[offtopic]We did? My memory's hopeless sorry.

Yes, I'll be back next year, looking forward to riding down the south island. I tried to find someone to flat with on here but my posts kept getting deleted so decided that's not a good idea.[/offtopic]

 

[frootloop]

[OFFTOPIC]Yeah, after a lab of some description lol. I have nfi where I'm living next year, but I suppose I'll deal with that when I get back down there. Unfortunately HSFY and social life don't mix very well, so I don't really know anyone well enough to be like 'hey, want to get a flat next year?' Haha[/OFFTOPIC]
Edit: Lol at how the last 5 posts on this thread have been 'offtopic'.

You might find in second semester things start to get a little more tight knit as a bunch will have been culled in the last lot of exams. Or maybe it'll become more cutthroat. I don't know. I presume most of you guys are in halls?

 

[frootloop]

I'm hoping that CHEM exam killed off a few (so long as I'm not among them )
And I'm at unicol, and I think most are in halls, but I know Cathay and Ben aren't.

 

[Hinemoa]

Chemistry definitely culled off a few, but I think that the people who failed a paper were never the competition for Medicine. We'll still be competing with the same 600 or so people who are getting high grades.

This is true, to some extent. I know a guy who got a 92% average last year (top 7 papers), but only 51% in chemistry, so wasn't eligible for medicine. There wouldn't be many cases like his, but I'd be willing to bet there's one or two (which means one or two people who might have gotten in, out of the running, which is good for the rest of us).

Blackboard => Health Sci First Year Announcements => Link...
Ah, might as well just give you the link, it's at the bottom (Form D) of this page.

 

[aaa24]

Well that was a failed attempt at finding it, for some reason i didn't even think of looking in blackboard....

Thanks again cath!

*Spams the refresh button on the PIMS results page* (Even though I'm well aware it'll be at least a few more days, if not a week, before there's anything there...)

 

[OtagoLol]

Date of last exam?

hey guys, what day was the last exam for HSFY (the ones at the end of the year in november) in the previous years? My parents are thinking of booking a holiday after which is in november but they want to make sure its a few days after the exams.

Im sure I read somewhere that the last day for all otago uni exams is 14 November but would health scis last exam be a bit earlier?

Thanks

 

[Cathay]

IIRC the monster thread had the 09 cohort finishing exams by the end of October (and apparently people who did MAOR had that exam a few days later, in early November)...

 

[frootloop]

It could depend on what 8th paper you take (if you take one) as to when your last exam is. I'd suggest playing it safe in terms of holiday booking, because for all you know your last exam could be *the* last exam.

 

[Cathay]

Yeah I'd agree with playing it safe, unless they can wait until late August to book the holiday? (Exam timetables are due out mid-August)

 

[OtagoLol]

they kinda need to know by tomorrow(real cheap plane tickets)...I guess I need to wait for someone whos done HSFY before + an 8th paper to reply to this lol...

btw am I correct in assuming the dates are all relatively the same every year for every exam? for HSFY at least?
