If this happens then those students still in waitlist are at the mercy of those inconsiderate hoppers. Those that complained that NUS Medicine building is old and not up to trend will now get the chance to hop over. This way it will cause disarray to the proportion of waitlist offer. Especially those on LKCSoM waitlist will get lesser chance now. Not really a fair game with this kind of system.
Yes, the students are still allowed to accept the offer from NTU waitlist even if they have accepted NUS Medicine. It is the same for all other students on NTU/NUS waitlist who have accepted other courses before 24th May, whether it be Science or Medicine or Pharmacy or any other course... If they get an offer later on, they can revoke their place in the course they accepted, to take up their offered place in Medicine.
So it is not really inefficient. Hope this clarifies, Desmond. -

Well, the system is fair game, honestly. If you're deemed as good enough by the schools, you would secure a spot naturally, there's no reasons why students shouldn't be given a choice of school if they can secure a place based on their own merit. If your so called fairness is based on offering as making the waitlist move as far as possible I don't think that's the point of the system. It's the same with anything else in life. If you've made a choice and you're suddenly offered a better option, would you not take that up? Inevitably, factors like distance, cost, school culture do play a part in making a decision in choice of schools and will lead to different schooling experiences. One can't just look at the end point of obtaining an MBBS in isolation because there are real differences between the schools like cost and location etc.rjksj\" post_id=\"1980549\" time=\"1591968509\" user_id=\"186146:If this happens then those students still in waitlist are at the mercy of those inconsiderate hoppers.

2020 medicine subject world Ranking by QS :
NUS : 21
NTU : 144
NUS university medicine subject rankings is much better than NTU。Majority likely want to choose YLL.
LKC waitlists seem have good chance to move more -
However, NUS doctor=NTU doctor .All qualify doctor, all same same.
If u apply SGH they don’t care where you come from and same salary.If you open your own clinic who care ?
When you go see doctor clinic did you see which university he came from ?
Same all qualify doctor,especially in Singapore.
If India doctor in India then different. This is my experience in India. -
It’s too late crying over spilt milk but I still see that the system could be put more efficient and fair.
The important of transport, traveling and cost etc… are some of the secondary factors. Truely passionate and aspirant students wanting to pursue medicine definitely won’t mine either schools as long as they get the chance to pursue their dreams. If this system continue to allows such leeway then many aspirants would be deprived of an opportunity.
The piece of cake that could be shared equally is now disproportionately distributed. No wonder every year many hopeful are being left out of this so called competitive race which isn’t actually a fair fight at all. It saddened me to see many waitlisted aspirants patiently waiting in hope and be disappointed in the end due to such an inefficient system of practice.
Well, I have spoken my two cents worth and will leave it to what called "Luck." -
It’s true to what Desmond has said. Those who have worked very hard and waiting hopefully will be very disappointed when situation like this deprive them of the slot.

Share the same sentiments. However, I believe if a waitlist offer is rejected by the student for whatever reasons, they will make the offer to someone else on the waitlist. So in a sense, the offer isn't 'wasted'. But yes, this process takes a longer time and the longer they make someone wait, the more the feeling of disappointment. Hopefully, they can also cut down on the number of waitlisted candidates. As of now, it seems that the number of waitlisted candidates is too high. Understandably, they are playing safe and preparing for an event in which many students reject ntu/nus. However, one has to consider that the original purpose of a wait list is to select good candidates to fill in the gaps of any rejections. Not more and not less(years of data from them shld be able to predict effectively). Not only that, wait listing too many candidates especially those ranking lower is kind of not nice in a sense that it provides false hope and deprives them of energy which cld have otherwise been spent focusing on their second choices and all.
