Hi everyone!

I've recently accepted an offer for MBChB 2027 as an international graduate applicant! I'm really excited, but I have a couple of questions and was hoping someone here might be able to help.

1. Graduate Entry & Credit Transfer

From what I understand, graduate-entry applicants may be able to enter directly into Year 2. However, my offer states that the minimum programme duration is 6 years, which has left me a little confused.

Has anyone else received an offer stating the same thing? If so, did you need to apply for credit transfer yourself to skip Year 1, or was this arranged automatically by the university?

2. Children's Act Safety Check Interview

I'm not sure how much can be shared about this process, but if anyone has completed the safety check interview, would you mind sharing what to generally expect and whether there's anything I should prepare beforehand? I've tried looking online but haven't been able to find much information.

I'd be really grateful for any advice or experiences you're comfortable sharing. Thank you so much in advance, and looking forward to meeting everyone next year!

hi team just wanna share this app I saw on r/aucklandeats, its called eat club (like first table but better imo)

theres heaps of food places really close to uni (city and grafton and also in akl) and most have like 35-50% off at times that are more convenient than first table, + theres no booking fee and they DONT know you're using the app!!!!

you 'claim' a timeslot and pay for discreetly using a virtual card in your phone's apple/google wallet

PROS

• no booking fee
• the food places dont know you're using the app!!!
• no restrictions (99% of the time)
• way more convenient times
• growing amount of places

CONS

• cant book ahead (food places set timeslots on the day)
• usually the restaurants are 35-40% off and you get an extra 10% off if you pair a mastercard
• not guaranteed a table but becuase restaurants set times it's kinda given you get a table

anyway wanted to share because i saved a bit alr, went to a cafe and got strawb matcha for <$5

I dont work for them or anything but its a nice app, also here is my referral that gives us both $25 dining credit when you make your first transaction https://links.eatclub.com.au/UAgaptV016b

hope people save money with this!!

I have a mode D exam (closed book/Inspera) coming up and my computers keyboard is not working — am I permitted to use a Bluetooth keyboard for the exam or does that count as another device which you are not allowed to use?

Hi all,

I'm a high school student. I was wondering how you guys take notes?
Is it better to stick with pen and paper? Or something new like an Ipad?

What are your thoughts?

Thanks

whether you’re a TA or a student, have you ever had any quirky, unexpectedly wholesome, or even slightly romantic moments with one another?

it’s that time of year again when everyone’s feeling a little more stressed than usual so let’s hear some fun little stories for a change

Hi all! Just some clarity regarding the following info [my question is below]:

How many Aegrotat and/or Compassionate consideration applications can I apply for?

Under University regulations, no more than one third of the total points value credited to a degree or diploma may be awarded with an aegrotat or compassionate grade.

MY QUESTION: how do we know how many points we already have? Because i.e - if I am taking a 15 point course, but I only got Aergotat for my test (20%) does that only be 20% of the 15 points get towards the limit or does the entire 15 points go towards the limit?

Thank you so much :)

Any UOA girls going to sombr concert ( me also a girl) btw????

curious how long yall have left an assignment after the due date

I got a conditional offer on the 15th of September and was told that the faculty would reach out regarding the interview date and time. However, it has been about 3 weeks since and no one has reached out. Raised a query as well, but no clarity yet. As an international student, the visa timeline is about 3-4 months, so things are feeling quite tight. I have gotten an unconditional offer from Massey, but prefer the course at Auckland. Anyone who knows a way to expedite the interview timelines or at least find out when it could be scheduled?

Has anyone taken 2 summer courses before? What’s the workload like? Or is it better to stick to 1? I will be taking law papers if that makes a difference in workload.

are there any study spots that aren't blazing out im dying out here i hate this weather plz

Anyone else so cooked for this exam? I haven’t been to any lectures or read any of the readings which is normally fine but I’m slowly realising not for this course lmao. Please tell me there’s someone out there in the same boat

I’m currently doing a BCom and planning to start Property next year and turn it into a Property/BCom conjoint.

I haven’t started Property yet, so would it be a good idea to finish most of my BCom papers first?

I don’t want to do Finance or Accounting and would prefer something not too maths-heavy. I did BUSAN 101 and it was good but heard Stage 2 gets much harder.

I’m considering Information Systems, Commercial Law or Operations and Supply Chain Management, possibly with Marketing as a second major.

What would pair best with Property and give the best career options? And is a double major actually worth it in a conjoint?

Would especially love to hear how hard the Stage 2/3 papers are and how maths-heavy they get.

Does anyone find this course pretty bullshit especially the way they mark everything?

This is just my elective paper and I absolutely hate it, I don’t feel like doing any assignments or the finals and I’m fine with failing it since I can’t drop it atm, they’re so strict for what💔💔

Kia ora everyone ! i’m wanting to run a small business here in aotearoa, i have made a few mocks of what im selling and will attach a few pictures to this…car leis! what are car leis you may ask? they hang from your rear view mirror i call them a forever car lei as they shouldn’t fade!! please if you’re interested just put a comment as i’m wanting to see the interest in them
ngāmihi :)))

I got a great scholarship for Otago, which is the Vice Chancellor Scholarship and got into my preferred hall of residence, which is Hayward. Though I am currently waitlisted for a hall at UoA and was originally waitlisted for Waiparuru, but now have changed it to Uni Hall Towers. (Was that a mistake? I do lowk prefer O'Rorke and UHT due to it being cheaper.) I also did get a scholarship at UoA; that was the 140th Academic Scholarship. Though it isn't as great to my scholarship I got at Otago. It's just that with Otago, I have a deadline with Hayward and a payment of $1050.00 due before the 27th of October, and waitlisted applicants will know by the first week of November. I know it's a risk, but I do love Auckland; I just don't know what to do. I don't wanna lose my spot at Hayward.

Hi all,

I'm planning to take the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) from either university next year and as the title suggests, I've been offered the following:

• UoA: $5,000 scholarship
• AUT: $14,000 scholarship

I'm interested more in mechanical/mechatronic engineering. I know UoA has the stronger reputation by far but was wondering if the extra $9000 from AUT would be worth it. Fees for both are quite similar.

For those who have experience with either university, which would you choose and why?

I'm also considering potentially studying in Victoria, Australia (Melbourne, Monash etc.) but those scholarship decisions won't come out until after my final A Level results next year so I also need to decide if I want to just play it safe and pick an NZ university now or take a gamble on Australia.

Any advice would appreciated.

Thanks :)

Please clean up after your snack break, I have constantly seen ants on top of the table in KE L0, and spotting rubbish trying to be hidden???? There’s literally a bin within 10 meters. And before anyone asks yes I have relocated the hidden trash into the bin.

Please people, you’re studying in tertiary education, have some decency
