Anyone has kids who had taken up either PSC (OMS-Open) or EDB Scholarhsip can share what is it like after they are back to Singapore after completing their course?


Which scholarship gives the kids more control of what they want to do?

Need valuable advice from parents on the pro-cons of the above scholarship.

Thank you!

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:

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.

Let us enjoy harmony here and share happy news or ask for advice for problems from each other.

No school is perfect or being the best.

Each kid will develop well in whichever school that suits him/her most.

We just need to let other parents know what is going on in the school and what kind of achievements the school obtain.

If notice carefully, parents of this link DO NOT usually want to compare this school with other schools.

We would like to share to all what this school can do and is progressing very positively forward and towards the goal of which MOE initially wanted this school to achieve.

And here is how to sell a school:

This link is for RI Founders Day.

Each school will deliver such speech by its principal during their speech day too (if you do attend the ceremony).

Not all school will publish this speech on their website.

Maybe the parents could also refer to this link for further information:

[quote=\"phtthp\"]hi happymum8,


can students from NUSH enter Dentistry ?

I can boldly say that those NUSHS students who did (advance) research in life sciences including medical related areas would clearly have an advantage over their \"A\" level counterparts in seeking medicine or dentistry in NUS or NTU. That's the obvious advantage of NUSH over others.

To get into NUS medicine, the most important thing is to convince the panel during the interview why you are suitable to be a doctor, or rather why you are a suitable candidate to read medicine at NUS.
Knowledge/results are not that important.

As for Dentistry, the most important is similarly to convince the panel that you are a suitable candidate and shows that you have the dexterity to do it.
Dentistry really depends a lot on your hands.
There is no point if you have the knowledge but you hands are just not skillful enough.[/quote][quote]Knowledge/results are not that important.[/quote]This statement is not totally valid: knowledge/results and how sincere you speak will determine your chances of success.

Understand from panel of doctors interviewing the students for these past years, they are surprised on how the interviews were so scripted, especially coming from some students of top school.

Speaking Skills – superb but Sincerity is not shown too clearly...

If parents seriously want to compare:


Specialization Vs Generalization

If you know what I mean…

Focus is different !

But all will still end up in Uni with students from different schools doing certain similar courses.

Oh no! If you noticed, this started as a guide for parents for their additional views when choosing sec school.


There is NO need to compare each schools. All top schools have great curriculum to cater for different needs of students. It will never make one feel great to demote another school just to show how great one school is or how good they sell themselves.

Anyway selling points are different!!
