  So, back to topic
  
  Firstly, Is a 10 points in O levels good enough to apply for the course.
  
  Next, for people who are currently studying for this degree or has already finished it, how many points did you get for your o-levels?
  

  huh? U know U "havent gone to A level stage yet"? you worry too much lah... just try to do as well as you can for your "O"s ....

  it's not about how hard it is. psychiatry and psychology are different. your job will be different after the course.

  Does every person who go hwa chong end up with no As? Listing exceptions is pointless as there will ALWAYS be exceptions to anything. I know a person invested large money to study in uni but then loses the interest in the subject. Does that mean that i shouldnt persue anything BECAUSE of this?
  
  It is only 3 years to the A levels. My father is deciding whether we should [b]buy a house in singapore. So i have to be sure if i can be ROUGHLY garunteed a psy degree here.
  
  I figured the way i can roughly know this is to ask those students studying psy or have finished studying, how much points they had during O lvls. Then i can roughly(again) know if i stand a chance in psy.

  There's no guarantee in life, all depends on you. Have to work very hard.
  Whether u make it to uni also depend on the results of each cohort- eg this yr. Dragon yr. many did exceptionally well & '88 is baby boom year.
  This yr. onwards, u get competition from pple in the 'thr train programme' like RJC, Hwa Chong. Anyway the standard for FASS in NUS very high. Pple with straight As & Bs are applying.
  
  Your dad can go ahead & buy a prop. Tell him to go for f'hold. He should be able to sell it easily if u decide to go elsewhere cos prop. is booming now.
