NUS / NTU medicine application 2018/2019
-
petitemum:
Thank you for the comparison. I believe many would choose YLL over LKC because of the difference in tuition fee and proximity....NTU is very very far.....T compare YLL and LKC, in the case of ds 2 years back, we considered the following:
1. fees and bursaries- LKC is way more expensive than YLL but it provides more bursaries than YLL.
2.distance- YLL is nearer and more convenient.
3. hostel- LKC students are encouraged to stay in the hostel.
4.teaching style-YLL adopts traditional lectures and tutorial style while LKC adopts team based learning.
5.male and female ratio: yes, we actually considered this. YLL has more girls while LKC has many more boys.
6. track record- no doubt YLL has a long history, but the Imperial College London has a long history too and has a worldwide reputation. LKC MBBS cert would bear both NTU and Imperial logo, if it matters.
7.professors- LKC has strong team support from London. There are professors from India too.
Btw....does anyone have any idea why LKC charges a few K more than YLL each year..... newer facilities? smaller cohort? why? just wondering since it will be the same MBBS in the end... -
Hi all,
May I know if any child has yet received any news from NUS Med and Dentistry? & their application is still under processing? What are the chances of getting accepted? Does processing means under waitlist? -

Think all offers were already sent to successful applicants last wed and thursday. Highly likely your application was sent to the next faculty for consideration,if any. -
Ok just trying to make some assumptions:
NTU has 138 vacancies. Assuming 50% of them have double offers from both NTU and NUS = 70.
Therefore there will be 70 slots available for those on waitlist. Sounds logical? -

So roughly how many people are on the waitlist?Ok just trying to make some assumptions:
NTU has 138 vacancies. Assuming 50% of them have double offers from both NTU and NUS = 70.

In addition to smaller cohort and funding for new facilites, prob also because of the compulsory iPad on which lessons are conducted?

NUS selects 322 out of 980. Chances is 33%
NTU selects 138 out of 398. Chances is 34%
Both schools combined: 460 out of 980 ( very likely those 398 applied for NTU also applied for NUS). So chances is 47% if the student applied for both schools.
Round 1 - about 33% got offered based on individual school. There is a balance of 14% slots to be filled in round 2.
14% out of 460 = 65 slots available on waitlist. This is close to 70 slots as per my earlier estimation. In fact, if dentistry is included ( since those who applied dentistry are likely to apply to med as well), the chances of one gets into one of the three faculties is about 50%. -

How the nus medicine/ntu medicine/ nus dentistry offer those 70 slots in round 2 ? As if the above three faulty is not successful, it will offer you the second choice —such as lawyer. And u already accept the offer for nus lawyer. Thanks. -
