Hey yo fellow batch mate!
Want to study in NUS medicine? Please do take note the following
points:
1) Your application essay must be well written
2) Your grades must be good enough for their requirements. This
point I am quite sure you are qualified. Chemistry grades is
important too. Since you are constantly top 20 in chemistry in the
level + chem olympiad gold, this should be no problem too. Bio
would be a good bonus and you take it too, so pass (Do not take
their words that Bio is not necessary. It is not necessary but it
is certainly a BIG factor)
3) You must give them what they want during the medicine interview.
Being brutally honest is not going pay. Everyone loves sweet talks
eh? It helps too if you have some relatives who are possibly on the
panel or know people on the panel (i heard there's this guy from
hci whose father and uncle is possibly on the interview panel). Yea
connections do help. It sux but it's the reality out there.
4) Do some internships in medical boards like NUH, SGH etc etc. Get
the idea?
And the rest is really a function of the position of the stars, the
moon, the sun, the planets and your luck.
These are just what my seniors told me. Anyway do consider that a
good 4 to 5 years is spent studying medicine in NUS. By the time
you finish your housemanship of around 2 years, your peers in other
courses may already be higher on the wage ladder. If you want to be
a surgeon, you are looking at your 30th birthday before you can
start to work as a doctor properly.
Really. If you do not talk, no one will say that you are
dumb.
BTW, it's aspirin, not aspiring. Aspiring is a continuous form of
the word aspire.
OMG you are truly more retarded than the TS here.
