Be Back Soon!!!!
Posted by lordgarlic under Uncategorized
Heyhey all blog readers (I don’t know how many of you there are but meh),
Apologies for the lack of updates in the last few months. I’ve just been busy with uni, personal things and what not. Hopefully this blog will be back up and running in a few weeks time in preparation for the coming uni year. Also I hope to have someone else help me contribute to the blog so we can get a perspective from different years at Auckland Uni!
Offers for the 2008 intake have been released on nDEVA so congrats to all those who have got offers! For those who are on the waitlist, don’t give up hope! there are several people in my class who have gotten in on the waitlist
Finally for those who were unlucky to get a place, don’t give up hope! It’s very hard for the med school to select candidates because everyone is so intellectual and awesome. Try again after you have completed your degree! Life doesn’t end just because nDEVA shows you an ugly 4 letter word starting with D.
For the new peeps coming in, don’t forget freshers camp on 22nd-24th of February on Motutapu Island. It’s a great occasion where you get to meet all your new classmates (If I saw you at the interviews you would have got this spiel from me so put up with it :P). It is a weekend of drinking and getting freebies from sponsors. Also grassroots will once again put on the rural olympics which is an awesome afternoon where you get to be feral and get dirty and enjoy yourself in the awesome summer weather!
Anyways if you have any questions, do pop on over to MSO www.medstudentsonline.com and sign up and ask!
Have a Happy New Year!

Hey Lordgarlic, I really like reading your blog entries, are you going to keep on writing? (I know you’re a busy guy, not trying to badger you! lol) I find your entries interesting and informative- i’m a 1st year biomed student at Auckland and I was just wondering how important extracurricular activities are? Cause during interviews apparently they like you better if you’re involved in heaps of things lol which is fair enough… also do you have any tips for the interview?
Cheers,
Jinnie
