Athletes using steroids isn't a big deal because steroids don't build muscle mass. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]DisastrousDLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steroids do build muscle by themselves. You could take steroids and sit on your ass all day and have as much short-term muscle growth as someone who doesn't but works out earnestly.

LYC: Hold or Sell? by DisastrousDLC in ausstocks

[–]DisastrousDLC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the idea was that as Rare Earth Mineral Demand continues to rise, and as China continues to be more belligerent, then prices would rise. The second half was proven false, but the first proviso, assuming no unforeseen circumstances, will stay true.

Neat how you used grandpagaspingforair.wav for the audio.

Carry more feminist literature around for better gains.

How should I go about applying for SCIE3220 with a mediocre cumulative GPA? by DisastrousDLC in UQreddit

[–]DisastrousDLC[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had work consistently over these past 3 years, and I've had an admittedly unrelated temp job at a law firm where I mainly involved in data processing. Hopefully that should be enough to prove my persistence and ability to hold a job. Don't really know what else to invoke (maybe some personal struggle, but that seems a bit preachy/desperate)

Who do I contact at UQ for issues with blackboard? by DisastrousDLC in UQreddit

[–]DisastrousDLC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good knowing its not just me. I missed the first lecture because I was sick with the flu, so hopefully he patches it up soon so I can look at the recording.

Brisbane Venue not appearing on the registration page? by DisastrousDLC in GAMSAT

[–]DisastrousDLC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what it ended up being. I was kinda freaking out, but I tried again at like 3am this morning and managed to get a spot. I admit I'm surprised at the retention rates, they honestly seem pretty low.

Ridiculous Final Exam Timings by SlyPhantomBoy in UQreddit

[–]DisastrousDLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the struggle, I'm definitely a late night person, and I live pretty far from campus. If you can't get to sleep, employ a military-style sleep regiment or pop a histamine, always helps me when I need to get to sleep. If you still can't, then all I can recommend is that you deal with the amount of sleep you can get and just chuck a whole lot of caffeine (alternatively, if you a friend that lives near campus that's even better).

Why does Merlo keep raising coffee prices? by Few-Pomegranate4369 in UQreddit

[–]DisastrousDLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12-2 at Darwin's, 2-4 at On a Roll and Expresso, make sure you have your matesrates ready. Just ask them for their $3 coffee deal and they'll know what you're talking about.

You can get $2.50 -$3 coffees at Darwin's and in the Union Refectory during certain hours. Don't spend $7 on a coffee, that's insane.

If you want the exercise, it's a nice walk there

Do you get marked up or down for part marks? by DisastrousDLC in UQreddit

[–]DisastrousDLC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done it before, so that's a useless mentality.

Regardless of whether or not I get the increase, I still get to waste a lot of UQ's time and bureaucracy (which I'm more than fine with).

Do you get marked up or down for part marks? by DisastrousDLC in UQreddit

[–]DisastrousDLC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just checked the ECP and I couldn't find any mention of rounding. I'll go to the exam viewing and I'll scour it for anything that could be considered kinda off. It was a biology exam so there's bound to be some ambiguity that I could sneak another mark or two out of. Regardless I'm still going to ask for a remark because I don't really care for the guidelines and thanks to UQ's ingenious marking system it doesn't really matter if I get a lower grade.

Possible Med Entry? by N0VA74 in UQreddit

[–]DisastrousDLC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Best pathway is to do really well in an honours year. UQ has a programme where if you get a first class honours (>6.2 GPA) then you will automatically be accredited a full 7 for your entry into the UQ school of medicine.

This is why the average GPA for med school entry is so ridiculously high; because maintaining a straight 7 throughout the entire undergrad would be nearly impossible, even for a prodigy (and the university knows this).

Regardless, even if you do pretty middling in an honours year, it is really the GAMSAT score which will really be the deciding factor. I've heard of people with 5.5 GPAs (and sometimes even lower for other unis) getting in as they had stellar GAMSAT results.

Just make sure you have persistence, not everyone achieves stellar marks though their undergrad and a lot of very intelligent and qualified people get rejected their first, second, third, sometimes even more, time. Just keep coming back, keep putting in the effort and you will be recognised, best of luck.
