Desmond, did your son get an offer from Duke NUS with a direct pathway to their medical pgm? My girl said her friend took the NTU-Duke-NUS medicine pathway and rejected Imperial & UCL. Another girl took the SUTD- Duke-NUS special track.Hi! Proud mum,
My son did not succeed in \"Leaping Over The Dragon's Gate\" after the arduous journey vying for NUS and NTU Medicine.
Duke-NUS takes in post-graduate students from Sciences and also the Arts streams. Sciences will obtain the MD and Arts the PhD.
My son will only matriculate in year 2022. He will be studying Biomedical Sciences and BioBusiness at NTU. He will still have time to sort out whether to take up post-graduate study for medicine or a career path in the Biomedical Industries after getting his double major (Hons). Probably most of the SBS students will continue to take up their post-graduate study for an MD for better and wider prospects in their career paths. -

Hi! Kibblesmoke,
Hv your DD gotten the outcome yet?
Your DD should be getting hers soon. My son wait was over just last week, I believed the remaining few in this coming wait-lists outcome should be final. All the best!
Hi Desmond, my DS hasn't heard from NTU, but will definitely update you all here when he does. Thank you, hoping for the best too

From your earlier post info, has your DS accepted Biomedical Sciences and BioBusiness in NTU while still in waitlist from NTU Medicine?
I got info from my DD few years back, she applied NUS medicine and went through interview, after long waiting, she was finally offered the Second choice course other than Medicine, it imply she was no longer in NUS Medicine waitlist. -
Desmond,
Your son could still try the Duke NUS direct pathway at the next intake. I heard the postgraduate applications admission is even more competitive than applying to NUS/NTU undergraduate intake. More than 2,000 grads compete for less than 80 vacancies. So best to secure a direct pathway if u could. Just my 2 cents worth of advise. -
Hi! Seya,
Yes, my son was offered to study Sciences at NUS after the unsuccessful NUS YLLSoM MMI. For NTU LKCSoM, he was waitlisted while being offered a scholarship to study Biomedical Sciences after an MMI interviews by NTU SBS just few days after the Medicine MMI interviews.
He took out NTU SBS (4 years) as the subjects are comprehensive and also it has an additional option for him to study medicine at Duke-NUS (4 years) if he is interested after getting his Science Degree. -

So is his entry to Duke-NUS medicine a guaranteed pathway after the 4 years Biomedical science degree? Or will there be further selection after the 4 years? If it is a guaranteed pathway, it is fine.... only need to stay one extra year compared to NUS YLL or NTU LKC. He will get 2 degrees instead of one. And the biomedical science will give him solid foundation into basic science.... -
This year's thread has lots of helpful information for future applicants. Only have to read through many pages
All the best to your DS for a happy outcome, kibblesmoke. (Possibly one of only a few) Last man standing

I understand that DUKE-NUS only accept Post-graduate students. They do not admit students directly without a degree.
NTU-Duke-NUS Pre-MD Pathway is a collaboration of both Schools, but each of them take charge of their programmes independently.
Students from NTU SBS can expect to stay engaged with Duke-NUS through periodic meetings with Duke-NUS faculty on campus and invitations to activities designed to provide insights into the medical school experience and a career in medicine. A general overview of the coursework requirements and mentorship and enrichment activities. Duke-NUS will access the students performances each year with NTU SBS till they graduate. They will still sit for all the required entrance tests prior acceptance by Duke-NUS. As you can see the processes are demanding and only the brightest will be offered. Most of them will be graduated with an MD in their respective research fields in Science and Medicine. It will take NTU SBS (4 yrs) + Duke-NUS (4 yrs) = 8 years to complete the programmes. So they will obtain a Double Major (Hons) from NTU-SBS and then an MD from Duke-NUS. The programmes from both Schools are very tough and demanding. -
