Dear Mummy Joyce
If your child wishes to study medicine, she will need to take the UKCAT test. They conduct the test a few times per year, which focuses on your verbal and analytical reasoning. it is quite a challenging test and certainly, you need a lot of time to prepare for the test. The thing is, you can only take the test ONCE per year, so you have to be strategic in aiming when to take the test.
After the test, there are more hurdles to clear. She will need to submit a personal statement [4000 characters/47 lines]. There is a centralised body [think it’s called UCAS]. So you just have to submit your test scores and personal statements to one body [they only allow you to apply for 4 medicine programme and one non-medicine program] in the UK.
After your clear the personal statement hurdle, your child will need to pass an interview. I do provide training in writing personal statements and interviewing skills (one-to-one coaching). You can contact me at 9017 3558. All the best for your child’s application. -
Just don’t waste time taking TOEFL if you are trying to gain admission into the local Unis.

Hi guys,
I am currently a JC student considering a course in liberal arts. Any insight on the potential difficulties I may face? Uni recommendations would be appreciated!

Don’t have to go overseas. Yale-NUS has a pretty good programme.
What is it about a Liberal Arts Prog that attracts you? What do you intend to major in? -
Are you interested in a liberal arts education, or liberal arts colleges? There’s a distinction. You can get a decent liberal arts education at most of the top US colleges (although IMO LACs do better since they have smaller class sizes and are teaching oriented).
Yale-NUS is also pretty good. The top US liberal arts colleges (as is) are superior to Yale-NUS if expense isn’t an issue.
Here are a range of schools to start you off: Yale, Princeton, Chicago, Brown, Amherst, Pomona, Wesleyan, Oberlin, Reed, Yale-NUS. -
Can anyone advise which are the better UK universities to read Economics?

I know this thread has not been updated for a while, but then I'll still like to put forth a suggestion. One of the education consultant services I've heard of is Cialfo. They help students who intend to apply for UK and US universities and increase their chances of acceptance. All the consultants have graduated from a US/UK uni and very experienced.

You seem to be advertising for them in a few threads already. Are you cialfo? -
