Not true. All the best.
Is there truth that once you select NUS Medicine as first choice and Dentistry as second choice. NUS will no longer consider you for Dentistry since they are not place as first choice - Vice versa. Then first choice seems to be the only choice unless you are also considering other fields of study.
\"How is one selected for admission to Dentistry in NUS?
Selection for admission is based on academic merit and open competition for available places among eligible applicants.
Applicants who wish to be considered for admission to Dentistry must indicate Dentistry as their first or second choice during the application stage. Applicants who meet the selection criteria will then be shortlisted to attend the Manual Dexterity Test (MDT). Starting from 2021, only applicants who are successful in the Manual Dexterity Test will be invited to attend the Admissions Interview.
More details will be provided to shortlisted applicants.\"

\"1) Medicine, Dentistry and Law - besides meeting course prerequisites, applicants are required to rank these courses within the first and second choice to be considered for shortlisting for test/interview. Applicants may rank Law as third choice if you have selected Medicine and Dentistry as your first and second choices. \"

Like the other author mentioned, based on your choices, you get a shot at both medicine and Dentistry. Both has its tests. for Dentisty if you passed MDT, you get that interview.

Assume you gone through interview and you feel good about it and Medicine was your first choice and you give a place, you won't know if you are accepted to Dentistry based on my understanding. I guess no one will reject Medicine if it is first choice and try their luck on 2nd choice. -
According to my daughter. Assuming you perform so well for both. NUS will only issue an offer letter for a place in either Medicine or Dentistry (depending on 1st choice). They will not issue offer letters to both for you to decide. Anyone know of students being offered both Medicine & Dentistry? :?

AFAIK, it applies to any course. NUS will only offer one course of study if the applicant is successful.

If you like Medicine and Dentistry, you must only place them either as 1st or 2nd choice . 1st choice is considered as your main course of choice and usually be offered once you are being shortlisted. Both courses are very competitive, so placing them on 1st or 2nd option does affect your chances as it depends heavily how many applicants are vying for both courses. So those opted as 1st choice will be shortlisted first.

There are chances you might be called for interviews for both and being offered both courses, here you have to make a wise choice between the two after that. -

Not sure. As my DS 1st choice is Medicine. He passed through MDT and got interview for Dentistry. He had only letter of offer for Medicine which he accepted early as non acceptance at specific time means you reject the course. If recollect, Medicine first batches acceptance is much earlier than dentistry.

Dentistry is 4 yr and Medicine is 5 yrs as baseline. There is a difference in total fees and bonds as well.
All the best! Enjoy the process.. but it can be nail biting as well especially the waitlist ones. Both Medicine and Dentistry tests can be a bit stressful but if you use the skills you have learnt, you should be fine. -
For BMAT, is it advisable to attend preparation course? Any provider to recommend?
As BMAT can only be taken once a year, is it advisable to take during JC1 for experience purpose and take again the following year? Easier and less effort to redo a test then a new one… Thanks. -

Yup... noted. It will be replaced by UCAT. Similar to my previous queries on BMAT, will it apply to UCAT as well? Thanks

I suppose similar to the national exams, if one doesn't do well in the first round u can consider to retake the next year. If resources and willingness are not obstacles, can always go gain experience for UCAT? :scratchhead:
