You ARE rejected from local med/dentistry for a reason, don't make the same mistake as me by going overseas
I think the local quality control of admissions in Singapore is very high because it really choose the most fitted students for the university course.I was rejected from NUS dentistry in 2020 and 2021 and was offered Pharmacy. I rejected the offer and made the terrible mistake of spending my parents' money by enrolling for an overseas dental education in 2022.
Unfortunately, I chosen the course for the wrong reasons and this was proven when I failed my second year examinations this year. Till date I have spent over 180k on school fees alone (Adelaide charges ludicrous international fees), with no degree to show.
I was dismissed by the university in April and the worst part of it is that my university transcripts stay with me forever, even after I left it. I tried to apply back to NUS for intake into Pharmacy this year but was rejected on the basis of my poor academic performance in Australia.
This episode has resulted in a lot of stress and anxiety for me. I am warded at IMH and undergoing psychotherapy now.
