Cramming Colledge

[Maybole]

My 17 year old granddaughter wants to study medicine at university. However, she just fails. marginally. to make the grades required. She is almost a year too young for her year at school so has time on her side. Are their any colleges in the Chiangmai area where she may study intensively to bring her up to the standard asked?

Hey Maybole, there is no D in College, as in your headline. Read and check before Submitting please.

She needs to do something like A levels or IB.  In London we have a pre year offered before starting your medical degree. At 17 they would start A levels. What education does she have now. 

Speaking from experience I taught at the largest A levels college ''Christ the King'' in the United Kingdom. Many of my students went on to King's college University for medicine.

The teacher has spoken. Go to the back of the class and write one hundred lines typos not allowed.

If no-one points out these typo, spelling or grammatical errors, how will anyone learn.

Quite agree. I normally get jumped on when I point one out.

The other option if she (or you) can afford it, might be to get a private teacher for extra lessons in the subjects she is weak in.

What is her ability level in the sciences?  I have a few students who had trouble with that, and they found a school that could help them and tutor them. 

 

That is the best way.  What does she want to study in medicine? There are various levels, ie being a nurse is not as strenuous as being a doctor.

For God's sake, don't give up on her!  She is trying to get into a respectable field, kudos to her, and you as a parent for supporting her.
