I have subscribed immediately because I have the same aspirations as you. I am a second year biomed student at a university in South Africa. I pray that by 2022,i will be able to join you in New Zealand

[@PHILLYMEDIC69]

I was heavily leaning towards University of Auckland for medicine but I got admitted to an Irish school instead.

[@just_cintha4502]

OMG!!! I'm so glad I found you channel. I'm a 1st year college student but my parents want me to study medicine in NZ in yhe future. This really helped me a lot! Thank you. God bless you in your journey. ❤️

[@tabbycharles9466]

Thank you for sharing I am 24 and I am experiencing the same quarter life crisis 😰

[@MoratweMasima]

Goodluck on your journey 💕💕

[@sugariiesw33t]

Moratwe Masima Thanks so much girl! ❤️

Hi Anna, fellow Canadian student/ aspiring doctor here- I am wondering if you just did the CARs section of the MCAT? or if you took the whole exam? Are you able to just take the CARs section and ignore the rest? I am a psychology student in the faculty of science at my university, so I have a good background in biology but have not taken any chemistry or physics past high school, and really don't plan on it.Your story is so inspiring for me, so glad I found your channel!!

[@nadasaad1572]

OMGGG I heard the university of Auckland actually offers scholarships to students from my country but i didn't think they offer scholarships to medical school. thats so cool !! thanks for the video

[@Chambely]

Sis this video found me at the same place. I am 24 and I am a registered nurse in the U.S. I am shook😶

[@deklintaumata6244]

It's so weird seeing people wanting to leave their home country to come to New Zealand. I will be at UoA next year and plan on doing postgrad internationaly, so it's the same feeling just reversed.

[@enopiamarydanielled.2138]

Does the university really not require an MCAT, especially for international students?

[@Karen-qd6kd]

Great video, I like your explanations it is very helpful! May I ask why you decided not to continue nursing and be a doctor? I'm a college student who's debating between med school and nursing, thanks!🥰

[@evangelinagarcia9336]

Do the schools you applied to in NZ and Australia look at gpa?

[@matthewl1726]

hi, anna. if you dont mind me asking what was your cumulative gpa? i have gpa of 3.0 and how competitive is New Zealand?

[@janelleong1485]

how was the interview like with university of Auckland ? :)

[@mariego2068]

Hi do I have to take the IELTS exam before applying to university of auckland? Tysm!'😊

[@akinsunmipeace3485]

Can I get a scholarship with a GPA of 3.5 please?

[@andrewruesga2170]

Did you apply to the 1st year biological/health sciences or skip straight to the 2nd year “med school”?

[@arcticmonkeys30]

Hey Anna, when did you go through the skype interview and how long after that did you receive the offer?

[@sugariiesw33t]

Hi Mahdhir! I had my interview in September and heard back 1-2 weeks later :)

[@arcticmonkeys30]

@@sugariiesw33t omg awesome, i just received a conditional offer! was there a deposit you had to make once you accepted the offer btw?

[@sugariiesw33t]

@@arcticmonkeys30 Wow big congratulations to you, that's so exciting! I don't think I had to make a deposit, but you do have to make sure you pay at least your first-semester tuition fees a little before the semester starts to ensure you get your student visa processed in time before the school year starts (if you're an international student!)

[@huynhphan2789]

Hi Anna, Could I ask what the program that you applied for at the UoA? Is it Doctor of Medicine or is ir Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery? Thanks heaps Anna

[@marietatiene]

Is it possible for me to apply during my final year of biomed?

[@azifahahmed4462]

Hi Anna, I am a registered nurse from Australia. I am also interested studying medicine in NZ. I did not do too well in nursing school my gpa 4.85. I than did a graduate diploma of diagnostics genetics and then just completed my masters in diagnostics genetics but still my gpa is not competitive. Can you please give me some advise ? Thanks heaps

[@azifahahmed4462]

Anna, Also I have checked it’s really expensive to study if you don’t get scholarship. Do you know if it will be any cheaper for Australian citizens?

[@xiyeonchang8221]

Hi what month can i start applying? I’m also an international student applying for the next school year 😊

[@sugariiesw33t]

Xiyeon Chang I believe you can apply all year round! They usually interview you a month after you apply if you meet their GPA requirements. Just keep in mind school term starts late February/early March so if you don’t apply before then you’ll just be considered for the following academic year I assume :)

[@musiqueoumourir]

Hi Anna! I'm curious if any of your fellow international students are American/does the University of Auckland School of Medicine accept US applicants? Thanks and good luck!

[@sugariiesw33t]

Hi Kelly, yes they do! They accept international students from all over the world and there are some US students in my cohort! Feel free to check out my interview with Darius here as we talk about that, as well as more about UoA, what school is like here and how the interview was etc!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaDClIuZf9mWoc0
