Despite the excellent grades I have achieved in sciences, I haven't taken a traditional route to medicine. I consider every twist and turn of my life's course as strengthening my determination to become a doctor. I believe a medical education from Sun Yat Sen University would be a great fit to me as it is one of the top medical schools in China. The MBBS program is a very popular program with the teaching quality matching to international standards. The environment in Guangzhou also offers an academic, social and cultural experience of the finest quality. In addition, Zhongshan School of Medicine insists on an important concept since its foundation is to promote interdisciplinary and combination of teaching and scientific research with clinical activities. I want to be part of a university that has a strong medical program and believe the MBBS program at Sun Yat Sen University will empower me with the knowledge and skill set necessary to use my life toward the betterment of others.
