Regardless of your 8th paper, all core 7 papers need to be above 70% to be eligible for medicine
? I thought PHSI wasn't a core paper because it's math related and I'm taking Stats now ?

you are right, taking an 8th paper replaces your worst paper so as long as you get 70% on STAT115 your grade will be replaced and you will get an offer for medicine and your rejection letter will be cancelled
Thank you so much for the help <3

This is incorrect please don't listen to this guy. It doesn't matter what you get in your 8th paper at all. As long as your core seven are above 70 you are eligible for medicine.

lol he is my mate, he knows im joking
Is it still able to be replaced by a UCAT section over 700%
Why are you joking me?
To be clear (as I think we all know... haha) you definitely need over 70% in each of the seven HSFY papers, regardless of your 8th, to be eligible for medicine entry from HSFY.
Also, reminder to not use anyone else's name here too please.

Is this what a comic relief study break looks like, nowadays? 
(I'm giving benefit of the doubt and assuming that the whole thing was an elaborate practical joke?)
Are there still practical jokes in lectures these days? (You know, people dramatically bursting through the door, shouting or chanting something then promptly exiting, as some sort of dare.)
Anyways, good to see that the MSOtago community is pretty onto it re MBChB entry requirements!

Nope nothing interesting this year, apart from memorising tonnes of interesting facts

Yes I also believe if you get 700% in any UCAT section you immediately unlock the MAPAS and rural entry pathways!!!

Apparently you also get a free A+ for BIOC if you did really well in UCAT. So much freebies in HSFY this year

Yeah I for sure heard that. Also went to tutor hours for POPH and they told me my high situational judgement and verbal reasoning scores are enough for them to replace my humanities essay in the final completely
if only
Essay? (I only remember HUBS mini-essays in part 3 of the exam. Legit can't remember HEAL192, the precursor to POPH192, having an essay, but maybe it was just so bad that my brain blocked it out of my memory)
