It seems that 'you have to give us evidence of completion of qualification within the last 5 years' is... something that someone... made up... mostly because it kept things tidy for them, i guess, becuase grades needed to be finalised by then for ranking.
but research isn't graded so it would have been consistent for them to have given me an offer conditional on completion.
but consistency isn't enough. might not be enough.
if someone says 'you have to do x or you arne't eligable for med' then it seems that their saying it... might be enough to make it true.
and so that is what they did in orde to exclude...
me.
i think i'm the only person who was excluded by way of that 'policy' or 'executive decision' or whatever it's called.
they miscalculated my gpa. according to their own policy statement of how it is to be calculated. they just did it wrong. no other way to say that. based it from a part time year (and it's supposed to be full time years) and my worst 120 point GPA for another year) and it's supposed to be best.
but then the feedback i was given was how i was ranked too low for a place.
and even something along the lines of how they weren't telling it to me to hurt me or make me feel bad, but that even if i was eligable i was ranked so low that i wouldn't have gotten a place anyway...
but then they were only supposed to rank people who WERE eligable. so... why even rank me?
i see no reason for telling me i ranked too low (after telling me in was ineligable) but to hurt me / psych me out.
unless they are trying to teach me (the hard way) that i should have this. i have the right to it. i've earned it. i actually genuinely am one of the higher ranking candidates...
i don't know.
i don't expect it is something they would do or wish upon their own kids. so that probably tells me everything i need to know.
and then of course: but what are you going to do about it?
and that seems to be the thing since i've returned here.
people treat me worse and worse and worse and worse and worse because, well, what am i going to do about it?
and they can tresspass you off the premises. and they can lock you in a psych institution or a jail cell. i guess.
and what are you going to do about it?
and there doesn't seem to be justice...
i put in an official request for information. how many people didn't get interviews who met GPA cutoff. the people who were rendered 'ineligable' to have their applications further processed.
apparently... the vc said... from now on when students are informed they were not selected for various programs... including med and foundations... (the science course i applied to but the awful lady didn't want me doing it because something along the lines of how i'd learned enough already and i should give other kids the chance)... the kids will be informed they can ask why they were declined / appeal / request review of that decision. a 2 step process. then the ombudsman.
so more accountable systems. potentially. now the deans and whatever know they will potentially have to deal with the requests and it might make them a bit more careful / respectful of the students when they are looking at who to select (e.g., to calculate their gpa's properly).
but i don't know that things will come through for me.
or whether i'm just the chump who gets to make things better for... other peoples kids... for the next generation...
constantly constantly constantly...
what about me?
