In this video, I answer a bunch of misconceptions about medical school—especially the ones I personally believed before I entered NTU LKC Medicine, and the ones people around me kept repeating. Some of these myths genuinely made me doubt myself and whether I should even apply, so I wanted to clear them up properly and honestly. I talk about whether med school is “super stressful” (my answer is yes and no). The workload and deadlines are real, but I also think it can be a good kind of stress that pushes you to grow—and honestly, every uni course has its own stress too. A lot of it comes down to time and task management, because different people take very different amounts of time to learn the same content. I also address the “big brains only” idea: everyone I’ve met is smart, but intelligence isn’t everything—being proactive, hardworking, and consistent matters way more because we all start learning new content together. Finally, I chat about competitiveness and failing out: entry is competitive (especially in Singapore), but day-to-day culture can be supportive, and in my school the pass/fail system plus supplementary exams means the structure is designed to help you progress, not kick you out.
