My DD is offered another course but on wait list in medicine… by accepting the offer, will her chance under waitlist be affected?

I recall in Page 2 of the WL Notification Letter, it mentions that “Your acceptance of an admission offer from another degree programme will not affect your position on the Medicine Reserve list.”

My child and his classmate have double offers and both have decided on LKC Medicine after they spoke with seniors, and also senior doctors (friends & family) who teach at both schools. Personally I have no preference on either school, it’s the same MBBS (Singapore) that will stand all in good stead. Here’s sharing what they have learnt.

- Precisely bec LKC is a newer school it delivers innovation & progression in the curriculum & student teaching
- Very receptive to committing time & resources to initiatives & feedback, including many student-led ones
- Teaching pedagogy is superior ; Facilities for teaching & learning are “best in class” (quoting what they say)
- Strikes a good balance with both local SG teaching & UK via Imperial College (with really big names in the field) with opportunity for joint research projects with UK students :personally I like this for multi-dimensional exposure
- LKC is linked to National Healthcare Group wherein TTSH is a key teaching hospital (not the only one, but key). TTSH has been voted by students as amongst the best teaching hospitals by medical students in their clinical years (yr 3 - 5)
As a parent who’s only known of NUS Medicine (I was in NUS in the 90s!), I am happy to see youngsters having their own decision criteria. Anyway, both schools have such equally stringent admission criteria that we know either decision won’t be wrong.
Now it’s onwards to 5 years of very tough schooling ! Hope everyone’s kids have submitted their choices & to those on the wait list, all the best to you!

NUS has a long history and is a very established medical school, with a good reputation. Their teaching methods and facilities are definitely good and reliable, according to some doctors that I have spoken with, who graduated from there. They also told me and my dd that graduating from NUS medicine gives you more and wider connections, which is good for our children’s future career. Connections are important in helping the child find seniors to learn from and it helps with patient referrals too. (which is a practical consideration for a career as a doctor)


Just sharing some information that was shared with us. Hope that it helps!

Hi!
Understand your anxiety as a concerned parent. The waitlist will move pretty slowly. The last final announcement will be end of JULY for those on the very last of their lists. Wishes all those on the waitlist the very best of luck.

Thanks Desmond Tang for your sharing. Guess it will be a long wait these coming 2 months, probably filled with anxiety and uncertainty. Well, come what may, life still goes on. If the WL is converted to a CO, it will be a joyous occasion. If it does not materialize, similarly, life still goes on and both parents and children must move on.
