Hi,
One has to be realistic in applying for Medicine faculty.
Thousands of bright JC students get rejected every year.
You lose out to top JC students in two ways : you do not have an
H3 subject. You do not have JC CCA records, unless your poly CCA
records were superb. You have to enquire with MOE whether they
consider your poly CCA records.
Unless your journal articles were ground breaking, the committee
for assessing your entry to medicine may not put much value to
them.
You may still try to obtain a private A level cert by applying
to MDIS, PSB, BMC or other institutions to conduct experiments in
their premises, or take their A level courses.
I am not sure how much weight the committee for medicine entry
puts on a private A level cert.
Do consider other options too, eg. a Biomedical degree from MDIS
etc.
All the best.
hmm, you may look at it that way, or one could also see it in
the way that i have an extra diploma qualification.
i have a seat for NTU's biological science already. like i said,
i'm not keen to going the long route of Duke NUS.
but you do raise a good point about the H3 subjects and CCA
records.
1 of the papers that i published as first author, idea behind it
was ground breaking, but requires a bigger sample size (even at
NCCS, being the biggest centre in singapore that deals with 60% of
the cases, there isn't enough data)
