Medicine seems like a pretty popular career aspiration for a lot of NUS High people. Unfortunately, it seems no Collegetalk writer has applied for it yet as of now. Or if they did, they didn't choose medicine after all. So I decided to look for links on what people who have been through the process experienced.
Click here for links to several blogs dedicated to medical school hopefuls.
This website, The Singapore Medical Student Wannabe, caters specifically to those hoping to do medicine in Singapore. It looks pretty good, got tons of useful information for anyone hoping for a glimpse of the admissions process.
And this one is a bit like a Collegetalk specially catered to the medical interview. It's got people describing what came out in their interviews, etc.
Someone wrote explicitly about the NUS Medical interview here and their feelings.
Quite a lot of people also apply to Hong Kong if they want to do medicine. Someone detailed their experiences in their blog.
18 tips to prepare for a medical school interview.
And of course, the must-read - what the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine wrote on its homepage. It's on the FAQs for the 2010 Admission cycle, so I'm unsure if the page will be on the web after this year.
Internships
So far I have not heard of any successful medical school applicants who didn't do at least one hospital internship. Of course, bear in mind that offhand, I can think of about 5 successful applicants and 2 non-successful ones, which does not make much sense statistically.
