Ok reality check.
1)Your GPA is really freaking low
2)You studied biomedical science and you already get such a low GPA so you definitely wont do well in medicine since the biology is more intense
3)why dont want study hard?you know deep inside your heart that you wont make it into medicine so why choose to delute yourself?

STOP THIS MADNESS

I want to pursue my dreams as a doctor and I believe with passion and hard work I can get into the course.

Above all, be good to your parents. May you be well and happy.

Heard that results matter for command school tho.. Maybe being a medic will help but with 2.5x.. Maybe you can try overseas uni bro

I got into command school through my sheer hard work and determination and I believe I can do it again when applying for medicine course.

I guess he might be street-smart since he can get into ocs with 2.5. 🤣 actually its not impossible. 2 of my bmt section mates went to ocs too, their gpa 2.7 and 2.9x. But i don't really think the rank of officer and l1r4 6 pts can get a DA/EIS interview for medicine 🤣 what a waste tho. 6 pointer.

Hey! Did you imply that cgpa is applicable for OCS chances ?? Please elaborate. Thank you.

Please keep the discussion related to university. This thread not about ns.

Please lah. This conversation is between two 20 year olds about OCS. Old folks should love us young ones and show more patience. Thank you.

I think u may want to consider overseas uni. Unfortunately, local uni look at gpa first. There r seniors who have mediocre o level score but high gpa...so they managed to enter local uni.

If he doesn't allow then what can be done ?

Write in to ask for another chance the following year ?
i think if he cannot attend discovery day, he will simply need to go through the interview, same year. but honestly, i didn’t know got OC put NS before uni these days

Hi! I actually spoke to the SMU person over the phone regarding Discovery Day as I wasn’t sure whether my work will approve my leave to attend. They told me that if I cant make it I should let them know, and they will try to arrange another date for you to go down. If you do not attend & do not inform them with a valid reason, your son will not receive an offer from SMU at all! Anything, to be safe, just call SMU admissions and check with them.

Hi I'm posting on behalf of my son

He did his IB in 2017 and serving BMT now

Just applied for SMU on 18/3/18. one day b4 closing.

Was choosing between accountancy and business as first choice and put accountancy as first choice in the end.

Then yesterday received email from SMU telling him he has been accepted into accountancy and invited to attend discovery tour on the 24/3.

However if his book out timing can't make it for the tour on the 24/3 the acceptance is still valid right ?

He is still waiting for reply from NUS and NTU. Last check today NUS is still processing.

tbh, based on ur GPA, it is going to be a rly tough journey for u even if u got accepted into med. it is gonna be v competitive. There's a limit whr passion and hard work can bring u, u need to have v strong determination and a proper goal to work towards to in order to finish the degree without giving up.

Just curious, why do you want to be a doctor?

Anyways, if u are really set on applying for med, go ahead. U can try and get testimonials from your teachers/med-related acquaintances, it helps. I know someone who had gpa 3.4+ getting into med, as he had acquaintances (from his volunteering organisation who are lecturers at med sch) writing testimonials for him. However, he dropped out from the course after 1 year as it was too tough for him.

All the best to you, hope u really gave this proper thoughts. Anyways u have NS right? can always just try again next yr :)
