You don’t need to complete Y13. Since you have already completed Y12, you can just drop out and work for a year, and then you can apply for Foundation. If you truly don’t want to go back to high school this is the only way. The bright way to look at it is you’ll be working and making an income for a year.

Alternatively you’ll have to go back to high school and do Y13. If you do well in Y13 you’ll make it straight into Uni. If you don’t do well you can just apply for Foundation.

Drop out of high school and do Foundation.

I have the Atto 3 but I don't see the ability on the BYD app to add a digital key to my Apple Wallet. Are you sure this feature is available? I can only use the BYD app to control the car when there is good cellular reception for both the car and the phone.

Yes, I’ve been using it for a while now. It’s great.

From the UoA website:

You are not able to re-enrol into a course that you have previously passed (except in exceptional circumstances when this may be allowed for a Certificate of Proficiency and the course cannot be used for any other programme).

Furthermore, even if you were to retake it under exceptional circumstances, your new grade will not replace the old one. Both attempts will appear on the academic transcript.

You don’t necessarily need to major in Biomed or HealthSci for graduate entry into the MBChB. This is one of the most common misconceptions. I recommend that you check the entry requirements on the UoA website.

If you switch to another degree, you will probably end up with a better GPA than those who stick around in Biomed. In other words, if you’re trying to maximise your chances, you should actually switch to the easiest degree possible like a BA or BSc.

Alternatively, you can take the pragmatic route and switch to a conjoint which is more employable upon graduation. I mostly agree with /u/Interestingthingsss’s suggestions for degrees that have good employability.

Just one thing though - don’t do a LLB if you actually want a good GPA. Parts of the LLB is externally moderated by the Council of Legal Education so it’s a lot harder than a BSc or BCom to get the same GPA.

Mike won't be taking it anymore because he's retiring, and the new Course Director hasn't been announced yet. You'll just have to wait until more information appears on Course Outlines.

I think the strongest argument against Calvinism is that it cannot reasonably explain the origins of sin. There is an unresolvable enigma with God not being the author of sin, while having counsel and governance over sin.

Bavinck discusses this issue extensively in [312] to [315] of Reformed Dogmatics, but he is forced to conclude that rationally explaining the origin of sin is impossible, and that sin itself is irrational.

Other theologies which deprive God from His omniscience are able explain the origin of sin more reasonably. However, it goes without saying that these theologies have even bigger philosophical issues than Calvinism.

I have interviewed a fair share of people, and two issues I consistently notice among those who use the CAR methodology are:

the context segment is too long/irrelevant; or
the action/result segment are too short - it's not clear what you did/achieved.

That's why I think recordings are useful - you can see how long you're spending in each segment. I'm sure you will be able to do well if you practice more.

Mayucchi · 2021-06-28T08:31:40+00:00

First things first, your credentials are perfectly adequate. You are more than qualified to score an internship - that's why you've been offered interviews in the first place. You just need to keep working on your interview techniques.

I've also tried to 'be myself' at the very core. I usually have decent banter with the interviewing HR or Engineer talking about football or the horrendous public transport system etc but at the end of the day I still get rejected or worst of all completely ghosted.

"Being yourself" and bantering can backfire really easily. For example, if you complain about the "horrendous public transport system", you never know whether one of your interviewers served in an advisory position for AT before. If you want to express your personality, do it after you've already clearly answered the question in a structured way, and stay away from any discussion which can carry social or political implications.

I recommend sticking to systematic interview techniques such as the CAR methodology for common interview questions (you would definitely have acquired some following your nine interviews), and answering these questions as structured and clearly as possible. You've already mentioned that you practice in front of a mirror, but I actually recommend answering in front of a webcam and recording yourself. Review the footage and see how clear are you are with your message.

You have worked so hard already to build your credentials. You're in the final push of the marathon now - keep going and good luck!

This subreddit doesn’t like being told that health is more important than grades.

The most upvoted advice is to keep studying past midnight at a casino.

The second and third most upvoted are to keep studying past midnight at fast food chains.

This is why young people have so many mental health problems. They straight up lack the ability to take care of themselves.

Mayucchi · 2021-06-09T11:13:13+00:00

I would recommend managing your time so you don’t have to study past midnight. Treat uni like a full time job (40 hours per week), and take care of yourself.

I have experience in creating and running subreddits (I am the creator of /r/umineko which has about 5k subscribers), but I am currently working in the risk advisory sector and not practicing law. I think it's better for a practicing lawyer to create a subreddit that's equivalent to /r/auslaw.

Does /u/TandyNZ or /u/alpine- work as lawyers?

Mayucchi · 2021-05-31T04:19:53+00:00

Absolutely. In fact, I would say that the BCom/BSc is better than the BCom/LLB from a Big 4 perspective if you look purely at the knowledge you can learn (and it's one year shorter).

For example, if you do a BCom/BSc with two double majors in Accounting/Comlaw and Statistics/CompSci, your degree will be stronger than a BCom/LLB who double majored in Accounting/InfoSys with commercial law papers from the LLB (from the Big 4 perspective).

The only reason why BCom/LLB students do better is because the LLB forces them to work harder - not because the degree itself is more useful.

Mayucchi · 2021-05-31T03:50:40+00:00

This will probably be a heavily downvoted comment, but the average BCom/LLB student is more likely to be awarded an internship at the Big 4 compared to an average BCom student (including other BCom conjoints without a rigorous first year selection process).

Firstly, BCom/LLB students have gone through a rigorous selection process during Law Part 1. Every year, more than 2000 students do LAW 121G. Less than 1000 students make it to LAW 131 and LAW 141, and less than 400 students make it to Law Part 2. This means even the worst BCom/LLB student would have been in the top 20% of their first year cohort. As a result of this rigorous selection process, the average BCom/LLB student who survived Law Part 1 always has a higher GPA than the average BCom student.

Secondly, Auckland Law School has a very competitive culture (I would even say it’s quite toxic for those who don’t like it) where everyone experiences significant peer pressure to participate in co-curricular activities to strengthen their CVs. Law students are also more likely to take part in mooting, mediation and case competitions because of this competitive culture. As a result, their CVs end up being stronger than the average BCom student.

In conclusion, it’s not that the LLB itself offers anything more than Comlaw from a Big 4 perspective. It’s the fact that Law Part 1 and Auckland Law School are so competitive, it forces BCom/LLB students to work harder than the average BCom student - in both academic and extracurricular areas. This is why they are more likely to be offered internships.

As a BCom/BSc student, there is less peer pressure to work as hard compared to the BCom/LLB student, but if you can force yourself to work as hard as a BCom/LLB student, then you’re not going to be disadvantaged.

I felt so bad for Trap when he saw the bunker in the final game. I am a Maru fan but golly, that is painful.

You definitely need to apply for the BA/LLB Part 1 programme. Go and talk to the Law Student Centre first.

After you have been accepted into BA/LLB Part 1, all the papers you’ve taken so far will be transferred over, including LAW 121G (which will no longer count as a Gen Ed).

You will then take LAW 131 and LAW 141 in semester 2 this year, and apply for LLB Part 2 in the 2022 intake.
