General stream: applicants are ranked for MMI invitation by equal weighting of GPA + GAMSAT + applicable adjustments; following the MMI, a final aggregate = equal weighting of GPA+GAMSAT+adjustments (50%) + MMI score (50%); offers made in ranked order against places available. Rural Training Stream and Indigenous Entry Stream use separate tiered/aggregate formulas.
