NUS / NTU medicine application 2018/2019

Anxious Being:

Hi there,


Can anyone advise on the process? How would NTU LKC waitlist move fast if results for NUS YLL will be out only in early May and the students will be given about a month to decide, which brings it to early June. Also, those who get accepted by both unis and decide to choose NUS are not required to reject NTU, which means NTU can only provide confirmation to those on waitlist after the acceptance dateline. Does this mean those on NTU LKC waitlist will only get the confirmation by June/July? In addition, I know of students who applies for Med as 1st choice, then Law/Dentistry. Will students of such be offered both Med and Law/Dentistry at the same time? Many thanks.

I did read from some past postings that someone on the LKC waitlist did receive offer as early as 2nd or 3rd week of May before the Joint Acceptance close.

It's possible but considering applicants can change their minds any time before the acceptance deadline, the uni is taking the risk that the applicant sticks with his decision. Unless the applicant only has an offer from LKC and not YLL and decides to reject LKC. Even then, I think you can change your mind before the acceptance deadline.

There will be some applicants who will inform the university if they are not intending to take up the place. Then the university will be able to make additional offers. Maybe not many, but there will be a few.

Yes, that did cross my mind but very few will do that. Most would just indicate via the central platform that they are rejecting the offer and leave it at that. And the uni would likely have to wait until the acceptance deadline to confirm the number of places.

Fellow parents,

I have an enquiry. For those with wait list from LKC medical school and if we have indicated other options when we submit the application to NTU , does it mean we will not even get an offer until we know for sure if our wait list eventually materialise to an offer ( hopefully) or get the final rejection from LKC medical school ?

If you have indicated other choices(courses), your application will be sent to those for consideration. If accepted, they will offer you the courses. Wait list is a separate exercise outside the system.
