I did Cambridge A Levels and my result is 4A*s (Bio, Chem, Phy and Maths).

As in Malaysia,
I applied for Monash Uni Malaysia (Pharmacy), get offer, but my brother don't allow me to go there as there is no scholarship at all sad.gif

The uni that offer scholarship is IMU, for July intake B.Pharm, 100% off for the tuition fees for 4 years. It requires to compete with all the pre-u include STPM, SAM and etc. It also requires to go through interview and there is only one scholarship available per year! If I didn't manage to get the scholarship, I will apply for JPA sponsorship.

The another uni that I am considering is Nottingham Malaysia M.Pharm (2+2). It provide scholarship automatically for 3As and above, 25% off for the tuition fees (but only for the first two years in Malaysia). Can I know after I graduated, will I able to register as a pharmacist in UK? Will I able to work in Singapore as a pharmacist?
I dreamt to enter Singapore uni since I graduated from secondary school because of its good ranking in the world and I hope that I can work in Singapore after I finish studying my undergraduate (the exchange current of the SGD to MYR $.$).

For NUS, I apply for : Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Accountancy. (I know it is nearly impossible to get medicine & dentistry, but I just feel like putting them into my choices tongue.gif)

For NTU, I apply for : Accountancy, Chemistry & Biological Chemistry, Chemistry & Biological Chemistry with second major in Food Science, Biomedical Science & Chinese Medicine (double degree) and Business. (My friend in NTU told me it is very hard to get into Accountancy.)

Hopefully I can get NUS Pharmacy but I know it is pretty hard too sad.gif So I expect to get NUS Science or NTU Chem & Biologcal Chem. Everyone around me does not support me to do chemistry degree (they say my result is wasted to do a chem degree) and told me it is useless as there is no job to do sad.gif is it true?

I like Chem (favourite subs!)! Academic content wise I would prefer Pharmacy as it include Bio too (my favourite subject too!) but I am thinking to give a try for Chemistry degree as I can enter my dream uni and work in Singapore afterwards!

P/S : Another reason I don't feel like doing pharmacy in Malaysia because there is way too many people is doing it now! I am afraid the market will be saturated by the time I graduate and it will be very competitive if I want to open up a pharmacy retail sad.gif and I can't register and work as a pharmacist in Singapore as Singapore Pharmacy Council do not recognize IMU cert sad.gif

Anyone has any idea? Thanks!

I did my a levels in Taylor's College Subang Jaya. Frankly, although the tuition fees costs a bomb, but I think it turns out to be very worthwhile. You pay for what you get. I really think that my lecturers are all amazing, and they are very helpful.
A levels isn't same as our spm. It is so much different! You can do last minute study for spm but DON'T DO THIS IN A LEVELS. It is going to kill you. Consistent study is a must.
When it is going near your trial exam, just read & understand all the chapters. I don't do past year papers for trial.
After trial, you have about one and a half month left, DO ALL YOUR PAST YEAR QUESTIONS! (Must discipline yourself, plan your timetables, like: I must finish two sets of PYQ today, two sets tomorrow...) For AS I did from 2002 to the lastest, yet A2 I am running out of time so I did from 2007 to the latest. DO & UNDERSTAND THE QUESTIONS.
Hope this help smile.gif all the best!
