      We only know the surface news but many of these students know much more of the selection processes. There is many variations in play each years. This year came as a shock to them as they saw diversification in the process. So many good ones were out and instead those averages were in.

      May be jovial personality was the traits they were looking for in this year's selection.
      Hi Desmond
      I don't think it's fair to say\" so many good ones were out and instead those averages were in\". How can anyone be average when the difference in RP is just 1.25?

      By the way, my friend's daughter got in last year.... so it's not that this year they are choosing \"jovial\".[/quote]
      Comparisons have been make among friends coming from different schools in terms of grades and other academics performances. Saw many averages were in and top performers were out.

      Got a candidate who foresaw the interview question a tough nut to crack tried his luck by cracking jokes at the question. The interviewer had a stomachache hearing the reply. He went out of the room feeling a goner. Instead he got in and those who had put a sensible answers to the questions were poke further stressful questions till times were up.

      It's all boil down to who is your interviewers, your personalities and touches that day.

        Once you are called up for medicine interview, you are considered a good student. There are certain personality traits they look for in a doctor and we won’t know the matrix of that.


        Getting into YLL or LKC does not make one better than the others. Likewise getting into medicine does not make one less deserving than the perfect all rounders who are ousted. Everyone is a champion in their own rights.

                Exactly, everyone would agree, anyone who is shortlisted for the interview is a top performing student.

                  Greyskies, when was your friend's daughter accepted?
                  My son has yet to receive his results, it is still application processing
                  Till now most results have been out. Those in medicine, dentistry, law and others have been notified.

                  I suggest your son to contact NUS via email or calling them. They will let him know.

                    My son put medicine as first choice and pharmacy as second choice. If he was rejected I’m sure they would have given him his second choice by now. Still no response. Reply should be by latest tomorrow right?

                      I understand that if application is still processing by now, it may mean that he is on the waitlist. I may be wrong so it is best to email the admission office to clarify
