post-grad med advice & my chances: seeking advice from med students/doctors who were in a similar position as me

background: didn’t do well for bio in IB but did well for chem. i was rejected from medicine after IB and ended up graduating with a business degree from one of the big 3 unis (4.4/5.0).

i still would like to pursue medicine/vet/dentistry because i don’t see myself working in business long-term. i’m planning to start volunteering at hospitals and sit for the MCAT, but before committing to anything, i’d really like to explore my options and understand which pathways are actually realistic for me.

ideally, i’m looking for a pathway that i have a reasonable chance of getting into and that isn’t insanely expensive (preferably ~$300k total).

some options i’m currently considering:

Duke-NUS MD: do i realistically have a chance with a business degree 4.4/5.0 GPA

Post-grad medicine/vet/dentistry in Malaysia: are there any graduate-entry programmes that are recognised for registration in Singapore that i have a chance of getting into?

Post-grad medicine/vet/dentistry in Australia/UK/Europe etc: which universities/pathways would be realistic given my gpa, and which ones would be financially feasible?

would really appreciate advice from current med students, doctors, people who went through a similar journey, or anyone with the post-grad medicine route.
thank you!!

looking for asian shampoo recos!

I’ve realised that shampoos with a lot of oils seem to make my hair greasy within a day. I’ve tried Ichikami smooth shampoo and &honey, and while they smell amazing, my hair gets oily way too quickly and the scent doesn’t last till day 2.

I’m looking for a shampoo that’s ideally:
- Sulfate-free (i have colored hair)
- Silicone-free (silicones make my hair so flat)
- Protein-free (my hair gets frizzy if there’s proteins)
- Oil-free
- Has a long-lasting fragrance

Would love to hear your recommendations. Thanks!

Will Dyed Level 2 Hair Lift to Level 4 Without Bleach?

Hi everyone! I recently had my level 1 virgin black hair dyed. I showed my stylist a reference photo of subtle light highlights with a black base, and specifically asked to keep my natural virgin hair untouched because I’d like the option of going lighter in the future.

Unfortunately, my stylist dyed my entire base as well, so my natural level 1 hair is now around a level 2 black instead of remaining virgin.

Since my virgin hair has now been dyed, is there any possible way to colour it to a level 4 dark brown in the future without using bleach?

Thank you!

is it about being first in during presale, or are seats randomly allocated so it’s mostly luck? do presales usually have the best seats, or can you still get front row in general sale? any advice thanks in advance!
