Sorry, for asking a noob question
Who rank all these universities, NUS YLL / NTU LKC ?
are the people, who rank these uni, reliable ?
I mean, can we trust, or they rank with some motive in mind ?
their ranking, is based on what kind of qualifying criteria ?
Thank you, for clarification -
Hi Wearmask
The all doctors in Singapore are very good and top doctors， even some of them come from overseas! Otherwise, MOH wouldn’t let them come in.
I never said those foreign doctors or overseas graduated doctors in Singapore not good.
Please don’t put your word Into my mouth -

It is worth to go for a second try through ABA for those medicine waitlisted NSmen. As mentioned by peterfamily, the chances to be offered is high cos’ you have gone through their interviews before. You didn’t get in during the 1st try was because of tight competitions and limited places.
As for my son on NTU medicine waitlist, he was good but due to large number of good candidates many were placed in waiting. I believe he will definitely be choosen if he will to apply again next year with NUS or NTU. With his past portfolio, testimonials and his new acquired first aids skills from the army medical school, he will be able to ace it.
He is glad and grateful that NTU had awarded him a scholarship to persue his NTU Sch of Biological Sciences. While hoping for a slim chance for the Medicine waitlist outcome, he is looking forward to join NTU SBS after ORD.
While 4 years are spent studying SBS, he has the time to rethink of his medical interests. He could still persue post graduate MD for Medicine with NUS-Duke after getting his double major degrees from NTU SBS. No doubts his MBBS counterparts need 6 years to complete the degree, he will need to slot another addition of 4 years to get an MD. By then his knowledge and experience will prepare him to undertake high level responsibilities. If not he can continue his interests into area of biological sciences in medical research which is now an integral part of our culture and life survival which the Coronavirus has taught us. We need to have our very own scientists that can do research and come up with the right formula of treatment in the event of encountering another strange infectious virulent spread.
If you have the right mentality and an undying desire, coupled with a strong will there is a way for you to succeed and give back to our country, Singapore. -

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 then different.
You are very biased and judgemental in your views. Please do not make such sweeping generalisation on a public platform. There are many indian doctors who do very well in our hospital systems.
There are also many YLL doctors who do not perform and who are unethical and they are highlighted in our newspapers. I am sure you must have read about them.
You have clearly indicated in this post that if 'If India doctor then different' in your earlier text which I have attached above. I am not putting words in your mouth. Everyone can see your text here.
This remarks is insensitive and inappropriate. -

Do you or does anybody here know roughly how long the LKC waitlist is this year?
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.[/quote]Desmond Tang\" post_id=\"1980585\" time=\"1592018014\" user_id=\"185268:[quote=\"Desmond Tang\" post_id=1980585 time=1592018014 user_id=185268]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.\" -

Let's not be judgemental. Your one experience is not representative of the standard of indian doctors in India. There are very good doctors in India too.
