Why was this decision made?

During unprecedented times, universities in the GEMSAS consortium are in the process of finding a way to equitably and fairly rank students on a bell curve.

Ultimately, they are aiming to avoid variable which may affect their ability to select the best potential candidates for admission.

There has been no homogeneity in the ways which universities account for disruptions due to COVID-19. Universities have varied in their adjustments to curriculums, unit structures and grading. For this reason, many universities have determined that these adjustments have skewed the GPA results in a way which renders them invalid or unreliable.

Other universities, such as Griffith, have taken a more liberal approach, deciding to allow students to opt in/opt out at their discretion.

How are interviews impacted?

Many universities are now hosting interviews online. You can find out more about online interviews (and how to prepare for them) here.
