      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.

        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?

        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.

              Wondering whether any Med 2nd choice got offered while the 1st Choice Dentistry result is still pending.
              And what will happen if Dentistry offer comes. :scratchhead:

                Dear Harrod

                Interesting views, but they are still views like opinion pieces in news papers. How can anybody know the difference if they have only experienced one system, may I ask? All said, whatever suits the child's learning needs. If world is moving to more empowering modes of learning... perhaps it is time to catch up.... wow... are we talking about cryptocurrency here? hahah :imsorry:

                Oh yeah I remember you like to wear mask...

                  My son is in NUS and his cousin is in NTU, with 3 to 4 years gone, I see there are difference in terms of study and social time, relatively.

                    I guess NUS is still holding some offer, maybe of those applied Dentistry as 1st choice.
                    Dentistry might release offer on 10th and NUS might confirm these candidate by 11th May if Dentistry is not offered to them. Just my guess.

                      Anyone received rejection email for NUS med? We didn’t received any email so far and the status still showing “Processing”. Any advise on this ?
