How Charles Sturt uses your UCAT ANZ score

1. Interview invitations are based on your UCAT ANZ score (or previous university results, for applicants already studying).
2. Offers are then made on your interview performance.
3. The interview is a panel interview covering communication, motivation for dentistry, commitment to rural practice, and problem solving.

Good to know

• At least 50% of places are set aside for applicants with a significant rural background or First Nations applicants. Rural applicants also complete a Rural and Indigenous Pathway form.
• First Nations applicants do not need to sit UCAT ANZ and have a culturally appropriate panel interview.
• Interviews are usually held in late November at the Orange campus (they may be online).

What UCAT ANZ score should you aim for?

Universities do not set a single pass mark: they rank applicants against each other, so the score you need depends on the year and on how strong the other applicants are. For a competitive course, aiming for the top 10–20% of candidates is a sensible target.

In 2025, the top 20% of UCAT ANZ candidates scored about 2190 or more out of 2700, and the top 10% about 2310 or more. Use the score calculator to see where your practice scores sit.
