points needed for each race are (out of 900), this is for a medical undergrad degree:

 

Black: 534

Chinese (I think they mean East Asian but okay): 660

Coloured: 578

Indian: 700

Open (white, mixed breeds like me I guess, international students too i guess): 700

 

 

 

Come to America--race isn't supposed to matter here

 

I wish I could because:

I can only imagine American uni's are better stocked and respected

Even though Apartheid ended about 18 year's ago and before my very birth I must pay for my parentage, something I had no control over.

 

Unfortunately barring a miracle/scholarship or bursary I don't have enough money to study abroad

thats a lot of "m"s

 

 

it's about all i can say when she's doing it.

 

and now i can more easily lie to my psychiatrist.

I also cannot drop more than 100 percentage points in my 6 subjects of Maths, English, Afrikaans, Science, Biology, and IT and must score more than 200 out of 300 in something called the national Benchmark Test

well let's hope for a miracle then :D

 

My only requirement is that you come to a school near mine :P would be nice to have dm people close by. I SO LONELY

It's sad that race is such a huge factor.... It shouldn't be.

 

sad, yes, causing me immense stress, yes, could possibly lead to a complete emotional breakdown if I don't get accepted anywhere, almost certainly.

 

The reasoning is something like "evening out the odds of Apartheid" or "White doctors will just leave the country", the second one is BS. The first one many people say is just counter-racism. Unfortunately that's the system

The best should get into schools. Race shouldn't be a factor. It doesn't for most schools here--and when it becomes a factor people get in trouble. People who work harder and deserve it more should get into the better schools. That's how it works

 

This is making me upset now :P suppose that's because I'm going to be a part of the education system

the next uni I checked doesn't even offer the degree which now means I must look further away from where I live

I'm getting acid reflux and jitters just thinking about it and I'm more than a year away from even applying...

My dad's boss is actually from South Africa.... Hmmmm..... *Wonders if I can use this to the advantage of my plans*

Ok, listen to me and listen closely.

 

If you're thinking of all of the ways you aren't going to get in this early on, you're going to freak yourself out so much that you're not going to get in. Take a few deep breaths, release the tension from your shoulders, and focus on how you're going to get in.
