Should I study medicine?

anyone knows the criteria to enter medicine faculty in NUS?

Study medicine?


To me, I believe passion and the inner calling are what determine a great doctor. If I am ill, I would certainly want to be treated by a doctor who truly care about me and not about the money from my visit.

Undoubtedly it is a tough profession to enter; however very rewarding, and I would strongly suggest that you pursue your passion.


My eldest is currently studying at Imperial (London) and it brings much joy to see how much she is enjoying it.

Any advice you could share mum141?


I am hoping for my ds to study Medicine either at LKC or at Imperial in London.

Are pre-med courses worth the money?

Sad to say...the world runs with returns...be it in the form of $$ or recognition, fame or anything. Nobody does things for free except Jesus who died on the cross for you and me for the sake of love of us and of course we mummies and daddies

We would love and die for our kids sacrificially.

For LKCMedicine and Imperial your DS will be required to sit the BMAT examination. Pre-med courses always tend to provoke strong responses with some applicants branding them a waste of money and others saying that they are essential.

In my opinion, neither is correct. They are by no-means essential however if you can afford the course fee, it is most definitely worth sending your DS. What persuaded me was that if my child did not get a space, what we would spend on gap year expenses and the damage to her confidence would be far greater.

We chose Blackstone Tutors courses (http://www.blackstonetutors.co.uk/singa ... ourse.html) in the end, partly because of recommendation and also because they provided assistance locally rather than having to travel to London etc.
