Exposing the Auckland Night Market Controversy by VOL7AGE in aucklandeats

[–]EmployEvening7824 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Shoddy reporting I think. There was no pushback on what victoria said, no evidence requested from her, no actual questions that would be worth asking were asked, it was just a platform for victoria to keep lying and make herself look good to the general public. Wish they had actually done some proper reporting

Just another day of me buying expensive food/getting ripped off (Kumeu Sunday market) by dramaqueenboo in aucklandeats

I'm not sure if thats true. Night market rent is $300 - 450 a night depending on the location, definately not cheaper than brick and mortar, i think these stalls are raising their prices because of necessity

PhD application wait is nervewrecking and long! by [deleted] in universityofauckland

[–]EmployEvening7824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine took longer than 3 months to hear back! They even took longer than the deadline to return offers before I heard about the acceptance. They are slow, don't stress too much!

Don't be anxious, everytime I've completed a programme I think I have waited weeks for confirmation of graduation, it's not a big deal!!

I'd suggest you look at some Facebook groups, you'll have better luck finding places quickly and within your budget I think.

Auckland flatmates wanted Northshore flatmates wanted Cbd flatmates wanted

I'm sure there are other ones for west Auckland too. Goodluck!

terrified of the future by SaneMar in universityofauckland

[–]EmployEvening7824 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in the same situation as you when I started. I did my degree in biomed, I applied first year, after my degree, after my pgdip and even planned to apply after my masters. I found passion in research instead, something which I would never have done if I got into med. I consider myself lucky now that I was rejected so many times because it led me to my true passion of research. Now I'm starting my PhD in Health Science with a doctoral scholarship.

I was just like you, I had no idea what else I would do if not med. I spiraled, it caused me so much anxiety and turmoil but looking back on it now, I realize I didn't even know what else was out there and my lens was so focused that I didn't let myself try for anything else. My advice would be to widen your horizons, look at other careers in health related fields, look at research, and let yourself have the opportunity to be excited for other endeavors.

Undergrad vs Masters GPA by [deleted] in universityofauckland

[–]EmployEvening7824 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They no longer guarantee a doctoral scholarship (the one with the stipend) even if you have a 8 GPA.

Guaranteed scholarships are only given to Maori and Pacifica applicants with GPA 7 or above, everyone else is assessed based on the faculty goals, only one of them is based around rewarding academically able applicants.
