Hi! I am a Year 5 IB student studying in one of the independent schools.


I am really passionate about applying for medicine and just want to find out more about the admission criteria.
1. Is there any IB student that made it to NUS/ NTU medicine?
2. May I know the cut off for med sch?
3. What are the co-curricular activites the admissions team would be looking out for?

Thanks!

Yes there are IB students in YLL/LKC. Not sure about the cut-off, but possibly 42/43?

Will there be an increase in the intake for Med course this year?

That's a really vague question. What do you want to know? Presumably you would've done some research already if you were interested in the course.

Yes jtoh, IB cut-off for Med is 42.

I understand that RI used to form almost half of YLL (NUS Med) intake, but her 2018 % intake (approx) is as follows :

RI- 35%
HCI - 20%
ACSI - 15%
Others - 30%

For 2018 LKC (NTU Med) intake, heard that almost half is from RI. Those who did not receive offers from YLL eventually joined LKC.

how about 2018 percentage intake, from both (SJI IB and NUS High IP students who specialized in Maths and Science talent), into both Yong Loo Lin (NUS Medicine) and Lee Kong Chian (NTU Medicine) ?

(disclaimer - I don't know the cohort profile of YLLSOM.)

What's the admission intake, for YLL (Medicine) and LKC (Medicine) ?
equal intake numbers or YLL admit in more students ?

compare above figure, for RI (35 %) vs. ACSI (15 %) -

a) ACSI IB curriculum - easier or harder to study, Triple Sciences (Pure Chem, Physics, Bio) compared to A-level H2 syllabus (Triple Science) ?


b) panel of interviewers from (YLL, LKC) -
do they favor A-level students over IB students, for admission into medicine ?

Just throwing out a wild guess, but I would think that NUS High kids are more inclined to apply for Engineering. That’s where Math and Physics-inclined people apply to :siam:
