I expected them to process my application according to the algorithm that they published. The algorithm that they apparently use or apply to applications in order to decided objectively who gets a place.
So that decisions about who gets a place... Well... The effect of such things as having an ugly face are mitigated (somewhat) with structured interviews and the like.
Only... They aren't applying their algorithm to applications at alll. The algorithm is intentionally compliacted in a way that obscures and hides and conceals (they believe) the fact that they aren't making decisiosn on the basis of their algorithm at all.
It became obvious to me around November. WHen it became obvious to me tha they realised that they were required to train me.. They were required to select me.. Because my rank order score was high enough for them to be required to offer me a place. So what they did in the face of that...
Was refuse to get my work to external examiners. In order to prevent and prohibit my qualification completion.
That was the lengths they went to in order to keep me out of Medicine.
They threw away free speech, intellectual freedom etc.
So I wrote that into my thesis. About how they were not making decisions on the basis of the objective selcetion criterion. Because I had proof of that. Because of how they were insisting on miscalculating my GPA (according ot their algorithm) to try and hide (from me) the fact that they weren't allowing me to complete 1 year of research in 1 year because they are not offering places on the basis of their algorithm at all.
They are offering them to...
Well...
Some kiddies paid a lot of money to Crimson Education etc. And they expect a return on tehir investment. THey couldn't pay Crimson Education enoguh to do well enough in more objective examinations (e.g., Cambridge Curriculum Exams) so they expect to pay them enough to get picked for NZ Universities (to be given the answers to domestic NCEA exams and University of Auckland and Otago exams) and get places locally or domestically instead.
Auckland said to Waikato 'you are not going to let her get away with this --- are you????' When I said that I had sumitted my thesis in time for it to be passed by external examienrs in 1 year therefore they were required to offer me a place or not on the basis of my rank order score. My GPA was already locked in from previous years of study. So they couldnt' just make up a GPA for me that turned out to be too low (like they do for most other applicants).
See...
They assign the grades.. At the same time they make the choices as to who is in and who is out. And the way of it is that they decide who is a good murdering rapist (therefore in because you can't teach that kind of thing) and then given them A's to justify their choice.
That's how that works.
They decide the grades for first year students... They decide the grades for third year students. Honors year studnets... On the basis of who will be a good murdering rapist who has given a lot of money in alumni donations and money to crimson education etc.
That's how they make the choices they make.
It's the consolation prize for the kids who gave them so much money.. But weren't able (due to intelligence or hard work) to do well enough on objective (more objective) exams like Cambridge Curriculum to get in to uni's overseas as full fee paying students. Their consolation prize is getting given the best of everything in New Zealand.
