Doctor dreams for six out of 10 DSE top scorers

The 10 top scorers in this year’s DSE exams are from eight schools including St. Joseph’s College, King’s College, St. Paul’s Co-educational College, Ying Wa Girls’ School, Hong Kong Chinese Women’s Club College, Diocesan Boys’ School, La Salle College, and Pui Ching Middle School. 

It is also the first time St. Joseph’s College and Hong Kong Chinese Women’s Club College each saw a student attaining perfect scores. 

Jenny Iu Chun-yi, 17, from Hong Kong Chinese Women’s Club College said she plans to stay in Hong Kong to study medicine but she hasn’t decided whether she will go to the University of Hong Kong or the Chinese University. 

She added she has been binge-watching Korean medical dramas and became determined to study medicine after participating in a university experience program. 

Iu said she understands that it won’t be easy working in the healthcare sector especially since the city is facing a manpower shortage. Yet, she hopes to apply her knowledge to help people in need, saying it is very meaningful. 

Super top scorer Ander Liu Chun-cheung from St. Joseph’s College, who also reached level 5** in the mathematics extended part, also plans to stay in Hong Kong to become a doctor.
