A friend's daughter was rejected even with perfect academic results. The reason is she was never involved in any healthcare work, never work/volunteer in any hospital/hospice etc.. Instead, during the hols, she was in sales/marketing. So this does not reflect any passion to practise medicine. Some applicants did not have such good results, but because of their experience/obvious passion/interest in healthcare, they're accepted.my friend said Medi faculty very competitive ...
she said many applied.
but there're also cases where candidates with perfect academic results, plus also perfect CCAs results ... also got rejected. dun know what they're looking for. -
:thankyou: sall, for highlighting to us.
you're right. Sales & marketing got nothing to do with the heart coming from a person.
Perfect score without a heart means brain without feeings.....like an andriod or robot.
Medical doctors should have compassion. That's what interviewers are looking for......to show love, compassion, sincerity flowing spontaneously from your heart. must show that you don't mind being around sick old people - who are often dirty, smelly and grouchy. Everyday treating patients' wounds, bandaged bleeding sores, smelly feet with wound, oozing pus, etc.
to be a good doctor, Integrity and character comes first. Like Da Chang Jin (korean drama), she display great kindness, mercy, compassion for the sick, and for the poor. Even when there are many poor helpless children down with some sick deadly virus and there is no known medical cure then and she has to discover how to solve the problem, she still took the high risk to stay with them in a remote hill, sing songs to them to cheer them up, hug them to sleep, give them motherly love, took great care of the kids - even though she knows jolly well she is in high risk position, can catch the deadly virus from the children anytime herself, may die anytime. She is very noble. -

She obviously was very ill prepared. There are some other applicants who at least made a last minute attempt and found some part time work in clinics as interns. But frankly they are just smart and not altogether really interested in Medicine. Many of them have been coached by parents or relatives already practising Medicine.

I heard about one such girl from a top JC. She interned at a famous hospital but was spending more time sms-ing her friends on her phone. Took every opportunity to leave early while others were still working hard to cope with the patient load.
:roll: :roll: -
i think those parents who are already practising doctor practioners - can easily help their A level son / daughter find some lobang inside the clinic or hospital as an intern … being doctors themselves working inside the hospital with network of colleagues & pull strings here and there, i’m sure they’ll know where the lobang are.

Snow Crystal:
Sure not easy ... So few places and so many applicants each year. If can't get in got to go via PM (Papa Mama) scholarship to overseas medical schools :moneyflies:
Oh, btw RI(JC) has college admissions counseling including how to apply for overseas unis etc. They even have admissions counsellors. Not sure about NUSH .. If NUSH doesn't have that, I would think that as a parent, RI (JC) has an edge cos not so daunting for us parents iro uni applications. Please don't flame me ok :pokeeye:

College Counselling
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The College Counselling unit guides students in their exploration of possible tertiary and career options.We keep track of student’s academic performances and discuss their expectations with them. We then identify and assist in mapping out the educational pathway and identifying their future career directions.The guidance programme includes individual counselling and various guidance activities such as the administration of personality profile, learning how to write a CV, interview skills career and college application talks.
Students have access to Family Connection, a web-based resource to help them research and plan for college as well as to find out more about different careers. Through these exploratory activities, students develop self-awareness, find out more about options available to them and learn to create personal higher education and career plans.

hi UncleLim,
that very smart bright intern girl who enjoyed sms … her parents planted her there in the famous hospital hoping to expose her to some real life experience(s) in a hospital, eg: handling A & E emergency cases. However, perhaps her interest and passion lie somewhere else instead. Or perhaps she’s afraid or scared of blood or helping to treat sore open, smelly wounds, so not keen.
however, note: this world very small. If her attitude is not there during intership, and if NUS interviewers happen to call up her work supervisor to ask for some feedback testimony about her like 'Hello, what do you think of so and so … ? ', she’s throwing away her chance … regardless of whichever hot, popular faculty she’s trying to apply for admission (not necessary just Medi faculty, can be any other faculty). Just one phone call to find out the truth, check on her … will give her away. So parents to educate - remind their child that attitude during internship is very important. Don’t play, play with internship. Because some youngsters tend to take it lightly, like just for fun.
