Application for NUS/NTU/DUKE-NUS Medicine 2023/2024

Do you know what are NTU’s criteria in selecting applicants for MMI? My child applied for NTU Medicine and his A’levels score is 90. I can’t recall his BMAT score but he once mentioned it was a pretty good score. Not even an email to attend the MMI.

Usually after you get your BMAT results, you are also provided a bar charts to see how well you have faired among all the candidates that have taken the papers. Usually most of them scored 5 or above and those that able to score 6 are few. So you know where you stand among those potential. Also the different sections of the papers (e.g. Part 1, 2 and 3) - if I am correct, part 2 and 3 scores are deciding factors that the panel is

accessing. Besides that your referees, portfolio and personal statements also play a part.
You must place great attention to detail; very careful and precise when submitting your application. The panels are very sharp in picking potential candidates. -
I wonder why with a 90 UAS, 5.7,5.7 and 4A, my child didn’t receive a notice to attend MMI.

Those already selected for MMI could be students from Poly/IB/NUS High as they have submitted their applications earlier.

The submission deadline for A-Level students is until 19 Mar 2023. Hope your child will get the good news in the coming weeks (MMIs will be conducted during April).
All the best! -

From NTU website: Interviews at LKCMedicine will consist of Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI), where candidates will undergo several one-to-one interviews with different interviewers, designed to assess a candidate’s aptitude and suitability for the MBBS programme. Applicants invited for the selection interviews will complete a series of eight mini interviews, each lasting approximately five minutes, conducted consecutively in eight separate interview rooms. -
It’s good to have all the requirements and criteria vying for a chance to study medicine. But times and again many excellent applicants still not successful to get into medicine. When you don’t get shortlisted or unsuccessful after interviews, just don’t be despaired but try to improve on your chances and try again in the next rounds of admission.
If you will get a chance to be shortlisted for an interview, whether you will be accepted after the finalization depends on "luck" at play at the medical school’s side and yours too.
"Luck" means what the medical school is looking for at that specific year of admission requirements. You see yearly total intake only admitting 500 students. NUS medicine only takes roughly 300 students, NTU 140 students and DUKE NUS 60 students. This is only part of the competition, they also need to look into Genders, Races, Academic inclination, Distinctive mental and moral qualities. I think quota allocation was also set for taking in "A" Level students from various JCs, IB schools, Polytechnic and those applying through ABAS respectively.
There are many excellent students vying for such a limited seats. So it will be "Luck" if you get to be accepted. Just look at those vying through their university with DUKE NUS (A post-graduate medical school) pathway for medicine. So many students applied, may be shortlisted about 60 applicants for interviews and only about 15 of them being accepted on their "conditional" admission. So you see how "Luck" was evolving here. Likewise "Luck" is applicable for NUS and NTU as well. -

You mean your child received from NUS already?

No he has not. NUS stated they will only notify after closing date. But for NTU’s LKC school, some of his classmates were notified to attend its MMI.
