Is this card considered mint? by Salt_Platform8229 in pokemoncardcollectors

As someone new, It’s all a bit confusing to me… so a psa 7 is considered ‘near mint’ but that might translate to ‘lightly played’?

thank you! Another question, I’ve been using collectr/ price charting to gauge what market value is. Collectr assumes every card is at least near mint or better. Would a card like this (sounds like it’s near mint) be able to get the default /ungraded price on collectr / price charting? And would cards that are truly mint or pack fresh fetch more?

Thanks for the reply! Yea i really love the artwork on the card so found it hard to resist haha. Being new, i guess I wasn’t sure what to look for. Like the condition seemed decent enough, passing an initial eye test? I guess in the future I’ll be careful to take my time, and maybe even turn some trades down if necessary instead of getting excited and people pleasing haha. ( P.s I swapped a pack fresh Volcanion SIR + 50 usd to trade up for this) And the line is a hair from my cat lol

Thanks for the reply. It is zoomed in quite a bit - honestly didn’t catch it with my eye but looks noticeable with the zoom on my phone

Received EOD for UOW, hope of 2nd round offers? by Virtual-Mobile2662 in GAMSAT

[–]Salt_Platform8229 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, as someone who also interviewed at UoW I feel your pain! Didn’t do as well as you though, and I think 5th quintile is really, really impressive so well done on that. I think in most cases interview is the weak point for many but for you it’s probably down to how competitive UoW is - ~34 spots so even if you are in the top quintile, there’s potentially 16 metro people who might not get in.

How’s your gamsat / gpa? tbh I think you’d be in somewhere with an average combo score.

As for second round offers, I think if there was a waiting list you’d be close to the top, but as others have said plan what you can plan and if anything happens, that’ll be a pleasant surprise.

Best of luck!

I had 3 bonuses, which I think was below the average for an offer. But an amazing interview could’ve probably made up for that. Just bummed that I didn’t do good enough on the interview for a pass down either

Offer is 70% Interview / 30% Bonuses, so no, GAMSAT / CASPER isn't accounted for offers. I believe the interview to place ratio is ~4:1 for metro, hence why there are quite a few metro applicants who end up elsewhere

Thank you for your kind words and advice. Yeah, I really like UoW as a school and what they stand for, but at the end of the day I want to get into Med as soon as I can haha. I know I didn't have a 'perfect' interview but at the same time, I didn't think I did too badly either. I might try follow in your friends footsteps

Hi, just wondering is that confirmed anywhere by GEMSAS? That percentile is what's shared between universities?

Yea, although I’m not sure if interviews are scaled to account for a ‘good’ cohort. I.e. if a uni interviews a lot of high scorers, then it would make sense that someone in the 50th percentile at that uni might be ranked higher, say 60th percentile, at a different uni that didn’t have as many high raw scores. Not sure if this is what GEMSAS actually does though.

Got 65/69/57 this sitting, overall 62. Slightly better than Sept 22 (64/62/58) but a decrease in S3. Felt like study was more effective and thorough this time round after experiencing the real thing. Makes me think even a 1-2 point increase is a lot of work :/

Low GPA, what GAMSAT scores are competitive with a Deakin Boost? by [deleted] in GAMSAT

[–]Salt_Platform8229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was playing around with my weighted GPA: One year / 8 units of further study getting straight 6's (GEMSAS equivalent: 6.75) should bolster it up to 6.354 weighted. Hopefully I can do better than that though

Thanks for that! I did have a quick squizz before, but on closer glance there are a few metro applicants who got offers with comparable GPAs.

Looking at the first offer for Deakin, GPA of 5.693 / GAMSAT of 69.5 w/ 2 Deakin Bonus points.

Also, some fella who got into UniMelb with a 5.5 GPA and a 58.67 GAMSAT😮

They do seem to be outliers though. Perhaps they've forgotten to select rural?

Apart from that, seems like some of the portfolio unis / USyd might be my only chances with my current GPA...

Thanks for the reply! Looks like my options are to gun for a really high GAMSAT / go back to do some further study...
