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.\"[/quote]

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.

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

NTU: 144 ???

I can’t even find NTU medicine in QS ranking!!!

There is luck called 2nd chance. Your son is now serving NS , he can apply next year , or 3rd chance in year 2022.

My son also did not get a spot in local university last year .He almost cry last year and sad , and bobian to work harder. Then he got double offers this year through 2nd chance. Can set him as an example

NTU: 144 is under “Life Sciences and Medicine” category, but not “Medicine” category.

NUS medicine (NUS: 21) is the only one ranked in “Medicine” category from Singapore.

It will probably take NTU medicine sometimes to be ranked in QS “Medicine”.

Hi, peterfamily,
Congrats to your son. And yes, not gonna allow this rejection to dampen the child’s dream. We will try next year again. But can you please enlighten me on how to work harder?

LKC can reduce the school fee, once it takes in more students, like YLL.
Heard LKC got such planning

Really?? that's new to me

Vice dean mentioned it at LKC Webinar that YLL fees will increase gradually to be almost the same as LKC.

It also new story to me. Agreed it might happen, LKC facility not limited only to 150 students per year.

the present 500 students intake among the 3 schools can have the new slot proportion ? And make the 2 school fee not much different.
Since Imperial London can take 360 medicine students per year ?

but this wont take effect from this year right?

Not this year but in subsequent years, in the near future.

This is the wrong ranking. The QS Life Science and Medicine category actually refers to NTU SBS Biological science course, rather than NTU LKC. This is because LKC is still too new to be ranked. In order for a medical school to be ranked, it needs to produce enough doctors. Currently LKC only has few batches graduated, so not enough doctors have graduated yet. Thus, it is not yet ranked.

For e.g. to compare category
QS ranking for NUS Medicine: 21
QS ranking for NUS Life Science and Medicine: 25 (this refers to NUS Life Science course)
QS ranking for NTU Life Science and Medicine: 144 (this refers to NTU Biological science course)
QS ranking for NTU Medicine: not yet ranked (NTU LKC does not appear in this category yet)

Hope this clarify any doubt
