The students knew that participating in the medical competition had many benefits, so naturally, they all wanted to try their hands at it. To weed out those who were just making up the numbers, the school intentionally set the examinations and practical assessments to be extremely strict. Out of a few thousand applicants, it's estimated that only a few dozen would make it to the process of the medical competition, if not fewer.
The medical competition had widespread involvement, with all departments of Imperial University providing significant support to the medical program. On the day of the examination, even though it wasn't the weekend, many students from other specialties were given the day off to free up classrooms for the Medical College students' written exams.
