Based on offers so far most likely.

Also I think you need to add dates when offers came out etc.

But UQ dent only has one offer round (main round) on January 12. I think it might just be a typo above.

I meant 2010 & 2011 entry sorry! By the way, try not to tag Shizzy because he just authorizes me to publish articles. He hasn't seen them yet and yeah probably best to ask muse or I for dent articles. Sorry shizzy for all the mentions!.

why does the non-standard have 2 values? Go8 and non-Go8.... what is the difference?... i go to USyd, so does that mean i need 5.8 GPA?
Also a UMAT score of 174 is equivalent to around what percentile and overall score? (ofc the percentile of 174 will vary year to year but a general range)

It's just the way UQ works. Go8 is a group of universities (USyd, UNSW, Monash, UMelb, UWA, UQ, UAdel, ANU). Yes that means you need a 5.8 GPA.

According to last year's graphs, around 85-87%tile.
