As for NTU medicine, he was placed on wait list. For the time being he was invited for a double major programme interview at NTU School of Biological Sciences. This particular course has a tie-up with NTU-Duke-NUS medicine pathway. It will lead to a medical degree as Doctor of Medicine (MD) after a total of 8 years of studying.
I see it is an up hill task for such aspiration, a big hurdle after another. He has to go for interviews at NTU then again at Duke NUS and sit for MCAT exams. Again at the end only the best results would be selected to go for the degree in medicine (4 yrs) after completing the Science Courses (4 yrs).
Hope chasing the moon brings the passion nearer and don't ended up like chasing the wind after all the hassles.[/quote]
In the meantime, just try his best for NTU and Duke NUS interview.
Jia you ! Medicine is not an easy path. Hats off to these kids who choose this path.
