This entire thread seems so depressing. I’m going to
ORD. Originally wanted to pursue undergraduate medicine, but was rejected from multiple universities in the UK and Australia. I was from a Poly, so it’s too competitive to enter
NUS or
NTU medicine. From what I’ve read here and what people I know told me, becoming a specialist, especially as a Singaporean IMG coming back to Singapore is just too difficult and will take too much time. I genuinely wanted to do medicine for a long time and pursue a surgical specialty (I don’t mind the working hours and everything else), but it just seems like it’s not worth it anymore? Am I even able to get a HO posting with so many local grads and IMGs?
