*Potential Advice On Pursuing Medicine at UZ After A Level* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ix Pindula encountered a message circulating on WhatsApp that we think might be helpful for some students who have just finished A Level and would like to do medicine at the University of Zimbabwe. It might also be useful for parents who are helping their children make important career choices. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- > UZ does not discriminate against schools, especially the faculty of medicine which I have been part of since 2008. It’s unfortunate that many students who do more than 3 subjects at A level end up including irrelevant subjects to our entry requirements. > Our requirements are A level passes in Chemistry and any 2 subjects between Maths, Physics, Biology/Zoology. So besides chemistry, we count the other best 2 subjects, thus we only consider 3 subjects. > So if one does 5 subjects and gets all A’s and a D (2 points) in chemistry, we don’t see it as 22 points but as 12 points because we consider chemistry first and any other best 2 from the above list. > So the message is don’t force your bright students/ children to take up many subjects if they intend to do medicine. This does not increase their chances. Let them concentrate and maximise their efforts on 3 relevant subjects only. > In addition, we don’t count mathematics together with Further Maths or Applied Maths/ Pure Maths…. etc, we just consider Maths as 1 one subject. So it’s of no benefit sitting for exams of all variants of maths. > Our intake is about 300/ yr for medicine. If we have a high number of potential students (which has been the case since 2014) we conduct interviews. > The interview instrument is to weed out potential delinquencies and those who would have been pushed to do medicine by their parents/guardians when they don’t really intend to by themselves. > We also look at communication skills. This is where some students fall off. Some schools concentrate on bookwork but they don’t groom their students _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
