Yes, but like very few with gpa of 8.25 or less (Umat doesnt matter too much, my friend had umat of 6X) assuming your an undergraduate entrant and no MAPAS or ROMPE. But I maybe wrong since I don't know like half my class -_-... I hope I have not shattered your hope or anything... but don't lose hope, because you could always be one of the ones who make it up with really good interview marks.

that sounds about right, its been roughly 7.5 ish.
I didn't wear a tie to the interview because it was so hot on the day X_X, but couple of my friends did wear a tie. I think student doctor combo is best =D. Never dared trying scrubs and stethoscope XD

GL Med hopefuls!! Keep your cool in the interview, it's really important to overcome the nerves!! =)
 
@ nzer : I know of a a few people with 8 on their cores, most of them have interviews on Monday the 14th i believe.

as for myself, already getting stressed about the interview. Got my email at around 11.30pm a few days ago now. Turns out the person was still up and even replied to my confirmation. Anyone else feeling unprepared? Lol.
 
I'm just gonna wear a shirt and dress pants/shoes and bring a tie just in case everyone else it wearing one and I'm left out :lol:
 
Apparently the cut-off GPA this year is quite high. I know someone with 7.5 and didn't get an interview offer. Hmm my prediction from the medsci results seems to be inacurate. On the other hand, how's the preparation going everyone? I'm reading ethics
 
I think they were. When i got mine it said to confirm with them that i'd be attending by 3 December 5pm. Im guessing that everyone else had the same deadline (guys?), in which case they've probably all been sent out
 
No everyone has the different deadlines, mine and 2 of my other friends all have different times. But i guess that if people haven't got the offer by now they probably got cut off unfortunately. Do correct me if i'm wrong.
 
My deadline was the 2nd of Dec, so it seems it does vary depending on the date and time of your interview. However, i would have thought those who have been cut off would receive notification of sorts.
 
ah.. when do we know if we're accepted or not? i heard last year the results were given like 2 days after the last interviews, can anyone confirm..?
 
Last year was 23rd of December if I remember correctly, cause it was 1 day after Otago's offers came out.

Edit: Actually I can't remember if 23rd was Otago or Auckland now o_O

day after the last day of interviews usually. But can be 2 days after. Definitely before christmas usually
