Entrance in Medical School in Australia and NSW

Being a rather excited Year 12, I had researched most of the pathways to enter medical school in Australia. However, most of my research was limited when I realised that jetting all around Australia to attend interviews was a rather costly enterprise to undertake, so I focused on my home state, New South Wales.
As an aside, New Zealand medical schools are also considered Australian in terms of Australians being treated as locals, and vice versa.

So there are two types of medical degrees, undergraduate (does not require a previous degree) and graduate (does require a previous completed degree). I'll abbreviate undergraduate as UG, and graduate as GD from now on.

UG Medical degrees are starting to die out in Australia, which could be influenced by the American style of medical school entry, which is similar to GD Medical degrees - doing a degree first (in America you can enter Pre-Med which provides the scientific basis of Medicine in a degree). UG degrees are either 5 or 6 years in length, and most in Australia now incorporate clinical or hospital exposure from very early on (first few weeks).
GD Medical degrees are generally 4 years in length, and the degree you must do prior to entry into GD Medicine can be completely unrelated to Medicine.

There are 3 main obstacles you have to overcome for entry into a medical degree:

~ University Entrance score (UAI/ENTER/TER/etc.) from final year secondary school exams for UG Medicine, or GPA/WAM/University degree score from your previous degree, for GD Medicine. Take note that many UG Medical Schools will consider your GPA/WAM if you have done a year of tertiary study, generally in combination with your final secondary school score.

~ UMAT (Undergraduate Medicine Admissions Test) is a prerequisite into entry in all UG Medical degrees in Australia, with the exception of James Cook University in Queensland, and University of Sydney's Provisional Entry into their GD program. The UMAT can be likened to an IQ and EQ (Emotional Quotient) test; which test, in 3 separate sections, your ability in reasoning, empathy, and spatial pattern/shape recognising. The graduate version of this is the GAMSAT, which is, anecdotally, more difficult than the UMAT.

~ The interview process vastly differs across all universities. The one university that does not use interviews in their selection process is the University of Queensland for their Combined medicine degree. The interview is generally conducted in one of two formats; MMI (Multiple Mini Interviews), in which you take multiple separate interviews with a different interviewer each time, or a standard interview with either a panel or a person.

In New South Wales, the current universities (as of 2009) that have a Medical School are:
UG: University of NSW, University of Western Sydney, University of Newcastle/New England (Joint Medical Program), University of Sydney (Provisional Entry into their GD program)
GD: University of Sydney, University of Woollongong, Australian National University (actually in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT))
Edit: University of Notre Dame has a GD program at it's Sydney campus (the university was originally based in WA)
