Hi,
I will have to go on their website to check out your physics paper.
With regards to CHEM191, when you say further topics in the second semester, do you mean for HSFY or for further CHEM papers?
For HSFY

Since adventuretime is a chemistry graduate, I would think chemistry concepts in BIOC192 would be a piece of cake! I always thought you could do BIOC192 without CHEM191 but that's a different topic.
Haha yes, but it would seem I am going through a worrying/doubting phase! But thanks guys, ill put that to the side now
Hi everyone, I have a overseas degree BSC in in Human Biology. My only dilemma is that I won’t make the cut the 3 year criteria for alternative category as I completed my degree back in 2006.
Does this mean that I need to complete a another degree before I apply for MhChb?

you might want to look in the Graduate category topic page for this information. It doesn't seem like GPA is very important in the alternate category for entry. I don't even know what mine is! I'd say it was in the average range. Can figure it out for you if you really want to know thoughHi all! congratulations to those of you who are starting med this year! Anyone willing to share what their GPA was?

Hi everyone!
I'm another hopeful planning to apply to Otago via the 'other' category this year. Congrats to everyone that will be starting med next month!
I was wondering if anyone has experience applying for both Auckland and Otago alt category at the same time? I'm concerned that UMAT dates seem to be around the same time as the interviews, and whether its been a problem for anyone in the past?
A little bit about myself - I'm originally from Japan and came to NZ about 6 years ago to complete a BSc (was granted citizenship last year!). I work in clinical research in the public hospital, and gained a lot of experience as a research assistant doing anaesthetics and neurosurgery studies, and moved up to clinical trial coordinator for oncology/haematology. I've also been studying towards a MHSc with the dept of surgery, while working, and will be finishing next month- so I'm planning on applying for Auckland grad entry as well. Working in the public healthcare system has really made me realise I want to study medicine. On top of that, a very close family member became terminally ill with cancer back home in Japan, and after experiencing the receiving end of healthcare it has really motivated me to pursue a career in med. I don't have any volunteering experience as most of my time has been occupied with work/study/family commitments, but I'm hoping my application is good enough to at least get an interview. (although from reading back on this thread I still don't know how the committee decide who gets in and who doesn't!)
Hay twiila,
I applied for both at the same time and the UMAT test date was about a month after I had my interview, so I wouldn't worry about it.
You sound like a very qualified applicant with a lot of research/study under your belt, which I'm sure they'll appreciate! I wouldn't worry too much about not having specifically done much volunteering, but what I would say is it pays to also mention things you've done/do outside of your working life (i.e extracurricular activities, sports, community involvement etc - anything you feel is relevant), as well as your professional experiences. I could be wrong but I get the impression they look for people with a bit of balance in their lives.
Someone else might want to, but I won't speculate on whether or not you'll get an interview at the risk of being completely wrong and misleading you.
Either way though good luck for your application! I hope it goes well

I'd be keen to catch up. Am in Auckland though...Any other Alternate entry people currently doing 2018 HSFY papers?
If so, and you would like to meet up, lets do that!
To those who applied last year, how are the referees contacted?
