How is life as a doctor in Singapore?

Of course! How many residents actually have parents who are doctors or have connections? In fact, having an unpopular parent as a senior doctor might actually work against you.

London and highly ranked uni are oxymoron at med undergraduate level
Even ntu rejected extension of imperial franchise

That being said, you don't need connections to enter residency
Local grads only kowtow to oxbridge

Ur friends will be making just as much as u in 1-2 years and those who make it to private will be making 2-3 times more than u easily. The fact that u are reading this forum worried about how much doctors make is funny. Yes Law is great too but the lawyers who are doing much better than u are slogging it out in international firms too for the bigger pot of gold

SG GP can make 750k a year?

Firstly u must not confuse undergrad med vs post doc research

University ranking is all abt the post doc research and faculty research
Nothing to do with quality of undergrads, especially fee paying foreigner undergrad

While imperial ucl r good for local british, it is quite easy for sinkie to enter as fee paying international
Only oxbridge is harder than nus or ntu med for sinkie

So if im looking med, at the undergrad calibre i would place
Oxbridge higher, than nus/ntu. Then the rest is chui
Lousy A levels results. No straight As

Then again, med degree after graduation nobody cares
So wont affect ur chances

Hence for highly ranked london

Ur mistaken actually. Sorely mistaken. For the UK, the international entry requirements are much higher than local requirements. Need straight As and a much higher UCAT than NTU or british med students do. The statement is true for Australia tho because of the large number of international seats that they have
