dedication, determination, and a positive attitude, and one armed with the knowledge and confidence to succeed; something which the MedEntry Team provides for their students to their fullest capacity. In the last respect, MedEntry’s Online Learning Management System has been a great source of help for me. The notes provided were comprehensive and succinct. They covered in detail topics that I had anticipated, but more importantly that which I had not. There is nothing as terrifying as, under the stress of real exam conditions, being faced with something completely foreign to you. The practice exams were also a great asset. In terms of familiarisation with test and question structure, identifying and improving upon weaknesses and learning time management skills, these exams were invaluable. It certainly allowed me to face the real UMAT with a lot more self-belief and coolness than I would have without practice. At first, the difficulty of the practice exams helped to put the real UMAT in perspective and encouraged me to work harder. Later on, as I adapted more to the exams, the practice helped build upon my confidence and fine-tune my preparation. Rahul Barmanray Following your advice in June last year I applied to medical schools all over Australia rather than just in Victoria and have been lucky enough to receive offers to Tasmania, Adelaide, Monash and Melbourne. But though I achieved 99.95, my aggregate was relatively low for such a score and so I was not hopeful of receiving one of the three much sought after scholarships to Melbourne. Therefore, it was much to my surprise last week when Melbourne contacted me offering me the third National Medicine Scholarship, which they don't award until after the IB results come out, on account of my high UMAT score under the way Melbourne treats it. Michael Chung I've so far received an Excellence Scholarship at USyd, a double degree med offer at UQ, and the National Medicine Scholarship at UMelb. I want to thank you for your help during my UMAT preparation. Your course really made a difference to my UMATing. [Michael is now studying medicine] Roger Lu I was fortunate enough to have achieved an ENTER of 99.95 last December and was offered an Excellence scholarship at Monash University. Thanks for all your help and I wish you every success this year! Suran Wickramaarachchi I just received my UMAT results today: 1. 99% 2. 95% 3. 98%. Really happy about that. Thanks guys, couldn't have done it without you! Your materials were awesome, really helpful! [Suran is now studying medicine at Monash University] Ada Neilson We found your exam papers extremely helpful and we saw a dramatic improvement in Elizabeth’s comprehension and times. Congratulations on winning the Australian Youth Grant! A just reward for your efforts and commitment, ie. sending out all those emails such as helpful information on university admissions, including their websites. Again, congratulations and well done! From a relieved parent, Ada Nissa Mowjood We just got Muhammad’s result and would like to thank the MedEntry team for the wonderful preparation material you had to offer. He definitely benefited from this. Well done MedEntry! Thank-you Andrew Serpell I am pleased to inform you that my son received outstanding UMAT scores (100 for section 1, 93 for section 2 and 90 for section 3) and has received his first preference to study medicine at the University of New South Wales. Thank you for your products and your timely and friendly support. I have already recommended MedEntry to friends of ours and will continue to spread the good word. Danielle Cheung My daughters Stacey and Laura attended all UMAT preparation courses over the last two years. Both my daughters and I agree that MedEntry is by far the best preparation program available. On behalf of our family thank you so much for all your help and support - it has resulted in both my daughters obtaining places in medical school! Dr Andreas Nataatmadja Samantha has accepted an offer from Griffith University to do Medical Science at the Nathan Campus (2 years) and then continue with MB/BS at the Gold Coast Campus (4 years). She is very happy with the offer and would like to thank you for your support and services. Ben Lee My son, Paul, has an offer from Melbourne, NSW and Adelaide medical schools. He got his first preference in each State. I’m sure he also had a successful Monash and Newcastle interview. I appreciate your excellent interview program. I will recommend you whenever I have a chance. [Ben’s son Paul is now studying Medicine at UNSW] Dr Ruth Drohan You will be pleased to know that Bryn Thomas has accepted a place in the Medical Course at Monash University Extended Rural Cohort (Northern Victoria) Lesa Hooke I am writing on behalf of Chloe Hooke. We are thrilled to report that Chloe received a first round offer for Medicine at Monash University - her first preference. Ian Dhugga I take this opportunity on Simran's behalf to thank you all for the wonderful support you have extended to him enabling him to achieve his goal. Simran has been offered a place to study medicine both at Monash as well as Adelaide University. Cathy Mclennan Megan Webster Just a quick email to advise that my son James Connell received a first round offer into Medicine at Adelaide today. Thanks to MedEntry for all your assistance, encouragement, and support. Simon Ash On behalf of Jonathan, I would like to thank you and your team for your program.
