Bond Medicine Admissions Process Explained

Bond Medicine uses a step-by-step elimination process. Each stage is independently assessed — scores do not carry forward.

Quick Summary

• ATAR → decides who is invited to the Psychometric Test
• Psychometric Test → decides who is invited to the MMI interview
• MMI interview → decides the final offer

STEP 1

ATAR (Academic Screening)

Your ATAR has one role only: to decide who receives a Psychometric Test invitation.

• ATAR is assessed on its own
• No interview / personal statement is considered at this stage
• Once you progress, ATAR is no longer used

STEP 2

Psychometric Test

~800 candidates are invited. Your test result alone determines who progresses to the MMI.

• ATAR is not considered after this point
• Focus is on judgement, reasoning, and decision-making
• This stage decides the interview invitation

STEP 3

Multiple Mini Interview (MMI)

~500 candidates are interviewed. The interview score alone decides the final outcome.

• Everyone starts on equal footing at interview
• ATAR + Psychometric scores do not carry forward
• This is the most decisive stage

FINAL

Final Offers

~200 offers are typically made — based 100% on interview performance.

Key rule: Each stage is a fresh competition. Success at one stage does not guarantee the next.

Common Misunderstandings (and the Truth)

❌ “A high ATAR guarantees a place.”

✅ ATAR only helps you reach the test stage.

❌ “A strong test score will help at interview.”

✅ Interview is assessed on its own.

How to Prepare (Stage-by-Stage Strategy)

1. ATAR stage: Focus on academic consistency and ranking.
2. Psychometric stage: Practise judgement + reasoning style questions.
3. Interview stage: Build communication, ethical reasoning, reflection, and MMI practice.

Final takeaway: ATAR → Test invite, Test → Interview invite, Interview → Final offer.
