Course Curriculum
The competition is basically to score good and to come in the eye of your professor because after you complete your course, you need those literal recommendations for your masters, research and everything. So, competition is pretty high. Each class has either like 60 to maximum of 300 students.
Exams
I reached out to the organisation that helps you out. I gave them my personal statement and application form in first week of June, 2019. After that, I got an interview call and the interview was pretty stressful. Then, they asked me fir my transcripts and everything. My 4 years transcript i.e., class 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th. Then, I gave my IELTS exam. After that I got a COV and the visa process and everything. I had to submit 6 different LoRs. 2 from different doctors under which I worked as an intern and the other 4 from my own school i.e., from my principal, my English teacher, my Science coordinator and my Biology teacher.

Right, then you've got private condos. And and although, you know, Singapore also is like very pricey, then we've come out as, like, pretty high on the rankings, in terms of, like, most expensive place to live in, right, like, but I would say, like, compared to, like, you know, somewhere like, Hong Kong, it's like, we, I would say that it's maybe most international students would find this place more like palatable, because they're slightly more space.
