NUS and NTU have different teaching styles. From what I understand, NTU teaches one to have independent learning skills… NUS more spoon feeding. NTU’s style cultivate learners for the future! Having been in NUS MED, given a choice again I would strongly consider NTU

I think NTU's approach is more modern and innovative. Many JCs are adopting the same style... :salute:

May I ask why NUS is preferred over NTU?

My DS wanted NUS because of reputation and study methods which is different from NTU[/quote]

I see.. so NUS has a better reputation amongst the prospective medical students? Wondering if anyone did a comparison between the two.. also I’m quite surprised that the study methods are different?[/quote]Nus has perceived better reputation as it is the older school. But people on the ground now says NTU churn out better drs

My DS got into NTU, NUS is in waiting list. DS want NUS, NTU need to accept by 24th May 2021, if my DS get into NUS, can we still reject the NTU after accepting, what will be the best way, any advise.

You need to select and accept one offer by 24 May. Waitlist for NUS will start to offer after 24 May or after nus receive rejection from student. WL may not get offer, it is subject to availability. After you receive offer from NUS (converted from WL) and decide to switch over from NTU to NUS, just follow NUS guideline, it is easy.

BMAT conduct yearly once. Just before A/L

Is it possible to take it the year before?

I see... So it is crucial to take note of the dates for BMAT for NTU. Are there other dates to take it, instead of right before the A levels?

Nus has perceived better reputation as it is the older school. But people on the ground now says NTU churn out better drs

Honestly, my daughter was sold and perceived LKC as the 1st choice in 2019.
Very warm and welcoming coupled with very new facilities both in NTU and Novena...
TBL was quite interesting, probably lots of opportunities for sharing knowledge within the group...

YLL is an establishment with >100 years of history.
It does not makes us felt as warn and welcoming as compared to LKC.
Their CG system (6 or more in a group) is similar to TBL.

LKC offered 1st, a week later, YLL offer came...Like some of you, receiving offers from both school means dilemma.
My daughter was kind of skewed towards LKC; Warm, welcoming, newer facilities, good vibes.
Wife and I skewed to YLL (We didn't expressed this to her); Its natural instinct.

After talking to families and friends; She accepted offer from YLL, despite her mind was skewing towards LKC.
That was a difficult choice, then.

We discussed strengths of these 2 schools over the weeks before deadlines to accept either offer.
Final decision is hers; either way, the same MBBS.
Progresses is really up to individual and what drives them beyond the 5 years in school...As parents, we will have little or no influence.

Over the past 2 years, she had truly enjoy her learning journey in YLL; the friends she met and made...still making and enjoying. Pre-covid, there are so many opportunity of local & overseas programs; sadly some plans were aborted since last year due to covid.

Forget about some hearsay that med school = not enough sleep or no social life.
I think her time in med school is far more interesting as compared to her JC time...

BTW, she did not opt to stay in hostel, which we are glad, very happening place even for med students.
Due to this fact, she best friends are also not staying in hostel...friends are very important factors, this I believed.

Greatly appreciate your input, does your daughter have more input as to why she think YLL is the better choice? I heard from friends that NUS curriculum is starting to copy NTU curriculum and that NUS is slower to adopt more modern teaching styles. Also heard that NUS \"over-teach\" as compared to NTU.

Anyone with Dentistry as first choice and Med as second choice has received Med offer or waiting to know the outcome?

[Libra10]

Yes. Received a WL for NUS Medicine but yet to hear from Dentistry. Dentistry was first choice and Med is second choice. This is a fr a close friend, info is reliable
