So Med has this requirement that you completed your degree within the last 5 years, normally within the minimum time.
I don't think the intention is to rule out PhD or MPhil students becuase they were tricked into doing a PhD...
But maybe it is.
Maybe they let PhD students through without requiring that additional payment of fees / 6 month extension... Maybe they sign off without taking 3 months (6 months total to examine)... Maybe they do in cases where people have things lined up.
Only... I had Med lined up.
That was going to happen...
Only: They lied to me and told me it was not. They said my GPA was too low. So I pointed out that they used years I was enroled part time to calcualte my GPA and they were supposed to use years I was enroled full time. My GPA was much higher from my full time years.
They say 105 points for A and B semester is minimum for full time status.
So... Graduate Research Degrees don't count?
The qualification must have been completed within the last 5 years...
Is the idea that sometime before year 4 of graduate study you realise graduate study in this country is a fools errand and you get the hell out / into Med on the basis of your prior degrees?
The whole thing doesn't make sense...
The whole thing feels f*ck*ng arbitrary.
The people in charge of such things never like me.
THemselves / their kids come first.
