Boost your chances of getting into medicine
Why apply?
Did you spend time as a kid outside Melbourne? (Or Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane or Perth for that matter.)
You could be eligible to apply for the Dean's Rural List, which can increase your chances of being invited for an interview. This is solely about where you grew up, so if you topped your class, it's still worth applying.
The Dean's Rural List explained
Want to study medicine at Monash?
Are you eligible?
Since you were born, you need to have spent at least five consecutive years or ten years all up, living in an area classified as RA2-5.
What does that mean? It’s the Australian Standard Geographic Classification – Remoteness Areas you can check how your previous (or current) address is classified on the Doctor Connect website. If you live in Hobart or Darwin, check your address too: you could be eligible. See the Dean's Rural List web page which has details about the scheme and a link to Doctor Connect.
