(no subject)
I wonder if I'm still being too cynical... and maybe too one-minded. My entire world view seems to be precipitated on my long-term goals. I wonder if I'm losing sight of the big picture outside of the big picture. After all, my long-term goal seems to be subject to periodic change. That worries me. Whenever I have an obsession, I just one-minded work towards it's completion. Or at least, that would be the ideal. What really happens is probably something more like 1. get idea 2. work towards idea 3. get excited that the seemingly unobtainable is in fact, perfectly feasible. Somewhere around step 4 is where my interest dissipates.
Medicine will definitely be interesting. As I know more and more, it seems less and less like an obtainable goal.
There have been around 30 international candidates who applied to Keio for medicine since 2003. None of them were accepted. The prospects don't look good at all. So then I turned back into the domestic scene.
MLC is pretty... academically predisposed. Especially the IB. MLC has a history of doing very very well, if you discount all the idiots who got in because money. However, out of the 29 students who applied for medicine at different med schools around Australia and internationally, only 3 were accepted. THREE. Now, I'm not sure what their ATAR was, or if they were just being stupid, or if they generally got within the 99th percentile. Or maybe it was the umat that they all failed. I'm not sure.
But I'm not sure whether I want to work towards something which I have might not be able to attain, no matter how hard I work. I can't take that sort of failure. ;_;
