: Dear Sir,
: Hope I find you in good health and happiness. How are you? I'm fine.
: I'm now mailing you to ask you for a help. Yes, it is about my education. From childhood I wanted to become a doctor very badly. This was thought in a great service oriented way. But due to some reasons and obstacles, I missed and I could not do medicine. The price of joining a donation college is quite high in our country. Though I could get sufficient marks in the exams to get such a seat through paying a donation, I could not afford it.
: But still the ambition to pursue medicine still exists in me.
: I hold a 3 year BSc in Botany, Zoology and Chemistry with lab and prior to it , I hold a 2 year premedical in Botany, Zoology, Physics and Chemistry with lab. Later after BSc , I have
: a 2 year Diploma in Physiotherapy and a 1 year Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications. Simultaneously I have 3 years of experience in software.
: All these years through Bsc and software and Physiotherapy, I tried hard for medical entrances, but missed narrowly by a few marks or missed due to some calamity and dangerous circumstances right during the moment of examination etc,, or some inexpressable reasons. If not I would have easily joined medicine and finished it. But I deserved it badly.I'm calm and peaceful always, yet I feel my mind will be settled if I pursue the medical degree. Apart from these failures to get into
: medical career, I suffered otherwise too. Even when I applied for a H1 to US, I could not get the papers as the market came down suddenly. Recently too I had a H1 offer, but it did not work out.
: So apart from suffering badly, I suffered a lot as I was unable to get into medicine.
: In india the course takes a long period of 6 years approxiamately. I know about the US MD and the way it takes through MCAT and other things, complicates it. I have seen the
: Medical programs offering preclinical in St Lucia and then clinicals in US hospitals. They are fast track. The St Lucia MD program can be completed in 3 years. Since I have Bsc and such
: back ground, the other program which offers preclinicals in my place and clinicals in US offers its option by giving me credits and allowing me to do it in 3 and a half years.
: These options of 3 and 3 and a half years of the MD programs give me a lot of joy, as I could do them soon, but I dont have sufficient money to pursue them. If you can be of any
: help, I would be very glad. If you know any sponsors too, it would be a great help if my education is funded. If I can get about
: $40000 (which covers the fees for the course), I can pursue it dear. This may be a very peculiar way of asking you, but pardon me if you feel the other way. Please help me.You are the first one
: I'm asking this way. Hope to see your sweet reply . Take care.
: Best wishes. Thanking you.
: Best regards,
: Sharath Chandra
