Hi,
Long-time lurker, first time poster. All of you on this website have filled me with anxiety for years.
OK, so this has been driving me crazy. When you filled out the application, was there a box to tick for UTAS anywhere? I half-remember looking for one but not seeing it. I think there was a box to tick the year before that, but now I'm doubting that memory as well. I *have* applied under UTAS this year as a student with disabilities, but I had to email the university to do so. I'm thinking I'll have a strong enough GPA/interview performance to get in under the general pathway, but I figure I may as well apply for this as well. Has anyone else applied under the disability category? It seems very unpopular for how broad the inclusion criteria is.
Also: for any other lurkers reading this in the future, pleaaaaase try to get appropriate paperwork and enroll with disability services if you haven't! I'm in the 2nd semester of my 4th year and I just had my first exam using a computer. On one hand, it was amazing and I was finally able to finish an exam.. on the other, I am so angry at myself for making things harder for myself for so long.
Hi guys, I've got a couple questions.
I'm looking at the graduate requirements and I've heard that Auckland takes your GPA from the last two years of study, however, their website says it takes all three years of your degree?
Secondly, I got a UCAT percentile score of 34 percentile and currently have a GPA of 8.5 (for the last two years of study), so what are my chances of getting an interview considering my UCAT was quite low?
Also, do we know when interview offers are meant to be released?

I got an interview offer via email.Is anyone still waiting on an interview invite?
I haven’t received one yet but my application status hasn’t changed to decline yet. Just wondering if they’ve all been sent out considering they start next week.

I think there will be two rounds of invitations. First round of invitations were sent out on 5th and I think second round would have been already sent out or be sent out by tomorrow.Is anyone still waiting on an interview invite?

That’s what I was thinking as well! Guess I’ll just have to keep waiting and watching those flight prices increase!I think there will be two rounds of invitations. First round of invitations were sent out on 5th and I think second round would have been already sent out or be sent out by tomorrow.
My friend is in the same position and he emailed the uni and they said second round offers should be out later this week.That’s what I was thinking as well! Guess I’ll just have to keep waiting and watching those flight prices increase!
Thank you. That’s incredibly reassuring to know I’m not the only one in this situationMy friend is in the same position and he emailed the uni and they said second round offers should be out later this week.
Just have a question about timetable for second year MBCHB. Are there lectures everyday? How many labs each week? What times would the lectures be? Thank you.
Hey guys,
I just got declined for otago med with a UCAT of 34 percentile. I have a GPA of 8.5 and I have my interview for auckland next week. Given I perform well in the interview, with a UCAT this low, is there still a decent chance to get in? Need a bit of hope after getting the bad news today

Hey are you first year or grad? Did any of your freinds or anyone else get an interview with the same or lower gpa as you? I’m just curious cause my freind also didn’t receive an offer yet but his gpa is higher than previous year cut offsHi guys, I have a 7.5 gpa and still have received no news of an interview invite from Auckland for med. is anyone else still waiting for an invite?
Ya 8.5 gpa for grad is a pretty good gpa and considering uoa only takes raw scores into account means that out of the 15% for ucat, you will only lose a small amount compared to a 90th percentile ucat candidate. So you can probs make up for that in your interview which would not be that hard if your good at interviews. Also a 90th percentile candidate may not as have high gpa as you do...that’s a bonus for you.Hey guys,
