You. Are. Kidding. Me.

Okay I applied to six (six!) scholarship boards and five rejected me outright. Without a first interview.

So no matter.

Then I had to find out that the first round cut-off for NUS med is purely result-based. Thing is, yeah you guessed it. I didn't get the interview.

Okay maybe the guy was right after all. You do need 45 points to be even considered.
