      All subjects As, plus interview with role plays. Attrition rate high on entry test, but low throughout the course.

      One of friend’s son got in with a B (the rest As), AAAB last year. The interviews play a crucial role than perfect As, so don’t need all As these days, I think?

      Wow, that's good. A colleague who once worked in the selection dept says once in most will make it unless they lose interest.

        Think is more than 2000 applications, 700 to 900 will get called for interview, 400 plus will eventually be in. Based on what I know. Not sure if this is the true now.

            DD shared that 1 of her CG mate was RP87.5, got it 2nd attempts (2019), normal application path.

            Means 1st attempts not selected for test and interview.

            So, materials preparation for submission plays a very important part…Everyone applying for Med has perfect or near perfect RP.

            Good luck to all…

                My good friend’s son has perfect A for all subjects but was not able to get in NUS after two interviews. Now happily studying in other country. So wonder what special requirements are they looking for?

                    What is the course fee now?
                    YLL 2019/2024 batch, 2 x $14,602 for each semester.
                    Bond was $620,000
                    LKC is $5-6k more per year.

                    Fee is increasing every year... 😓

                      My good friend's son has perfect A for all subjects but was not able to get in NUS after two interviews. Now happily studying in other country. So wonder what special requirements are they looking for?

                      2000+ apply for 450+ (YLL + LKC) in med, some apply for den with 150 places. It is that competitive !
                      Other then those few with scholarship, some opt for overseas study, if dad&mum foundation/holding is financially able to support. Bright side is, in some cases, SG does offer to pay the expenses of overseas tuition fees to bring these docs back after they finished the study. This is real.

                      While I am still fresh, the shortlisting & selection process for interview and tests are unknown...Best guesses.
                      Perfect or near perfect RP had to be 1st gate (All applicant almost same), what make candidate stands out ?

                      Need time to think and organize these for submission.
                      What & how involved is the candidate in community/public services ?
                      What & how outstanding is the candidate in leadership (school CCA,...) ?
                      500 words essay - Why my reason is better than other, why I should be given a short at interview & tests.
                      On-line recommendation - Prepare to request a teacher who know your strength, he/she has to sell it.

                      Say if selected for interview - This is where candidate has to show the 'passion' and 'compassionate' parts, FTF, in words.
                      Role play in tests - Short time to complete several tasks in different settings, also want to pick up candidates with passion to serve...
                      (Dentistry : test to bend wires into shapes, make molar with playdough)

                      Say if gotten offer and accepted the course, SGPorean receive tution grant.
                      Sign bond, now the candidate+Dad+Mum are indebted $620 (2019), later more expensive...

                        Hi, one of my daughter’s fren asked me this qn, though I am even more clueless than her.

                        She has 90rp, took 3H2 (ChemEconMaths), 3H1 (PhyGpPw), can she apply for Med?
                        I read online ystd that Med reqm is 2H2 Sci, one must be Chem, the other must be Bio/Phy.
                        I can’t remember exactly, but I seem to recall Med’s reqm was only H2 Chem.
                        Another friend with 90rp, 3H2 (ChemEconMaths), 3H1 (BioGpPw) is also keen to apply.
                        Shld they go on ABAS for better chances?
