Hello =)
I'm really stuck about the options I have, and would very appreciate any advice:cry:
This is my situation:
I'm currently studying OLY1, and my mid semester test results came out as utter disaster. I've done a simple gpa calculation, and the max gpa I can get now is A- (this is "if" I gained all A+ in sem2 -quite unlikely), which will probably end up as B+ by the end of the year.
Also I did so awful in the core papers, that I know I won't even be "considered" for med now:cry:
It's completely my own fault for getting such bad results (I hate myself for not being able to try hard enough), and I know I should face reality now, but I can't stop thinking about it and getting depressed...
I really really don't want to give up on med.
and so,
In NZ I have 1 more chance left -applying as a graduate, which I will work towards while I'm at UoA.
Also
I've looked at unis in Australia too -applying as a non-standard. I've gone through many threads talking about non-standard entries into med, but it's still not quite clear in my head...:huh:
non-standard = selection by UMAT result & gpa (& interview)? I think? And you can apply for it as long as you're studying at uni? From any area of study (eg. does it have to be a science related degree)?
If my 1st year gpa did end up as B+, would it pull down the overall gpa that will be used for applying as NZ graduate & Aus non-standard? Would it affect a lot? If it does, what could I do about it?
Sorry for asking so many questions:unsure: My brain's overloaded with med application pathways atm (should be overloaded with 107 & 110 stuff...)
