Don't lose hope, 3 years ago, my DD feeled very sad after NUS interview and happy with NTU interview, but at the end she got selected by NUS, not NTU.

Thank you Antetokounmp. Yes, it's interesting to wait and see how things unfold, sometimes, in the most unexpected of ways. dd only has one shot. nus. She didn't take bmat.

Based on previous years’ notification patterns, we should be expecting the first batch of NTU offers to be sent out by this evening or tomorrow around 6 pm.


Good luck to all applicants and parents.

The excitement is creeping up. Atb for all that are aiming for ntu.

While waiting for the outcome with anxiety, I would like to lend some encouragement to boost morale for everyone here.


My DS has good academic results and applied thru ABAS this year. He was full of confidence as he has equipped himself with credible resumes and referees but was not shortlisted for NUS Medicine interview in the end. Recollection that in 2019 he had went for NUS and NTU interviews, got into NTU wait-list but still unsuccessful after a grueling wait. He stayed on focus despite the failed attempt.

He is passionate in medicine. Understand how difficult it was and the slime chance of getting to study medicine as the competition is very aggressive. So he has chosen his course subject options carefully. He will be going to NTU SBS to study Biomedical Science and Biobusiness. Afterall he is still in the areas of pursuing medical science knowledge. This course also offer them a chance to study medicine at Duke NUS if shortlisted. Duke NUS only select 10 of the top performing students from this course and then they have to pass an MCAT entrance test to qualify. Not easy but hopefully my DS can fullfil his longing passion.

Life is a hurdle race. It’s tough and many obstacles to overcome. We worry too much and live in the moment too little. Whatever you are pursuing be focused, stay on course and don’t despair, it may just develop into a beautiful picture one day.

Yard by yard, life is very hard. But inch by inch, life can be a cinch. All it takes is one step at a time, one hurdle at a time.

Stressful wait for parents as well as the kids. offers for other courses are coming out adding to the nervousness.

Hmm… I’m just curious. The MOs that we encounter in NS, have they completed their NS already? What on earth are they still doing in camp??

[MadMed]

Those MOs are serving to complete their NS obligation, likely about 9 months to a year depending on when they dropped out of NS to start their medicine study. One advantage of them doing so is that those serving period (to complete their remaining NS obligation) as MO can be considered as part of their residency.

What are some of the reasons that one would apply for only NUS or only NTU? If you had wanted to get into medical school, wouldn’t applying to both give you a higher probability of getting it? Also curious, which month does one takes the Bmat for NtU admissions? Thanks!

[MadMed]

99.9% of the reason is due to BMAT. Reason why they didn’t take the BMAT and can’t apply to NTU is because BMAT happens during their A level exam in November.

[MadMed]

No news of offers from NTU yet. I guess it will be tomorrow evening then.


Rest well for the big news tomorrow.
