Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar V/S NUS for MED

International Students

<p>I am really interested in the Cornell in Qatar for medicine ... but there are only 18 people in the class of 2009.. any comments?</p>

2

<p>weill cornell enrolls 50 people in their medical class and they also a pre-med program. I am not sure how many they enroll. If ur in the middle east/south asia region then weill cornell is a good option..it all depends on the situation</p>

<p>NUS Med School is the best in Asia, i don't think that cornells' offshore campus can reach upto NUSs' reputation(even if you recieve degree from Cornell US).</p>

4

<p>but wont it carry more weight if i want to go to the US after that?</p>

5

<p>Even in the US, NUSs' med school is more respected then of Cornells Qatar campus, i know one who choose NUS over AIIMS, she got into JHU for post grduation. NUS is THE BEST in asia for med and bio Engg.</p>

<p>It's very difficult to get into NUS medicine as a local, much less as an international. There are maybe less than 10 internationals in my sister's year.</p>

<p>One more factor you may have to consider: even locals have to serve a 5 year bond after graduation.</p>

<p>abhishiv is dead right...its even bigger than aiims</p>

8

<p>Firstly, whats AIIMS. .. and secondly, is it any way i can get the interview waived for NUS or Cornell?</p>

9

<p>aiims is the premier medical institute in india,similar to the iit's of engineering...</p>

<p>yes thats true , there are very few internationals enrolled in NUS for medicine...</p>

<p>We have only AIIMS and the IITs. Apart from that, our colleges aren't that great. The Indian college system has lots of scope to improve.</p>

14

<p>Even the IITs are not so great(barring 2-3 out of 7)</p>

15

<p>does anyone know whether i can get the interviews waived for NUS Med and WCMC-Q ?</p>

16

<p>probably not(for NUS). NTU waives entrance exams if you have olympaids.</p>

17

<p>yeah but NTU doesnt offer medicine does it?</p>

18

<p>no NTU doesnt. NUS has the only Med school in singapore</p>

19

<p>I know that, i wanted to say that if you are an olympaid winner or something like that you could make some sort of excuse for waiving interview.</p>
