Hi kibblesmoke, I believe the offers should be sent out in batches. My daughter was asked to accept the offer by 24 June after receiving it today afternoon.

My DS has just gotten offer from NUS (he was waitlisted). He originally got NTU confirmation offer.


Do look out for your DS/DD emails!

NTU waitlist is a separate exercise from the Joint Admission Platform. NUS and NTU Medicine do not communicate so they will still offer waitlisted applicants regardless of whether they have accepted another course, including Medicine.

That's an inefficient system in today's technology standard. Even if NTU offered the course, the applicant is no longer allowed to reject the acceptance at NUS as the window date is over. What a waste of precious time and the redundancy of resources.

Hi, there is nothing wrong with the system.

Say Student A wants to study at NTU Medicine. He has gotten Confirmed Offer from NUS, and Waitlist at NTU. By 24 May, he can only choose to accept NUS on Joint Admissions Portal, but bobian cannot choose NTU.

After 24 May, if he gets the NTU confirmed offer later on, he has secured the position by his own merit (thankfully because other people rejected / pulled out, but he did it fair and square). He has the right to now choose NTU over NUS now - he just needs to inform NUS and NTU about his updated decision.

There is a misconception here that accepting NUS / NTU means you reject the other. Let me explain.
If Student A get NUS Medicine Offer and NTU Biological Science Offer (example), on JAP when he accept NUS, he is rejecting NTU Biological Science (not NTU itself). If NTU now offers him an alternative course of Medicine due to waitlist, he can choose to go NTU but like what i said, just communicate this to the universities.

Not inefficient. Student A rightfully secured both placings in both Med Schools - has the right to choose which one to go to. It is not his fault he got it after 24 May[/quote]
Hi, wrt this, I have confirmed with NUS side that in the event you wish to jump to NUS / NTU, although having accepted the other school during JAP, the school you jump to will liaise with the school you jump from directly. You actually don't have to inform the school you are jumping from as the school you are jumping to will settle all this for you.

Yup he is, due to his prior NTU offer.

Thanks and good luck to your child too!

Anyone else got offers from NUS? The wait has been very demoralising...😔
