One Goal. Many Paths. Choose!

Ammar came over today, got in his car and we sped away to check out the SAITM Campus. The only Private Medical School in Sri Lanka. O_o Yes the only, but there's a good reason for that, The Government universities are totally higher in standard. Well course wise. The Colombo Medical school is the epitome of it all, the Yale or Harvard of Medical schools over here. To get in, is a back breaking enterprise. I'd be lying to myself if I said my dream was to get in there, but rather my aspiration. To start of with, I'm less qualified to get in at present, than anybody else.

London exams, and government universities don't see eye to eye, they are two

extremes. For me to even get on the path to it, I have to complete the Local syllabus A/Level. Which is like challenging a Jap to a sumo wrestle... in Japan!!! Now switching from London to Local, is what I have to do, and this will inevitably cost me another year of my life. But say by some stray luck that comes my way, and I do excel and get in: I'll be considered a demi-god by my peers. Lol.

Well till I wait for that stray luck to find me, I have to check out my options:

(Remembering currently that I can't apply to any local government universities)

1. Apply to Monash/IMU Malayasia, and happily spend the entire life savings of my parents, for seven fucking years
2. Apply for a scholarship (ONLY 10 available for the whole world) in biotechnology at University of Melbourne, and move into the MD degree
3. Apply for full schol at St.Jacobs Germany, which requires the best scores in SAT's (prepare to be raped , first by the SATs and then by German goths)
4. Follow the MD course at SAITM, for only 5.5 million (considerably cheap), and also be recognized by the Medical Council? Too good to be true?
5. Take a gap year, complete Local A'Levels in that year, and wait until my entry letter is delivered, by the President himself!

But considering that my ultimate goal in life has been, and will be, to become a qualified cardiologist, I guess I'll have to take the calculated risks and the unforeseen obstacles with heart, to pursue what I've always wanted. I'll see you in another 5-6 years, You can call me Doctor =P
