Appreciate Desmond for the kind and comforting words. Wishing your son great academic success and a meaningful varsity life too.

To all parents, we have done the best we could as we journeyed with our child(ren) from P1 to college. We all deserve a big clap and a pat on our shoulder. Well done daddies and mummies![/quote]

Congratulations GBB! Really not easy being parents, and getting the scholarship is icing on the cake. All roads lead to Rome, wishing your child a meaningful journey in her varsity life!

Couldn't agree more!
Even doing foundation courses, one has to score more than 90% in all subjects (in reality 95% is required). Another hurdle to apply for medicine, one has to take an admission test - BMAT, UCAT or ISAT. These exam are not easy. You can pass but medical school will rank all the applicants according to their score. The minimum requirement that they stated in the website is only a guideline. Only after satisfying academic grades and admission test, then you will be called up for interview - another big hurdle! Have seen Singaporean students failed to meet the requirement of overseas uni but gotten into NUS YLL.

The route to medicine is not easy be it local or overseas.

\"Anything less than straight As, in reality, Zero\" - is so true!

Don't think so.

I have met doctors here that did not get any As for A levels, then studied medicine via the 1 year foundation course route.

I have also met doctors here that studied 3 years in NUS or NTU and then 4 years in a aussie medical school.


So there are many ways to study medicine overseas.

Dear Parents,


Just checking. For those with DS or DD who receive offers from NTU medicine, do your child receive emails and phone calls from NTU subsequently to follow up about NTU scholarship applications?

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, understand the interviews for the NTU scholarship had already taken place.

Am referring to those scholarships that have income cap though.

Thank you.

Are the scholarships for both NUS and NTU on par, in terms of benefits and terms? Would like a review if any. Thanks!
