as we all know nus med offers and waitlist emails have been sent out and idk how to feel. honestly im disappointed and wished they would just send out the rejection emails and at least lmk what happens to my second choice and stuff.
throughout secondary school and jc 1 i thought i rlly wanted to do med however in jc 2 i started to waver thinking is med rlly for me ? the long gruelling hours sleepless nights, was that the type of life i hoped for ? ive heard from countless of ppl that u need the passion to get through med and i completely agree with that. when i collected my a lvl results it finally hit me that i had to choose. i only started writing my personal statement one day after i collected my results and whenever i was writing it the same question always popped up in my head “do i truly want med” maybe it was already a sign that i wasn’t that devoted to medicine after all. ultimately i still decided to apply partly due to my father’s wishes and the regret that i would have if i didnt.
i ended up going for the interview and it went horribly to say the least. i knew my chances of getting in were very slim and i told myself i would leave it up to fate. i thought i would be okay even if i was rejected but hearing ppl around me get offers and waitlisted i cant help but feel a bit disappointed. but part of me believes maybe it was a blessing in disguise cause maybe i wasn’t meant for medicine after all given how i had a constant dilemma over it.
to all the other med rejects i hope u don’t feel too disappointed and rmb that you’re capable and life has many other things in store for u and to not give up if med is smth u truly want ! pls lmk if youve heard back from ur second choices too cause now im worrying over it 😥
