Yes Code has decided that info about the application process should come before her messy interview transcript. OCD she knows, but shuddup.So you wanna be a med student. First things first, get your priorities straight. It’s not all glitz and glamour. Work, work and MORE work. Shit load of things to study, and when you get to work the hours are hardly 9-5. So say goodbye to your social life because your friends are gonna be having alot of gatherings without you. This is sort of what Code believes, to quote a certain JE worker, “Your holiday is forever my working day.”
Of course, Code is just m1, and she hasn’t started working yet. But she’s heard the stories XD In any case, she isn’t going to deny that society doesn’t award med students/doctors with a certain degree of respect, but if that’s your main reason for applying Code feels there are better jobs out there to do. Oh and yes, the $. Seriously, So you wanna be a med student/doctor ≠ So you wanna be a millionaire. Go into business. Or invent something. Going YLL isn’t the way.
Anyway, the journey into med school [because yes, yll's application process is most definately a journey in itself] begins first with your A level results [or quite possibly sooner] slash GPA [remember our famous 2 poly grads XD]
Code is going to assume, for the sake of convenience, that you have got straight As, blah blah blah and are more than qualified to at least get shortlisted. If you is looking for info on grad requirements, go look at the nus website or google it cause Code can’t be bothered to do it for you XD
Step 1: Apply to NUS via Online Application Portal. Your school will provide the fine details
Step 2a: Wait for the letter than tells you You’ve Been Shortlisted! In no less than 32896572896 words.
Step 2b: While waiting, prepare your dun dun dun duuuun PORTFOLIO. Which equals 2 letters of recommendation, 1 personal statement, 1 CCA list/resume. And prepare 6 copies of it. Details, hm. Maybe Code will do another post on that. Qn: Why prepare now? Cause there may only be a min of 6 days between shortlisting letter and interview date. Code had 6 days yes, but was required to send documents in 3 working days before hand, and there was a weekend and public holiday conveniently right smack in the middle of her 6 days.
Step 3: Send in portfolio 3 working days before interview date to the Dean’s office. Code recommends you hand it in personally to avoid nasty mishaps. Besides, what’s wrong with taking a look around your soon-to-be new home? [Code assumes, at least]
Step 4: Prepare for your interview! [Or Essay, whichever comes first. Code had interview first, so she is following such a timeline.] Abuse google and any other forum/site/blog/etc in your search for advice, past interview qn and such. There are other transcripts floating around on the World Wide Web; Code found at least 2. Don’t mug for the interview, it’s not an exam. They wanna see your personality, Ok? Code does however, believe that a little preparation [NOT FAKING/SMOKING IT] never killed anyone. Self-reflect. Know yourself and your reasons above all else.
Step 5: Go for interview. Code will give you details, but that is a story for another post.
Step 6: You may/may not prepare for the essay. Code tried, but essay topic was as far away from her preps as the sky is from the seabed. Go figure.
Step 7: Waiting game. Just play the waiting game. Or rather, writh hopelessly in the agony of waiting. Being in limbo is NOT fun. And you’ll be in limbo at least a month after start of interviews.
Step 8: Because it’s all happy in Code’s world, wait for the thick brown letter that says Congratulations! You have been offered Medicine! in no less than 89038239548375849320 words. Alternatively, check the Joint Applications portal, the one that shows you offers from all the 3 public unis if you’ve applied to them.
Step 9: Join Medicamp, join precamp tea, join rag and flag, take part in White Coat Ceremony. Start your Med journey before school even starts. Congratulations! You are now a med student.
Step 10: [Because Code is OCD and doesn't like to see only 9 steps instead of a nice perfect 10.] Get ready, get set, Goodbye outside world!
There is a saying. There are 3 things you wanna have in med school. Imagine a triangle. You’ll never attain all 3 points, if you do, you are seriously good. Or insane. 1 – Social Life, 2 – Grades, 3 – Sleep. Take your pick.
And there you have it, Code’s 10 step guide to becoming a med student at our dear yll. XD
