Application for NUS/NTU Medicine 2021/2022

[Harrods]

Just guessing…this year may see some increase in applicants for local med school, pandemic related.

There was this girl being accepted and started yr1 in last intake, that was after she has completed 1 year med school in another continent (she lost 1 yr). Not known how and never ask, probably there were good ground from the school.

ABA is another possible path, if the applicant has proven record representing the country/national level, worth thinking this route. In some cases when normal application path did not yield a call up for interview/test, either take gap year (girl) or serve the NS (boy), or take the ABA path, reapply again next yr. But, once not selected after interview/test, cannot reapply.

Almost like open secret, min 87.5 has a fairly good chance to be call up in normal path.
Between 87.5 - 90RP; the diff isn’t that significant, think of the submission details (achievements other than academic, what makes him/her stands out in the eyes of the screening committee).

Unconfirmed information, every year 2-3k applicants for the limited places.
Roughly 1 in 3 will be offered in those call up cases…
So, 1 step at a time. Decide a path, invest time to prep the submission details with some thoughts…finally, pray.

Let's say if the student just meet the cut-off of 87.5, is it advisable to also apply via ABA (ability based admission) to gain a higher chance of being considered?

Stated clearly in the website under what circumstances ABA would kick in mah... just google and check...

Perfectly alright to ask anything, willing parents will try to share…

If google and check is the way forward, why bother to create forum chat treads…

In 2019.
Call up from 3rd week of March, the scheduled date is very close (within the 1 week from call up in my dd's case).
Offer from NTU came 24 Apr, while NUS came 3 May. Roughly should be around these frames.

Same situation in ours; end day we decided to follow - 10 awards/achievement (most significant ones and pick from different areas, leadership, community services, competition... mainly)

We took the advice from others; over listing may be back firing as screening committee has thousands of applicants to look through...hard job.
