Getting into a medicine program in a Singaporean university is a highly competitive process, and requires a strong academic record as well as other relevant experiences and skills. Here are some things that a student can do while in JC to increase their chances of admission into a medicine program:

1. Focus on academic excellence: Students should strive to achieve excellent grades in their JC subjects, particularly in the sciences (e.g. biology, chemistry), as these are particularly relevant to medicine.
2. Pursue extracurricular activities: Participating in extracurricular activities, particularly those related to healthcare or community service, can demonstrate a student's passion for medicine and their ability to balance academics with other commitments. Examples include volunteering at hospitals or clinics, participating in medical-related clubs, or organizing health-related events in the community.
3. Gain relevant work experience: Students can also gain valuable experience by working in healthcare-related jobs, such as medical assistants or healthcare assistants, during their JC breaks. This can provide them with a better understanding of the healthcare industry and demonstrate their commitment to the field.
4. Build strong interpersonal skills: Being a successful physician requires strong interpersonal skills, so students should develop these skills by participating in public speaking, leadership roles in extracurricular activities, and volunteering in community service events.
5. Prepare for admissions tests: In Singapore, most medicine programs require students to take an admissions test, such as the Biomedical Admissions Test (BMAT) or the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Students should prepare for these tests well in advance and take practice exams to ensure they are well-prepared.
6. Seek guidance from academic advisors: Finally, students should seek guidance from their academic advisors, as well as from current medical students and practicing physicians, to learn more about the medicine program and to ensure they are on track to meet the program's requirements.
